Seemed like a good title for a blog post ... not sure if it works but hey, you be the judge. Since I've been away taking very good care of #MyKnight while he recovers from a hip replacement, I've actually done a few things. I know, I was surprised too. For starters, ALL the Byte … Continue reading Dear Readers,

What life’s all about …
Obviously, I dunno what life is all about for you, but for me, it's about stories. Gathering stories. And how does one gather stories? Well, by doing shit. By taking chances (risks if you will), but really it's about doing shit. Just do something. Don't sit there like my Nana did for fifty-seven years and … Continue reading What life’s all about …
Everything should sparkle
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!

We have a little something special (and fun) planned for this launch but you'll have to come along to find out what that is. Wasn't sure if I'd be able to organize a launch this side of Christmas but … Continue reading Launch date and venue announcement!
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 …
