The last few months (okay, the whole year ... the last three years) have been annoying writing-wise. It's harder and harder to scratch out the headspace required to get a decent chunk of writing on the screen. Headspace? Yep. That's where the story is held, in my brain with random notes in a notebook. If … Continue reading Writing, Writing, get on with it.

Just Older
Yes, that is a Bon Jovi song. I'll probably put it at the end so you can listen. 🙂 Today is my best friend's birthday. We've known each other longer than 40/45 years ... we have the sweatshirts it's a real thing. Just go with it. She is (and always has been) the sister I … Continue reading Just Older
Promised Land
No secret that I love me some Elvis. Promised Land is way up there as one of my favourite songs that Elvis sang.Today was a really fun day. Always lovely to have a visit from Anne Barwell, one of our fabulous authors. Then, we had the filming for the Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards. Much … Continue reading Promised Land
The struggle is real …
Sometimes the struggle to carve out writing time is painfully difficult. Kinda where I am at the moment. I know I need to finish [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] and I really like the story, it's great fun to write. I just can't seem to force my backside into a chair and get it done. It's so … Continue reading The struggle is real …
Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in. Hmm. I was typing and half the screen slid sideways. I suspect my website is having a moment! Definitely seems that way. Oh well, never mind, how sad. Today was all about the alphabet until I got tired of it. If you've ever put books, already on a shelf, in … Continue reading Welcome to my world
How do you write?
Quite the question really. I'm always fascinated by how other authors do their thing. I know how I write. I know how stories come together for me. I know to trust my process because I've learnt to trust how my mind works. (Learnt is the correct word, I'm not American.) Doris was watching me work … Continue reading How do you write?

Don’t assume you know me
Read some of my books? Good for you. Then you've met SSA Ellie Conway and you're beginning to see how she ticks.Talked to me about anything? No? Then shut your cakehole. FYI: your opinion of my work isn't required and you sure as hell don't know what the motivation for any particular story was. News … Continue reading Don’t assume you know me
If that’s what it takes …
Welcome to Sunday. I'm tired of trying to get answers from Twitter regarding the scheduled posts not posting on my account. So tired of it that I resurrected someone. Kinda weird being able to hear her again, but, that's what needed to happen so I don't get super pissed off at spending hours setting posts … Continue reading If that’s what it takes …
It’s been a minute …
I was thinking it’s been a minute since I’ve given away a fabbo prize pack.What’s better than snuggling up with a book and other goodies in winter?(Clearly, me snuggling up with My Knight would be better, but it’s not about me.)How hard should we make this?Yeah, that’s what I thought.I’ll keep my codes to myself … Continue reading It’s been a minute …
