I'm writing. [Indigo Romeo Lima] is moving along. I'm enjoying it, mostly. Why mostly? Because first-drafts are HARD. I'm not building on anything, I'm creating the foundations and the framing and cladding some of the walls. Some walls will be left in building paper while I write the rest and hope it all comes together! … Continue reading All mouth, No trousers.
Kiwi story
Of course!
Seriously, don't know why it didn't immediately occur to me that someone was asking about Databyte when they asked about 'my book'. 🙂 Maybe because it was foremost in my mind in 2014 when it launched? Currently I'm writing the sixth book in a entirely different series set in the same universe (and it annoys … Continue reading Of course!

Old Time Rock & Roll
This is one of those 'if you know you know' blog titles. Could've been 'Against the Wind' but not today. Anywho, a lot of words happening at the moment. [IRL] is moving quite quickly but still too slow for my liking. It's that annoying thing ... I can see it and want to write it … Continue reading Old Time Rock & Roll

I've read it scene by scene and line by line. I've read it with changing things and … Continue reading [Foxtrot Mike Lima]
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.

She enters in Book 2 [Lure the Lie]. As the series progresses she grows like any good character should. I like Emily as a character and … Continue reading What is it about Emily?
Humdinger
Edited!How fab is the word 'humdinger'? I think we should use it more often. Yesterday The Big Thrill zine came out and featured a recommendation for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. How cool is that? (Just click the link have a read then pop back and tell me what you think!) I'm delighted. Writing [FML] felt like … Continue reading Humdinger
The joy of Spotify.
Today is the day before. It's been a mixed bag. Mostly a bit crap to be honest. First cake failed. Second cake isn't great. I don't why I've gone from making amazing cakes to shit but there you go. But, I just discovered that Spotify works with AirPlay and therefore I can hear my playlists … Continue reading The joy of Spotify.

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.
