I'm not even sorry I did it. Seriously, if someone is going to send me a "screenshot" of a 5-star review they "left" - do they think I'll be tripping over myself to praise them. Maybe, if it wasn't a set up, it hadn't been written by AI, and if it'd had the correct cover. … Continue reading It amused me …
Killerbyte
Every Beat of My Heart.
That's right, the Rod Stewart song is today's blog title. Why? Because I like the song. Also, because it's the title of the first story in Cachebyte. Words have been elusive since I arrived home from Mahau Sound. [FFS] isn't moving along as fast as it did while I was away. It's annoying me. (Of … Continue reading Every Beat of My Heart.
Apple Audio + D2D =
Audio books is what it equals.

The long and the short
As far as book blurbs go, I've tried almost everything. There have been long ones, short ones, the original one from my publisher (a few of them really pissed me off because they gave away too much). I've had blurbs with quotes from other authors. There've been blurbs with a logline or a hook line … Continue reading The long and the short

The bits and pieces you carry in your pockets or handbag, those receipts that tell someone … Continue reading Pocket litter

It's very rare for me to drink this much coffee. Good indication that the germs Freda brought into the house have won. I shall keep … Continue reading When the germs get you …
The things my kids do:
Last week my youngest son (who is about to be an age that doesn't make him very young at all) was playing with ChatGPT after I'd shared some news.This is the result of Josh's tinkering. I don't know exactly what his prompt was and ChatGPT consistently wants to say my Byte Series is about hackers … Continue reading The things my kids do:
New Neighbours
Diesel is watching with interest as new neighbours move in next door. He's being good. He barked a couple of times but a wee stint in a sit/stay on his bed sorted that. Now he's sitting by the ranchslider watching. So far he hasn't seen or heard anyone he recognises as "danger". That hopefully means … Continue reading New Neighbours
