It's been a week. Usually by Saturday I can tell what sort of week it has been. This one was interesting. We did have our most fascinating bus trip ever yesterday. Neither Freda or I expected to hear the conversation we heard and had to wait until we got off the bus, a full twenty … Continue reading Don’t Stand So Close To Me.

Why?
The title might stick, it's currently: why? Because why not? Yesterday was a fun day. My brain behaved, always good when that happens. Something to consider in an LEO setting ... intuition, experience, and training. Keep that in mind, for a second or two. Ellie Conway is the main character of my Byte Series. She … Continue reading Why?
End of an era?
Feels like the end of an era. Writers Plot Bookshop is closing and will be online only from Saturday. It was a big part of my life for 7 years and now it's the end. It was a dream and then a reality and now I'm gone and so is the shop. I will be … Continue reading End of an era?
Here’s Dallas …

I've been avoiding typing on anything including my phone - just ends up with a lot of backspacing and who wants to be doing that? These nails were supposed to last a day. Well, it's been five days. Anywho, yesterday … Continue reading So that happened …
Destination Anywhere:
You get points if you know the album and bonus points if you've seen the movie. 🙂 Yes, it's Jon Bon Jovi. I've loved this album since it was released. I don't know how many times I've seen the movie ... I own the DVD. I love it. Anywho, it felt like a good album … Continue reading Destination Anywhere:
Writing, Writing, get on with it.
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.
