Kia ora,Welcome to Christmas Eve in New Zealand. It started with a text to a friend who has a Christmas Eve birthday. I was first to say Happy Birthday so that's a win. (Also a perk of living in the future.)The rest of the day involved dessert making, washing, and trying out two new styling … Continue reading Christmas Eve 2024

A sneaky favourite?
I know us authors are supposed to love our most recent work the most and crack on about it all the time. I do enough of that, I think. Cast your minds back to 2009, that's when my first two novels were released by Rebel ePublishers (at the time they were a South African publishing … Continue reading A sneaky favourite?
Too much writing
Is there such a thing? I think there might be. Feels like I've written an awful lot this week because I have. I'm tired. Rather, Brian brain is tired. I'm just kinda annoyed really. Can't really pin it on anything in particular - it's a culmination of lots of things. So many fucking things. Best … Continue reading Too much writing

I'm back from Tauranga and family time with my oldest daughter. It was my first time in Tauranga and suffice to say I was underwhelmed by the hill they call Mount Maunganui. Seriously, The Mount? Yes, there are pretty beaches though.Anywho, was good to be with Bex and her family. Now I'm home and it's … Continue reading Welcome home!
