It took two years and then some to write this story but now it's a thing. A proper thing. I even went hardback because I can. 🙂 At 38 thousand words it is a novella. Sue and I do not like when people say they've written a novel and it's under 80k. And if it's … Continue reading Written in Leaves

Things I have learnt.
If you are away from something for two months and don't miss it, it's time for a change. You all know I was away from the bookshop for two months. I did not miss it. It's not that I didn't miss interacting with authors - that part I did miss. I very much enjoy catching … Continue reading Things I have learnt.

Yes, that is a Bon Jovi song. I'll probably put it at the end so you can listen. 🙂 Today is my best friend's birthday. We've known each other longer than 40/45 years ... we have the sweatshirts it's a real thing. Just go with it. She is (and always has been) the sister I … Continue reading Just Older
The struggle is real …
Sometimes the struggle to carve out writing time is painfully difficult. Kinda where I am at the moment. I know I need to finish [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] and I really like the story, it's great fun to write. I just can't seem to force my backside into a chair and get it done. It's so … Continue reading The struggle is real …

How’s your weekend?

I fancied fish pie but Doris doesn't like it. Gosh, there's a surprise! 🙂 So we're having stuffed potatoes.Think about this ... I stuff potatoes with … Continue reading How’s your weekend?
What’s Up?
You may recognise the title as a song by '4 Non-Blondes', but it will always be 'three dumb blondes' for a couple of us. We drove up the South Island from Christchurch yesterday. Sunny all the way. Rather nice, or it would've been had it not been for the light flickering through trees and doing … Continue reading What’s Up?

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.

I might've been a tad quiet this last week. It wasn't on purpose but things are happening and life is getting busy. As it does. :)Let's recap ... 1. 37 sleeps until My Knight walks through the door!! You have no idea how much we are looking forward to being under the same roof. We've … Continue reading Escape
