Odd blog title but then I often have odd blog titles. 🙂 It's bucketing down here. Full on pouring with rain and parts of the yard are flooding due to the very dry ground. It can't absorb the water fast enough. Anywho, this morning I created the hardback cover for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. Do you … Continue reading Posters, rain, and writing.
Am writing
Crime writing? Hell yes!
I am super delighted to be teaching my crime writing course starting Saturday (17th of Feb). I have re-vamped my textbook and hopefully it will arrive on Tuesday/Wednesday. I've ordered some of copies of the workbook and they should arrive at the same time. (Perhaps.)What I forgot to add to my textbook are my AI … Continue reading Crime writing? Hell yes!
Pocket litter
I know, odd title. Bear with. As we trundle toward the launch of [Foxtrot Mike Lima] and while my wonderful editor is working her butt off, I started thinking about 'pocket litter'.Pocket litter is exactly what it sounds like. The bits and pieces you carry in your pockets or handbag, those receipts that tell someone … Continue reading Pocket litter
She lied to the FBI.
I am tired. Really tired. Was trying to read that book (we've talked about it before) but it's driving me crazy. When I read, I see images and video. I don't see words I see what the words create. And I love reading, except sometimes when an author does something really silly and I see … Continue reading She lied to the FBI.
Am I teaching this month?
Only time will tell. I very much hope I am because I LOVE LOVE teaching crime writing. It's right up there as one of my favourite things. And that reminds me I want to go through my text book (because I made myself one so I didn't have to carry bundles of notes), and tweak … Continue reading Am I teaching this month?
What the actual fuck Elly/Ellie Conway!
The more things change the more they stay the same springs to mind. Today has been trying to say the least. I am livid but trying not to be because I don't have proof and haven't read the offending book yet. I will be reading it when it arrives on Tuesday. It cost me $38 … Continue reading What the actual fuck Elly/Ellie Conway!
Long skirts …
I know, that is an odd title. Might just be because I'm wearing a long summery skirt or there could be more to it. It's summer here. Shorts are called for most of the time. For years I've worn cut-offs and not summer shorts and it is way too humid these days for denim. Usually … Continue reading Long skirts …
Waiting …
Some days are waiting days.Currently I'm waiting for the dog ranger to come and make us safe again by removing a dangerous dog from the neighbourhood. We shall see if that happens or not. I hope it does. I'd quite like to bring our big red bin in from the street but none of us … Continue reading Waiting …

Jan 1st, 2024
Another year rolled around. My cards were frighteningly positive. Not a blip to be seen. Not quite sure what to make of that. So I'll leave it alone.(Clearly they weren't talking about my wrist. It decided to rock in with a 9/10 on the pain scale. So that's fun, said no one fucking ever. It's … Continue reading Jan 1st, 2024
