No secret that I love listening to Elvis. Years ago I had Elvis's blue album. An actual blue record. Fabulous! Anywho, today I need to seriously think about writing my speech/talking points for the [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] launch at Upper Hutt Library on August 4th, 6PM. Be there or be square. 🙂 Turns out Ronnie's … Continue reading Moody blue …
Book launch
Can I just …
You all know it was release day on Friday, right? [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] is out there in the world fending for itself. Pretty exciting. I think it should be release weekend though, not just day. I mean when something takes nearly a year to write then you've got all the editing (and your nobtastic editor) … Continue reading Can I just …

In 7 days [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] lands on devices all over the show. What fun that will be! I'm really looking forward to you all being able to read this story. For clarification, I was going to add to the front matter: Based on true events. But I forgot. Thing is some of it is … Continue reading 7 Days
Life’s Been Good
Thank Joe Walsh for the title. I'll include the playlist I'm listening to at the end. 🙂 Delighted to say that the first parcel of [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] books arrived this morning. Considering the utter hell I went through trying to get Amazon to accept they had a fault on their end and to fix … Continue reading Life’s Been Good
Aimless walking:
I don't do well without an objective. Today I should be going for a walk (it's good for my brain) but I can't decide where to go. The park isn't far enough and I have no desire to get wet feet from the grass. I don't do aimless walking well. I need a destination and … Continue reading Aimless walking:

Release day for "Written In Leaves"I honestly didn't see this day coming because I didn't think I'd finish that novella. But I did. (I won't be beaten by a story.)And now you can … Continue reading Gotta Have A Reason
The thing with being an author …
To be honest it's a pretty fucking cool thing to be but there's a lot to it. Like anything. It's not as simple as writing a story. (Good on you if you actually think writing is easy or ever simple.)You have to write, be published, and be on all the *social media, and constantly be … Continue reading The thing with being an author …
Trolls are alive and well …
Seems that all it takes to cop abuse is to be a Kiwi author and run a boosted post about a new release. Guess there are some very unhappy Australians out there who enjoy knocking Kiwis for no reason at all. Never mind the people who assume a boosted post for [Leave a message] is … Continue reading Trolls are alive and well …
