Yes, I'm listening to "Black and Blue", it's one of my favourite Stones albums. The last few days haven't been much fun. Somehow I contracted COVID. Don't know how or when. FYI, you don't want this.

What is it about?
That fun moment when someone actually asks you what your next book is about and you haven't done that one thing you tell all writers to do ...

(You Want To) Make A Memory
Bear with, the title of this blog is a Bon Jovi song from the Lost Highway album. Pretty sure a few of you knew that. 🙂 Why did I choose it for today's blog?

Drowning in the deep.
Twitter has been interesting the last few days. My former editor from the now-defunct Rebel ePublishers was tweeting a few of us. Our relationship goes way back to 2009. Jayne Southern is the best editor, she's truly fantastic. She made us all so much better. Her sense of humour and care kept me going more … Continue reading Drowning in the deep.

Other times it doesn't become apparent until halfway through whatever the thing is and then there are those times when a title seems like mission impossible. Do you know what else is hard?Writing an entire book that … Continue reading Writing and whatnot
ISBNs, Blurbs, and travel
Two of those things are related. (We'll get to travel shortly.)Today is a blurb day. I wanted to get something together for [Leave a message]. I've applied for the ISBNs from the National Library. I got a wee bit tick box happy so there will be: ePub, Kindle, Apple books, PDF, POD paperback, and POD … Continue reading ISBNs, Blurbs, and travel
Take a minute …
A post popped up on Facebook and when I looked at it I thought about how things have changed over the years. Killerbyte launched (it'll be KB's birthday soon) in 2009. By 2009 I'd had numerous short stories published in a variety of ezines, journals, and magazines. So many of my stories were accepted for … Continue reading Take a minute …
