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
Do I like you?
Welcome to 'things I think about on my way to work' Wednesday. There's a chance I do like you. A very good chance. About the only time the answer will be an outright no, is if you are a digital pirate. If you are, you can fuck right off and get your sticky little fingers … Continue reading Do I like you?
It was Crashbyte …
This morning I opened a file called 'Crashbyte' - that's what Vaporbyte was always supposed to be called. Book 12: Crashbyte. Somewhere as I was following the story, (and it happened pretty fast - two chapters in) I realized Crashbyte wasn't going to be book 12. It may not ever be an anything. That's okay, … Continue reading It was Crashbyte …

Life versus writing
Funny how things change. Used to be writing that was my happy place. Now it's Perth. I have little time for writing and am struggling to find a reason to carve that time out. Finding writing time has been increasingly difficult for the last four years. The only real writing time I get is when … Continue reading Life versus writing

Carry on (Fun)
Another Tuesday rolled around and disappeared. Keeps happening. Thought I'd share something with you today. (Not the delightful cold/flu business that TBH incubated and decided to share with me, you're welcome.) But this: Mo Mhuirnin - it's a little thing on Amazon. It's also now on Smashwords (which means it's available in ePub), yeah, that's … Continue reading Carry on (Fun)
Last Chance Train
Blog title is a song from "100,000,000 Bon Jovi fans can't be wrong". You know what makes an author happy? Come on, you do. You got this ... say it with me, "REVIEWS." There ya go. I knew you had it. I would be ridiculously delighted if you'd leave a review of the Byte Books … Continue reading Last Chance Train
My life is a book …
Seriously! Saw a text from TBH when I woke this morning about strange noises and something/one outside our house - in the front yard. She also said it sounded like something 'heavier than a bird' landed in the tree. The tree in question is a huge camellia tree, right outside my bedroom window. Yeah, I … Continue reading My life is a book …
