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
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
