When the phone rings…
We'd just finished dinner and my phone rang. The conversation kinda went like this ...Robbie: The yellow note things, they're a clue that Mac did it, aren't they?Me: They are a clue.Robbie: Did Mac do it?Me: I'm not telling you who did it but it's good you think it's Mac at this point.

No Apologies
Welcome to the first week back in the bookshop after eight weeks at home. It's the first day of the first week. Pretty sure I've already offended people on Facebook by being me, but, you know what? I'm always me, fucking deal with it. And what I say on my own page, is entirely up … Continue reading No Apologies

For starters, ALL the Byte … Continue reading Dear Readers,

So, back into GIMP I went and messed around with Cryptobyte just to see ... this is a first attempt and with … Continue reading Learning stuff!

We have a little something special (and fun) planned for this launch but you'll have to come along to find out what that is. Wasn't sure if I'd be able to organize a launch this side of Christmas but … Continue reading Launch date and venue announcement!
Carry on (Fun)
Another Tuesday rolled around and disappeared. Keeps happening. Thought I'd share something with you today. (Not the delightful cold/flu business that TBH incubated and decided to share with me, you're welcome.) But this: Mo Mhuirnin - it's a little thing on Amazon. It's also now on Smashwords (which means it's available in ePub), yeah, that's … Continue reading Carry on (Fun)
Where’s my tiara? :)
Maybe I should wear a tiara for the book launch? I do believe #ActorKid has a couple. Seriously tempting. 🙂
