Rainy days and Mondays …
How was your weekend? Mine was busy. Writing Group at the bookshop on Saturday which was fun, lively, full of discussion regarding marketing and other horrors.

Welcome to 'things I think about on my way to work' Wednesday. There's a chance I do like you. A very good chance. About the only time the answer will be an outright no, is if you are a digital pirate. If you are, you can fuck right off and get your sticky little fingers … Continue reading Do I like you?
It was Crashbyte …
This morning I opened a file called 'Crashbyte' - that's what Vaporbyte was always supposed to be called. Book 12: Crashbyte. Somewhere as I was following the story, (and it happened pretty fast - two chapters in) I realized Crashbyte wasn't going to be book 12. It may not ever be an anything. That's okay, … Continue reading It was Crashbyte …
