You ain’t seen nothing yet.
I had a plan this weekend. It was an ambitious plan but I think it had potential. What my plan didn't take into account was just how cunning my mind is when it's not on board with the plan! Instead of dragging [Indigo Romeo Lima] over the imaginary finish line like I had planned, I … Continue reading You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Real Life
The title is a Bon Jovi song. If you haven't heard it then have a listen. I'll put a link to the Terrorbyte Spotify playlist at the end of this post. (Real life is in that playlist.) Last night I went back to the collection of 'western' crime stories I've been reading. There is a … Continue reading Real Life
What is it about Emily?
If you've been here longer than two minutes then you'll know who Emily is (perhaps?) anyway, moving along, Emily Jones is a character in the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. She enters in Book 2 [Lure the Lie]. As the series progresses she grows like any good character should. I like Emily as a character and … Continue reading What is it about Emily?
Forever
I've been waiting for this album from Bon Jovi. It does not disappoint. I've included a link to the album on Spotify, at the end of this post. (You're welcome.)I think this could become the music for [Indigo Romeo Lima]. It just might work. I've kinda floated through music since finishing the FBI-Byte Series, nothing … Continue reading Forever
FFS
The title pretty much sums up the last few weeks. Nothing has gone to plan. First COVID, then more annoyance. The lawyer emailed the papers but didn't want me to do electronic signatures. So I to had print legal documents and had no ink. $65 later I had ink. (I can bill them, right? Even … Continue reading FFS
The thing with the stuff.
So, here's the thing I've been grappling with for-fucking-ever ... getting enough sales to do more than break even (although hey, that would be great). It's the never-ending story. The never-ending author story. Someone suggested creating exclusive content for readers. Brilliant. Okay, I thought. I can do that. And do that, I did. I created … Continue reading The thing with the stuff.

Such fun. Also, Scattered on Cloth is … Continue reading Maybe Tomorrow
Posters, rain, and writing.
Odd blog title but then I often have odd blog titles. 🙂 It's bucketing down here. Full on pouring with rain and parts of the yard are flooding due to the very dry ground. It can't absorb the water fast enough. Anywho, this morning I created the hardback cover for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. Do you … Continue reading Posters, rain, and writing.
Crime writing? Hell yes!
I am super delighted to be teaching my crime writing course starting Saturday (17th of Feb). I have re-vamped my textbook and hopefully it will arrive on Tuesday/Wednesday. I've ordered some of copies of the workbook and they should arrive at the same time. (Perhaps.)What I forgot to add to my textbook are my AI … Continue reading Crime writing? Hell yes!
