Or not. I don't care either way. But, AI is getting pretty good and it's fun to play with. After working (yes, writing) for a few hours this morning I decided I'd go see how ChatGPT was doing. It gets better all the time. Wanna see the results? Yeah, you're going to regardless of whatever … Continue reading AI can be fun. Trust me.

There’s not enough coffee …
Day Light Savings ended. I'm glad it's finished. Now there is a 4-hour time difference between here and Perth instead of the 5 hours we had all summer. It doesn't matter when My Knight is here but it makes quite a difference when he's in Perth. I just made a second pot of coffee. It's … Continue reading There’s not enough coffee …
Synopsis? Blurb? Logline? Tagline?
Because I have seen a lot of people using the words synopsis and blurb as if they are interchangeable, I think it's time for a wee lesson. If you are an author and you don't know the difference, I want to know why? Why haven't you checked? Why haven't you jumped online and perused the … Continue reading Synopsis? Blurb? Logline? Tagline?
What’s the catch?
If you follow me and Pete Turner on Twitter and you haven’t read any of my work and you would like to read something … The 1st 10 people to DM me with an email address will get an email with an ePub attached.

Faraway Eyes
Another day has rolled around. Probably a good thing that they keep doing that. 🙂 This morning I tweaked a scene in [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] because I have time before my lovely editor gets into the book. So I added something that was needed and sent off an updated version. I've started on [Foxtrot Mike … Continue reading Faraway Eyes

(I won't be beaten by a story.)And now you can … Continue reading Gotta Have A Reason
Why?
The title might stick, it's currently: why? Because why not? Yesterday was a fun day. My brain behaved, always good when that happens. Something to consider in an LEO setting ... intuition, experience, and training. Keep that in mind, for a second or two. Ellie Conway is the main character of my Byte Series. She … Continue reading Why?
Written in Leaves
It took two years and then some to write this story but now it's a thing. A proper thing. I even went hardback because I can. 🙂 At 38 thousand words it is a novella. Sue and I do not like when people say they've written a novel and it's under 80k. And if it's … Continue reading Written in Leaves
End of an era?
Feels like the end of an era. Writers Plot Bookshop is closing and will be online only from Saturday. It was a big part of my life for 7 years and now it's the end. It was a dream and then a reality and now I'm gone and so is the shop. I will be … Continue reading End of an era?
Here’s Dallas …
January ended with a new family member. Doris has her kitten!We didn't think we'd be adding to the menagerie so soon but the opportunity arose and along came little Dallas. (Tortoiseshell Birman.) I expected a bit of pushback from Diesel and Patrick. I did not expect Diesel to start treating Dallas like she was his … Continue reading Here’s Dallas …
