Not so long ago, I decided to revamp my teaching text. And I quickly realised I'd left things out that needed to be in. Oops. It's not the end of the world. Most of the missing information became class notes and handouts. Easy peasy. I spent some time over the weekend and all Monday morning … Continue reading There’s notes and more notes!

Every Beat of My Heart.
That's right, the Rod Stewart song is today's blog title. Why? Because I like the song. Also, because it's the title of the first story in Cachebyte. Words have been elusive since I arrived home from Mahau Sound. [FFS] isn't moving along as fast as it did while I was away. It's annoying me. (Of … Continue reading Every Beat of My Heart.

Hey ho silver lining.
I've been writing quite a bit lately. [FFS] is coming along nicely. I had to go back and write three new chapters in the beginning to satisfy my gut feeling that it didn't start early enough and add a few other things that I knew I needed to mention, early. I did that. It works … Continue reading Hey ho silver lining.
Autumn has arrived.
This morning is a clear blue sky autumn day. The kind I love. Crisp and beautiful. I'm sitting having a coffee with a Birman in my lap. She's making typing difficult and she doesn't care. There are worse problems to have. Last night was spent with friends. Laughing. Drinking a little bit. Eating delicious corned … Continue reading Autumn has arrived.
Magic formula?
I've been a bit hopeless at blogging (and also writing) for the last few weeks. Possibly a few things causing apathy. Sometimes it's all too much, and to be honest, it feels like a waste of time. As much as I love writing and enjoy the VT Series characters, I'd also like proper sales. That … Continue reading Magic formula?
Is it worthwhile?
Talk about a question that is wide open! 🙂 Anyway, I was thinking about boxed sets - are they boxed sets though? Or are they an omnibus? I created two 'boxed sets' for the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI series - two books each. Quite fun to make really. I suppose I should do the same for … Continue reading Is it worthwhile?

Avenues and alleyways
I'm reading a book. I know, shocker!It's got a main character who has migraine disorder. It's not one of my FBI-Byte Series books. What? 🙂 Where I left off last night the main character had an icepick migraine. (They are evil fuckers but they only last seconds.) So far, I've had every type of migraine … Continue reading Avenues and alleyways
