If you've been here longer than two minutes then you'll know who Emily is (perhaps?) anyway, moving along, Emily Jones is a character in the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. 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
And just like that …
[Foxtrot Mike Lima] is alive and breathing out in the world. Or I guess it probably seems that way to readers. 🙂 :)I am quite pleased to have the launch behind me. I do enjoy them though. I love talking about writing and whatnot, so that bit is pure fun. The lead up though; the … Continue reading And just like that …
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.
The day before.
Tomorrow is the launch event for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. If you pre-ordered a digital copy it should either be on your device or ready to download. I hope you enjoy it. 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
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.
It’s time for another …
... rant about thievery. You all know where I stand on creatives getting fair pay and not being ripped off by pirate arse-hats. Annoyingly, I think this problem will never be resolved. It's frustrating. It's downright horrible. People need to stop stealing. I wouldn't walk into someone's house and take things that weren't mine but … Continue reading It’s time for another …
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
