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.

Yes, I'm listening to "Black and Blue", it's one of my favourite Stones albums. The last few days haven't been much fun. Somehow I contracted COVID. Don't know how or when. FYI, you don't want this.

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
Drowning in the deep.
Twitter has been interesting the last few days. My former editor from the now-defunct Rebel ePublishers was tweeting a few of us. Our relationship goes way back to 2009. Jayne Southern is the best editor, she's truly fantastic. She made us all so much better. Her sense of humour and care kept me going more … Continue reading Drowning in the deep.

Take a minute …
A post popped up on Facebook and when I looked at it I thought about how things have changed over the years. Killerbyte launched (it'll be KB's birthday soon) in 2009. By 2009 I'd had numerous short stories published in a variety of ezines, journals, and magazines. So many of my stories were accepted for … Continue reading Take a minute …
