If that’s what it takes …
Welcome to Sunday. I'm tired of trying to get answers from Twitter regarding the scheduled posts not posting on my account. So tired of it that I resurrected someone. Kinda weird being able to hear her again, but, that's what needed to happen so I don't get super pissed off at spending hours setting posts … Continue reading If that’s what it takes …

Blinded by Rainbows
It's been pouring with rain all day here. The type of rain that floods the yard and street. The kind of rain that saturates shoes within minutes. I didn't even get to the bus stop with dry feet. So that was it for me. I refuse to spend the day with wet cold feet. That … Continue reading Blinded by Rainbows
Lookin’ out my back door.
Quite the understatement really. I went down with the flu on Monday, which was and still is my week. Don't know why I expected to be better by now, clearly, I was optimistic. If only that worked. COVID was annoying but this is downright misery. Since getting COVID on May 5th, I have unwittingly opened … Continue reading Lookin’ out my back door.

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.
ISBNs, Blurbs, and travel
Two of those things are related. (We'll get to travel shortly.)Today is a blurb day. I wanted to get something together for [Leave a message]. I've applied for the ISBNs from the National Library. I got a wee bit tick box happy so there will be: ePub, Kindle, Apple books, PDF, POD paperback, and POD … Continue reading ISBNs, Blurbs, and travel
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 …
