Yesterday, [Leave a message] digital versions were released. This joy coincided with an interview in the Big Thrill and that's pretty much all that marked the release of the third Ronnie Tracey novel. No cake. No fanfare. It just happened. 🙂 Currently, we are away and enjoying ourselves. Nothing like being away to really enable … Continue reading Christchurch, [Leave a message], fun!

And a spider crawls across the ceiling.
Had a magnificent first night away. The Bluebridge crossing was super calm, we watched James Bond in the theatre - No Time To Die. Very much enjoyed it, but, I've always been a Bond fan. Had a lot of Ian Fleming novels when I was a young teen. I'm sure that's no surprise to any … Continue reading And a spider crawls across the ceiling.

Time in a bottle …
13 days until [Leave a Message] launches. Although the hardback and paperback are already live on Amazon - there was no way around that, I wanted author copies for the bookshop. Usually, I get my printing done in Auckland. Keep it all in NZ. But I needed to save some money so I opted to … Continue reading Time in a bottle …

Now the World Wide Web is a Wonderful Thing* — Crime Writer Margot Kinberg

What started out as a research and communication tool for scientists and academicians has become a source for everything from history to recipes to word games to DIY tutorials […]Now … Continue reading Now the World Wide Web is a Wonderful Thing* — Crime Writer Margot Kinberg
(You Want To) Make A Memory
Bear with, the title of this blog is a Bon Jovi song from the Lost Highway album. Pretty sure a few of you knew that. 🙂 Why did I choose it for today's blog? Because I was thinking about the music in the Byte Series. Music reminds me of writing the books and of the … Continue reading (You Want To) Make A Memory

Writing and whatnot
Great title right? Yeah nah! Sometimes titles are hard. Sometimes the title pops right up and just works. Other times it doesn't become apparent until halfway through whatever the thing is and then there are those times when a title seems like mission impossible. Do you know what else is hard?Writing an entire book that … Continue reading Writing and whatnot
