Thank you Garth Brooks for the fantastic song/blog title. Some of you know that I've been struggling for quite sometime with this new book. It's opening 10k has been re-written four times now because I couldn't find my voice and didn't feel comfortable with the POV. Turns out, it's hard leaving my comfort zone and … Continue reading Friends in low places

Welcome to Friday and the ridiculous made up holiday that is Feb 14th. Yeah, I'm not a fan. Been a funny old week, hence the blog title. I'm not going to elaborate but I imagine you can all figure it out. Work started properly on the new book. It has no title. It's a tad … Continue reading Stalky McStalkerson
The best kind of surprise
Yesterday I was at the bookshop, writing, actually re-writing the beginning of a new body of work because I didn't so much like the direction it was going and also, these are new characters (or some are) so, it takes a bit to get to know them. So, anyway, I was at my desk writing … Continue reading The best kind of surprise
Made up holiday, anyone?
To be honest we don't really bother about Valentine's - the whole long distance thing makes it hard enough without adding commercial 'holidays' to the mix. (Bad enough that we weren't together for our birthdays and Christmas last year!) But, we're pretty good at appreciating each other every day. :)I know a lot of you … Continue reading Made up holiday, anyone?
Roll Me Away
Friday. Been a good week. Miss My Knight a lot (what's new?) and it feels like we're due some face-to-face time instead of FaceTime. Writing wise ... heard back from the first 3 Beta readers - they're people who have read the Byte Series and who understand the characters and relationships, and all the inn … Continue reading Roll Me Away
Where am I today?
Over on the Break it Down Show with Pete A Turner! YouTube Link below. You can't miss it. I love talking with Pete, he's a good mate and he gets how nuts the creative process is (for me). Also, he does amazing work and you should all support this podcasts and Save The Brave. Please. … Continue reading Where am I today?
It’s all over bar the shouting
Or in this case the reading, tweaking, reading, muttering to ones self things along the lines of: "What the hell was I thinking?" "Where'd you come from?" "Yep, I like that." "Holy MF, that cannot live there!" ... once that's over, Vaporbyte will be in better shape to meet my first two beta readers. When … Continue reading It’s all over bar the shouting
Life, writing, and whatnot
Morning all, It's Friday! Hooray. This evening is the beginning of a 3 day writing weekend. Such joy. Be more joy if I finish reading today, so, fingers crossed. I'm heading toward the end of Vaporbyte, still quite tempted to change the name because Vaporware/Vaporbyte, it amuses me to change the name at this stage. … Continue reading Life, writing, and whatnot
I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing …
Thanks for that gem Aerosmith. I do love it. I pressed play, had no idea what I was listening to last - so, the Armageddon sound track was a nice surprise. 🙂 This song in particular has been a favorite for years. I've been hard at it over the last few days, making a lot … Continue reading I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing …
And just like that …
It's a New Year and a new decade. I wonder what the twenties will bring? I've been a published author for a decade and one year, because my first novel was published in 2009. In that time, I've had 12 novels, a couple of novellas, a LOT of short stories (an actual shit-ton), a book … Continue reading And just like that …
