They seem to be the vacuum cleaner salesmen of the publishing industry. If you don't know what kind of person used to sell vacuum cleaners think car sales person on steroids. They play on insecurities and convince people they need whatever the fuck they are selling and generally whatever it is bears a hefty price … Continue reading Digital marketers?

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
Old Time Rock & Roll
This is one of those 'if you know you know' blog titles. Could've been 'Against the Wind' but not today. Anywho, a lot of words happening at the moment. [IRL] is moving quite quickly but still too slow for my liking. It's that annoying thing ... I can see it and want to write it … Continue reading Old Time Rock & Roll
[Foxtrot Mike Lima]
This morning I took a copy of [Foxtrot Mike Lima] out of the box on my desk and started reading it. Why?Because I haven't read it yet as a whole finished glorious thing. I've read it between edits. I've read it scene by scene and line by line. I've read it with changing things and … Continue reading [Foxtrot Mike Lima]
To write or to have written.
I can tell you right now that my favourite state of being is having a finished first draft sitting there looking like a lump of shite, ready to be formed into a fully fledged story. The joy of knowing the hard part is done and the fun is still to come. I love that. I … Continue reading To write or to have written.
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?
Humdinger
Edited!How fab is the word 'humdinger'? I think we should use it more often. Yesterday The Big Thrill zine came out and featured a recommendation for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. How cool is that? (Just click the link have a read then pop back and tell me what you think!) I'm delighted. Writing [FML] felt like … Continue reading Humdinger
The day before.
Tomorrow is the launch event for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. If you pre-ordered a digital copy it should either be on your device or ready to download. I hope you enjoy it. I have a few things I need to do today. 1. Bake the launch cake (it's chocolate) for tomorrow.2. Need to remember to get … Continue reading The day before.
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
Margaritaville
I've always love Jimmy Buffet songs. This morning Magic played Margaritaville. It's a classic. Pain medication is slowly kicking in this morning. After talking with my Dr yesterday we've gone with regular pain meds to try and get this McWristy situation under control and back to a more managable 6. Lower would be nice but … Continue reading Margaritaville
