If you write like I do and the end rushes towards you, there isn't much choice but to write and keep writing until the finish line. Because I never know what the finish line looks like, that bit is a lot of fun for me. Probably the most fun of the initial first draft phase. … Continue reading When the end rushes towards you …

Dark emotional FBI thriller with a strong female lead.
That's a mouthful of a title. Probably not something you want to say too many times. It's a lot. But, then, so is Ellie Conway. Maybe it works then? Just lately a lot of the scammer 'marketing' and scammer 'bookclub' emails have been rabbiting on about books in the FBI-Byte Series. I'm not sure why. … Continue reading Dark emotional FBI thriller with a strong female lead.
Spy thrillers with humour and heart.
It turns out I am writing the 9th Veronica Tracey Spy/PI novel. I thought maybe I'd take a break and work on something else. I did try. Apparently dropping Ronnie on the side of the road so I can work on a different thing is just as difficult as dropping Ellie Conway off somewhere. We … Continue reading Spy thrillers with humour and heart.
WTF?
Yesterday I learned a few things that gave me pause. (Reads as: they outright pissed me off.)Interference in a situation that is none of the person's business. I firmly believe that everyone should stay in their own fucking lane. In this case, the 'friend' lane.Anywho, I'll sort it out. Had a long talk with my … Continue reading WTF?
Don’t take it for granted.
What is it? I hear you ask. It is, anything and everything, or nothing. That depends on you. The youngest child suggested an idea for a novella today. (Yes, the youngest child is the one who suggested the Fates Entwined novellas, if you recall she hasn't read those yet. Mostly because ME/CFS renders words to … Continue reading Don’t take it for granted.
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?
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.
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
Oh, you’re a prince …
Why didn't you say? That makes all the difference. Said no one with a brain, ever. The scammers are running rampant in the publishing arena. Yeah, still! You'd think they'd give up, right? I guess there are enough people falling for their nonsense that it's lucrative for them. Currently, it's cold calls from "digital marketers". … Continue reading Oh, you’re a prince …
