If you could plug yourself into a charger or stick your hand on a changing mat and magically re-charge. Well, I think it'd be damn handy. Especially in muggy gross weather. Summer so far is horrible. I'm not a fan. Enough about my dislike of wet weather.I stumbled across something the other day that sounded … Continue reading Wouldn’t it be great …

I Walk The Line
Thanks to Johnny Cash for the title, but, I think we all know I don't walk the line ... I repel over that thing at every opportunity. It's in my genes. I finished teaching for the year. It was fun, as always. I very much hope my students go on and write amazing crime novels. … Continue reading I Walk The Line
Hot Child in the City
It's finally summer. Hooray. Okay, this is the thing, I'm ticked off so you're going to hear about it. Seems fair. Good chance I'm not the only one annoyed so feel free to be pissed right along with me! :)Pet peeve 1: Blogs by non-writers telling people how to write a book and stating shit … Continue reading Hot Child in the City
New books & teaching aids!
I decided to treat myself with some new books for Christmas. One is a paperback from our bookshop, that one is amazing and I am loving it [Sinai Soldiers by Dave Hayward]. Problem with paperbacks is I can't read them them at night. I read on a device at night (kindle or phone). So, I … Continue reading New books & teaching aids!

October is disappearing
I dunno how time seems to be moving so fast ... maybe the universe has had enough of 2020 as well. Seems like I blinked and 11 days went by. We are speeding toward the end of October. If that means we're closer to My Knight being able to come home, then yay! But if … Continue reading October is disappearing
April 10th 2020
KILLERBYTE is 11 today! Unbelievable! I cannot grasp being the author of a book that has turned 11.11 years ago today I celebrated the launch of Killerbyte with family and friends. It was a magnificent night. I think we had South African wine because my publisher then was a South African company called Rebel ePublishers. … Continue reading April 10th 2020
And just like that …
It's a New Year and a new decade. I wonder what the twenties will bring? I've been a published author for a decade and one year, because my first novel was published in 2009. In that time, I've had 12 novels, a couple of novellas, a LOT of short stories (an actual shit-ton), a book … Continue reading And just like that …
