Seriously, it should. Not just because I just saw a glitter helmet on the telly (watching American Pickers with My Knight). I've been a sparkle lover my whole life. And you all know the joy when my daughter told me I could have GLITTER on my book covers. 🙂 As it stands now, two of … Continue reading Everything should sparkle

Learning stuff!
After spending almost all afternoon trying to animate a book cover and thinking it didn't work outside of GIMP ... my brain kicked back in this morning and of course it works. Doh! So, back into GIMP I went and messed around with Cryptobyte just to see ... this is a first attempt and with … Continue reading Learning stuff!
Total hip replacement
Welcome to a random post about our life right now! This morning I was supervising exercises ... looked painful and there are a lot of exercises to do.But then if you think about it - it's going to be painful.

Goodbye Missy
We said goodbye to our grey cat today. She and Romeo were besties and now they're together again.

Cover reveal …
I literally saw this cover five minutes ago as a finished work. This is the second cover my very talented daughter Jojo has designed for me. And there is glitter! I'm not even kidding!!
The learning curve
This morning I was thinking about all the changes in the last 8 months. Some are good and definitely for the better, some sparked a steep learning curve, and the last one was an expensive lesson. Didn't need that. At all. Without going into detail: Lesson learnt and sometimes (professionally) change isn't a good thing. … Continue reading The learning curve
Drinking coffee with Jimmy Buffet …
Obviously not in person, but I'm drinking my coffee and listening to Jimmy Buffet on YouTube - so that's close, right? Don't have much time for mucking around this morning. Got a rep rugby game to watch at 9. Grandson 2 is playing. Last time our surname was in an Upper Hutt rep team it … Continue reading Drinking coffee with Jimmy Buffet …
“How do you start to write a story?”
Now there's a question and a half. It's something I'm asked fairly frequently and I still don't think I have particularly helpful answer, even after writing 16 novels and countless short stories. Yes, I said, 16. Four still sit on a flashdrive and remain hidden away from the world. Those four were the beginning; my … Continue reading “How do you start to write a story?”
A possessed MacBook
This weekend I discovered my MacBook is possessed. Yep. Or at least something has possessed the cursor and it does whatever the fuck it wants whenever it wants. It moves around so much and moves my screens so much that it makes me feel ill. I have zero control over it when it does that. … Continue reading A possessed MacBook
