We all know I get frustrated and annoyed when books are lack lustre because the author has decided nothing needs to make sense and their readers will read it anyway. It's awesome for both them and their readers. If that's what gets you sales then, go hard.That sounds a lot less stressful than the way … Continue reading Learning.

Light reading
This week's light reading comprised of a security report, to be fair, that's not unusual. What fascinated me this week was how close I am to the truth when I'm writing the Veronica Tracey Series. Such fun! Let's just say that my bad actors are indeed a threat to our security. I knew that already, … Continue reading Light reading

[FFS] launch day!
What a very busy time the last four months have been but we made. We landed here on [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] launch day! Today came with a big plumbing bill, so that was fun. If you've wanted to start reading my work - now's good. I could do with the sales because today's was the … Continue reading [FFS] launch day!
Authorial Doom Spiral

It’s not … Continue reading Authorial Doom Spiral

Maybe if I ever get contacted by Pacific Radiology to book an MRI of my wrist we will find out why this shit keeps happening. They've … Continue reading Stone cold …

The big shift.
There was a big shift this week. Doris and I moved into our new house. And it occurred to me that people don't saying 'shifting house' much these day. They move. Kiwi's mostly shifted back in the day. I think I like shifting better. Moving sounds like you've picked the house up and popped it … Continue reading The big shift.
Frank and me.
Tonight Doris and I went to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the St James theatre. We had seats in the third row. Yes, the third row. Yes, it was very loud - at times. No, we will not sit in the 3rd row again. (A 32 and 33) Just because it was so … Continue reading Frank and me.
The things we do.
Every day we do things. Things we don't even think about. We just do them. They're not usually a conscious thought, but learned or repetitive behaviours. Cleaning your teeth for example. It's second nature to most of us because we were conditioned to clean our teeth every day.I was thinking today about the frailty of … Continue reading The things we do.
