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.
And so it goes …
January is marching on and I'm pretty well over it already. Probably not the greatest start to 2022 to be already over the year. But that's how it is. I could lie and say how glorious the new year is, but it fucking isn't. Never the less good stuff is happening and life moves on. … Continue reading And so it goes …
And It Stoned Me.

Today is a proper summer day, the second consecutive one.It's a writing day for me. But before I disappear … Continue reading And It Stoned Me.
Tuesday.
Yes, it's Tuesday. It's been busy here. No, I've been busy. Not so much the girls. :)Saturday's Crime Writing Session was mostly about characters (also POV and openings), Creating people to populate a novel is a big topic. I fired off quite a few PDF's on Sunday evening, to my students. I felt bad about … Continue reading Tuesday.
Pirates are arseholes, end of story.
Clear enough? If a story has my name on it, then I wrote it, and the copyright belongs to me. No question. And I should be paid for that work.Downloading a story for free is theft.(Unless you got a code from the author or publisher or the story is offered free via a reputable seller. … Continue reading Pirates are arseholes, end of story.

Happy Halloween, if that's your thing. It's not so much mine. Some of my kids do enjoy the Halloween thing. I used to celebrate All Hallow's Eve once upon a time, with a big family dinner and places set for those we've lost (in Wiccan fashion). Now I don't have a table we all fit … Continue reading Octo 31st, 2021
Last Man Standing.
It's a week until The byte Series Volume Four launches. I don't know how to mark that. I've never really done much for the launch of the boxed sets. I do know the first boxed set launched on Halloween so I chose to launch the last boxed set on Halloween. I do have quite a … Continue reading Last Man Standing.
