A few observations …
As you all know, I'm a writer and as such I read a lot. And I do tend to come across some 'interesting' books. You know what I do with the ones that absolutely astound me with their nonsense. That's right. They become a teaching tool. So this is the thing - I'm reading a … Continue reading A few observations …
Don’t rock the boat …
Or do. It's entirely up to you. I was thinking about the new Veronica Tracey Spy/PI story that partly exists. There is definitely 'boat rocking' in that story. Ronnie isn't one for calm waters, too boring. If I don't sit my arse down and get on with it though, that story will never completely exist. … Continue reading Don’t rock the boat …
Don’t take it for granted.

After it ended a few really hard things happened so I think going back to Pain Management might be good idea. We had a couple of big … Continue reading 2024 is almost done.
It might be summer.
Today might be summer. Can't vouch for tomorrow and it definitely was not summer yesterday. Such fun. Every day we play 'guess the season' in the valley. In other news, the first round of edits are done. Now I know why my lovely editor refers to [IRL] as 'the one with all the hyphens'. I … Continue reading It might be summer.
Merry Christmas and Happy Whatever!

Christmas Eve 2024
Kia ora,Welcome to Christmas Eve in New Zealand. It started with a text to a friend who has a Christmas Eve birthday. I was first to say Happy Birthday so that's a win.
