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.
There’s notes and more notes!
Not so long ago, I decided to revamp my teaching text. And I quickly realised I'd left things out that needed to be in. Oops. It's not the end of the world. Most of the missing information became class notes and handouts. Easy peasy. I spent some time over the weekend and all Monday morning … Continue reading There’s notes and more notes!
Every Beat of My Heart.
That's right, the Rod Stewart song is today's blog title. Why? Because I like the song. Also, because it's the title of the first story in Cachebyte. Words have been elusive since I arrived home from Mahau Sound. [FFS] isn't moving along as fast as it did while I was away. It's annoying me. (Of … Continue reading Every Beat of My Heart.
Avenues and alleyways
I'm reading a book. I know, shocker!It's got a main character who has migraine disorder. It's not one of my FBI-Byte Series books. What? 🙂 Where I left off last night the main character had an icepick migraine. (They are evil fuckers but they only last seconds.) So far, I've had every type of migraine … Continue reading Avenues and alleyways

Kia ora,Welcome to Christmas Eve in New Zealand. It started with a text to a friend who has a Christmas Eve birthday. I was first to say Happy Birthday so that's a win. (Also a perk of living in the future.)The rest of the day involved dessert making, washing, and trying out two new styling … Continue reading Christmas Eve 2024
[Nothing happens here]
I'd been meaning to pop into that manuscript and fiddle with a few things so this morning I finally did! You know how there are always those annoying little things that everyone misses until the book is published? Yeah them. (The my that should've been me and other annoyances, like American spelling!)New versions are now … Continue reading [Nothing happens here]
A sneaky favourite?
I know us authors are supposed to love our most recent work the most and crack on about it all the time. I do enough of that, I think. Cast your minds back to 2009, that's when my first two novels were released by Rebel ePublishers (at the time they were a South African publishing … Continue reading A sneaky favourite?
December 2024
December started pretty quickly, don't you think? October was the slowest month on record and November flew by! I decided I want to finish the third novella in the Fates Entwined: Spellbound Bookshop Trilogy - this month. I had written one chapter prior to that decision.Why wouldn't I add more stress to December?2K a day … Continue reading December 2024
You taught me why.
My first main character was pretty awesome. Not in the very beginning of her life, but as I grew into her and she grew into me. As she taught me to let go and trust that I knew how to do this, she became more like a person and less like a collection of words … Continue reading You taught me why.
