I haven't heard 'Let it Bleed' in ages so today I'm changing that. (I'll link you to it down the bottom.)It's a dull grey rainy day and the urge to do nothing is high. Yesterday I was a domestic goddess and cleaned the oven, cleaned all the downstairs windows ... all manner of cleaning went … Continue reading Let it Bleed
Am writing
Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep.
Last night I fell asleep reading [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] and had some crazy dreams. It's not the first time I've fallen asleep reading [WTF] but it's the first time I've read it like it is now. Pretty well done. It's exciting reading it as a real (almost) finished book. It came in just over 85k. … Continue reading Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep.
Another look at AI …
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook then you might have seen me say I would share another bio that ChatGPT wrote for me. And I will. Early this evening I had some fun with ChatGPT and got it to write bios for me and for my buddy Pete. We're both pretty sure that … Continue reading Another look at AI …
AI can be fun. Trust me.
Or not. I don't care either way. But, AI is getting pretty good and it's fun to play with. After working (yes, writing) for a few hours this morning I decided I'd go see how ChatGPT was doing. It gets better all the time. Wanna see the results? Yeah, you're going to regardless of whatever … Continue reading AI can be fun. Trust me.
There’s not enough coffee …
Day Light Savings ended. I'm glad it's finished. Now there is a 4-hour time difference between here and Perth instead of the 5 hours we had all summer. It doesn't matter when My Knight is here but it makes quite a difference when he's in Perth. I just made a second pot of coffee. It's … Continue reading There’s not enough coffee …
Synopsis? Blurb? Logline? Tagline?
Because I have seen a lot of people using the words synopsis and blurb as if they are interchangeable, I think it's time for a wee lesson. If you are an author and you don't know the difference, I want to know why? Why haven't you checked? Why haven't you jumped online and perused the … Continue reading Synopsis? Blurb? Logline? Tagline?
What’s the catch?
If you follow me and Pete Turner on Twitter and you haven’t read any of my work and you would like to read something … The 1st 10 people to DM me with an email address will get an email with an ePub attached. No strings. I’m nice like that. (FBI thriller or very Kiwi … Continue reading What’s the catch?
Faraway Eyes
Another day has rolled around. Probably a good thing that they keep doing that. 🙂 This morning I tweaked a scene in [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] because I have time before my lovely editor gets into the book. So I added something that was needed and sent off an updated version. I've started on [Foxtrot Mike … Continue reading Faraway Eyes
Why?
The title might stick, it's currently: why? Because why not? Yesterday was a fun day. My brain behaved, always good when that happens. Something to consider in an LEO setting ... intuition, experience, and training. Keep that in mind, for a second or two. Ellie Conway is the main character of my Byte Series. She … Continue reading Why?
Written in Leaves
It took two years and then some to write this story but now it's a thing. A proper thing. I even went hardback because I can. 🙂 At 38 thousand words it is a novella. Sue and I do not like when people say they've written a novel and it's under 80k. And if it's … Continue reading Written in Leaves
