For the first time in a long time, I think I will finish my notebook before I finish this book. Usually, I have a few pages left for notes when I do the first read, but, not this time. I don't think I've written more notes than usual. Maybe my notes are messier. We're dipping … Continue reading Temptation, writing, & sunshine.

Learning.
We all know I get frustrated and annoyed when books are lack lustre because the author has decided nothing needs to make sense and their readers will read it anyway. It's awesome for both them and their readers. If that's what gets you sales then, go hard.That sounds a lot less stressful than the way … Continue reading Learning.
Peekaboo
So, I'm reading this book ... guys, we have been here so many times ...I do not think a character needs to 'peek' on every page. That could just be me. But, I've started counting because there are so many instances and it's not confined to one particular character. They're all at it. So many … Continue reading Peekaboo
[FFS] launch day!
What a very busy time the last four months have been but we made. We landed here on [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] launch day! Today came with a big plumbing bill, so that was fun. If you've wanted to start reading my work - now's good. I could do with the sales because today's was the … Continue reading [FFS] launch day!
Some days a title is just too hard.
It's true. Not a book title, those I enjoy coming up with. I'm talking about a blog post title. Today it's just too much. Anywho, onward. Because I did a quick print format for [Echo Mike Papa] yesterday, I thought maybe someone would be interested in how I do that and what I've learned over … Continue reading Some days a title is just too hard.
It’s that time of year again.
It's a busy time in our family, there are a lot of birthdays in December for us. And there is the birthday rule ... no decorations up until after my birthday. (We've broken it a few times but my oldest son keeps the tradition alive with his family.)My patience is at an all time low. … Continue reading It’s that time of year again.

Walk right in. Sit right down.
Yesterday was a good news day for our family. Superman has a bed in a care facility in Wellington. Such a relief to know he'll be closer very soon. It's not easy getting a bed at the highest level of care that there is (and that is what he needs). Serious brain injuries at 89 … Continue reading Walk right in. Sit right down.
Home again.
Right, so, here's the thing. I rushed down to Blenheim on Tuesday morning because Superman was discovered unconscious at home (on Moetapu Bay Road in Mahau Sound) not fun for anyone! It took the fire brigade and ambulance to get him out because the driveway is too difficult for ambulances when the ground is sodden. … Continue reading Home again.
