[Foxtrot Mike Lima] is alive and breathing out in the world. Or I guess it probably seems that way to readers. 🙂 :)I am quite pleased to have the launch behind me. I do enjoy them though. I love talking about writing and whatnot, so that bit is pure fun. The lead up though; the … Continue reading And just like that …
Book launch
The joy of Spotify.
Today is the day before. It's been a mixed bag. Mostly a bit crap to be honest. First cake failed. Second cake isn't great. I don't why I've gone from making amazing cakes to shit but there you go. But, I just discovered that Spotify works with AirPlay and therefore I can hear my playlists … Continue reading The joy of Spotify.
The day before.
Tomorrow is the launch event for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. If you pre-ordered a digital copy it should either be on your device or ready to download. I hope you enjoy it. I have a few things I need to do today. 1. Bake the launch cake (it's chocolate) for tomorrow.2. Need to remember to get … Continue reading The day before.
Forever
I've been waiting for this album from Bon Jovi. It does not disappoint. I've included a link to the album on Spotify, at the end of this post. (You're welcome.)I think this could become the music for [Indigo Romeo Lima]. It just might work. I've kinda floated through music since finishing the FBI-Byte Series, nothing … Continue reading Forever
The cake
As I sit at my desk and type this, a block of white fondant is sitting on the kitchen bench. I had thoughts about making some cake toppers for the [Foxtrot Mike Lima] launch cake. I got out the container of gel colours and my very cool edible ink/colour pens, and some modelling tools. I … Continue reading The cake
The long and the short
As far as book blurbs go, I've tried almost everything. There have been long ones, short ones, the original one from my publisher (a few of them really pissed me off because they gave away too much). I've had blurbs with quotes from other authors. There've been blurbs with a logline or a hook line … Continue reading The long and the short
Hit the Road Jack
I've always loved Ray Charles and especially Hit the Road Jack. You better believe I badly sing along with the backup singers. Who doesn't? Anywho, I spent all yesterday reading. I barely moved from my spot on the couch until almost 4PM when I had finished the final proofread and making any stupid little changes … Continue reading Hit the Road Jack
Saturday, May 18th
Yes, the date is the title for a reason. It's the date of the 'Badness by the Bushlands' Ngaio Marsh event at Upper Hutt central library. I haven't done a Ngaio event for a few years. Many reasons - mostly because I was away when they were scheduled or they were too hard for me … Continue reading Saturday, May 18th

No big surprise when I say I'm writing at the moment (I don't mean right this second, silly but I am so ...)Anywho, [IRL] is coming along nicely with a few big surprises thrown in to keep me on my toes. Such fun. Also, Scattered on Cloth is … Continue reading Maybe Tomorrow
Do you believe in magic?
There is a kind of magic that happens when I'm writing. Words appear on the page and they make sense, if that isn't magic I don't know what is. 🙂 I'm getting ready for the launch of [Foxtrot Mike Lima], you might've read something about that, there are a few things that I need to … Continue reading Do you believe in magic?
