I have a few things I need to do today. 1. Bake the launch cake (it's chocolate) for tomorrow.2. Need to remember to get … Continue reading The day before.

Forever
I've been waiting for this album from Bon Jovi. It does not disappoint. I've included a link to the album on Spotify, at the end of this post. (You're welcome.)I think this could become the music for [Indigo Romeo Lima]. It just might work. I've kinda floated through music since finishing the FBI-Byte Series, nothing … Continue reading Forever
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
FFS
The title pretty much sums up the last few weeks. Nothing has gone to plan. First COVID, then more annoyance. The lawyer emailed the papers but didn't want me to do electronic signatures. So I to had print legal documents and had no ink. $65 later I had ink. (I can bill them, right? Even … Continue reading FFS
The cake
As I sit at my desk and type this, a block of white fondant is sitting on the kitchen bench. I had thoughts about making some cake toppers for the [Foxtrot Mike Lima] launch cake. I got out the container of gel colours and my very cool edible ink/colour pens, and some modelling tools. I … Continue reading The cake
The thing with the stuff.
So, here's the thing I've been grappling with for-fucking-ever ... getting enough sales to do more than break even (although hey, that would be great). It's the never-ending story. The never-ending author story. Someone suggested creating exclusive content for readers. Brilliant. Okay, I thought. I can do that. And do that, I did. I created … Continue reading The thing with the stuff.
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
Living Proof
The new Bon Jovi single is out. I'm looking forward to the album. Anywho, that's not what this is about. 🙂 We got back on Thursday night from a fantastic holiday in Rarotonga. I don't know when I last laughed that much. There was a LOT of laughter. It rained, I think everyday. And we … Continue reading Living Proof
Hit the Road Jack
I've always loved Ray Charles and especially Hit the Road Jack. You better believe I badly sing along with the backup singers. Who doesn't? Anywho, I spent all yesterday reading. I barely moved from my spot on the couch until almost 4PM when I had finished the final proofread and making any stupid little changes … Continue reading Hit the Road Jack
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 …
