Two of those things are related. (We'll get to travel shortly.)Today is a blurb day. I wanted to get something together for [Leave a message]. I've applied for the ISBNs from the National Library. I got a wee bit tick box happy so there will be: ePub, Kindle, Apple books, PDF, POD paperback, and POD … Continue reading ISBNs, Blurbs, and travel

Take a minute …
A post popped up on Facebook and when I looked at it I thought about how things have changed over the years. Killerbyte launched (it'll be KB's birthday soon) in 2009. By 2009 I'd had numerous short stories published in a variety of ezines, journals, and magazines. So many of my stories were accepted for … Continue reading Take a minute …
Right first time.
Every time I go to write 'Good morning' my brain says "Good morning mothertruckers."It is a battle to type a simple good morning. Oddly, a few years back it was always 'Good morning Vietnam' that my brain liked to chuck out there. Anywho, how is everyone?Do you know what I completely missed due to sheer … Continue reading Right first time.
Strong coffee and mornings:
Last week was read an eBook week. Smashwords had a storewide sale. Jolly fun and all that. Everything is back to normal now. I noticed that killerbyte was downloaded a fair few times. Welcome to the world of Ellie Conway, new people. Lovely to have you aboard. 🙂 I'm feeling the pull to the new … Continue reading Strong coffee and mornings:
Losing my train of thought …
Walking to the bookshop this morning I had wonderful profound thoughts. I was sure I'd recall them once I arrived and write a gorgeous blog.Readers, that is not what happened! Sigh.I got to work and started writing and loading scheduled Tweets for next week via the bookshop account. Then had an author come in for … Continue reading Losing my train of thought …
Born this way.
Today is a home day. I got halfway to the bookshop but felt like shit so I turned around and walked home. What I thought was hayfever might not be. We'll see.Something cool happened last night. Bestie sent a photo of her partner wearing a Vaporbyte (purple) shirt, and she has one too! So now … Continue reading Born this way.
What does it take?
What does it take to get authors who have their books in our shop to share social media posts we make? It's a serious question because I really want to know what it takes.Clearly, there is something I'm missing. It gets pretty frustrating when a post goes out and no one bothers to share it … Continue reading What does it take?
My patience is at an all-time low
Mostly because for whatever reason my wrist woke me up during the night and just will not quit being super fucking painful. Doesn't matter if I use it or not. Same same. It's annoying AF.Another month before I see the surgeon. Here's hoping he can fix the cartilage tear and the other few things that … Continue reading My patience is at an all-time low
I’ll Be Waiting
It's Tuesday. New Zealand went to RED at midnight on Sunday night. We cancelled our "Inside Quote Marks" event yesterday. Our authors are wonderfully supportive and kind, and all understand that this is how it has to be. I don't think I ever believed we would be able to run this event. I'm not overly … Continue reading I’ll Be Waiting
One step closer.
Today started rough. Last night was a disaster, I got bugger all sleep. That doesn't not make for a fun day, I can assure you. AND THEN ... I took the wrong glasses with me to work. The lighting in the bookshop fucks my migraine brain big time, there is only so much prevention medication … Continue reading One step closer.
