Yes, I'm listening to "Black and Blue", it's one of my favourite Stones albums. The last few days haven't been much fun. Somehow I contracted COVID. Don't know how or when. FYI, you don't want this. Even triple vaxxed, you don't want this. Had an email today from someone who has been asked to interview … Continue reading Hot Stuff

ISBNs, Blurbs, and travel
Two of those things are related. (We'll get to travel shortly.)Today is a blurb day. I wanted to get something together for [Leave a message]. I've applied for the ISBNs from the National Library. I got a wee bit tick box happy so there will be: ePub, Kindle, Apple books, PDF, POD paperback, and POD … Continue reading ISBNs, Blurbs, and travel
The BS neighbours
How was your Tuesday? This is how mine was:Home sick.Not-Neighbours bullshit kicked off about 9am.And carried on with even more losers turning up during the morning. Of course, Bog Mouth doesn't want to argue but argues constantly with Stupid Ben. She also low-key accused Stupid Ben of making the child sick because "she wasn't sick … Continue reading The BS neighbours
Road to nowhere.
Another week zapped by and here we are looking at another Saturday. I was supposed to be teaching crime writing today. It should've been the first lesson. But, Omicron has fucked that. About 40 classes were cancelled for Omicron related reasons. 😦 I get it though. To be honest with the muppet protest in the … Continue reading Road to nowhere.

Still playing around with potential blurbs.Ronnie’s speciality is finding people.Crockett’s skill is problem-solving.Ben’s strength is in gathering intelligence.All three are drawn into a potential crisis by a single word message. Exodus. It takes them off the grid and drops them into a situation involving a missing intelligence officer and a sudden death. The circumstances surrounding … Continue reading [Leave a message]
January is over.
Can't say January was particularly good so I'm hoping Feb will be an improvement. Although, I did finish [Leave a message] in Jan so it wasn't all shit. We're still in the middle of neighbour hell or a war zone. Every day it feels more and more like a war zone. We're waiting for the … Continue reading January is over.
I’ll Be Waiting
It's Tuesday. New Zealand went to RED at midnight on Sunday night. We cancelled our "Inside Quote Marks" event yesterday. Our authors are wonderfully supportive and kind, and all understand that this is how it has to be. I don't think I ever believed we would be able to run this event. I'm not overly … Continue reading I’ll Be Waiting
And so it goes …
January is marching on and I'm pretty well over it already. Probably not the greatest start to 2022 to be already over the year. But that's how it is. I could lie and say how glorious the new year is, but it fucking isn't. Never the less good stuff is happening and life moves on. … Continue reading And so it goes …
Who shot Crockett?
🙂 Did anyone shoot Crockett? You'll find out when [Leave a message] launches around about the middle of 2022. If he survives without a scratch I'll be very surprised. So will you now. 🙂 Anywho, I had a dream last night that wouldn't quit. I woke at one point to turn the fan off and … Continue reading Who shot Crockett?
Christmas is over.
In some ways, I'm glad to see the back of it for another year. It's a day I don't particularly enjoy. There's a lot of cooking and cleaning involved, and then a lot of clean-up. I enjoy having the kids home, that bit is pretty awesome but the rest of it is long and tiring. … Continue reading Christmas is over.
