Another day has rolled around. Probably a good thing that they keep doing that. 🙂 This morning I tweaked a scene in [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] because I have time before my lovely editor gets into the book. So I added something that was needed and sent off an updated version. I've started on [Foxtrot Mike … Continue reading Faraway Eyes

Why?
The title might stick, it's currently: why? Because why not? Yesterday was a fun day. My brain behaved, always good when that happens. Something to consider in an LEO setting ... intuition, experience, and training. Keep that in mind, for a second or two. Ellie Conway is the main character of my Byte Series. She … Continue reading Why?
Written in Leaves
It took two years and then some to write this story but now it's a thing. A proper thing. I even went hardback because I can. 🙂 At 38 thousand words it is a novella. Sue and I do not like when people say they've written a novel and it's under 80k. And if it's … Continue reading Written in Leaves
More coffee is needed.
It's a day. The difference is that I got the email about "Read an eBook week" that is in March on Smashwords. I usually sign up. No doubt I will over the next few days. The thing is ... is it worthwhile giving away the first two Byte Series books and the first Veronica Tracey … Continue reading More coffee is needed.
Hello, I Love You
Thank the Doors for today's blog title. One of my favourite Doors songs (there are many). The North Island is rather wet and wild at present. Cyclone Gabrielle is doing her bit to make sure we won't forget this summer. It is dangerous out, so don't go out. Just don't. We already have one firefighter … Continue reading Hello, I Love You
Things I have learnt.
If you are away from something for two months and don't miss it, it's time for a change. You all know I was away from the bookshop for two months. I did not miss it. It's not that I didn't miss interacting with authors - that part I did miss. I very much enjoy catching … Continue reading Things I have learnt.
Here’s Dallas …
January ended with a new family member. Doris has her kitten!We didn't think we'd be adding to the menagerie so soon but the opportunity arose and along came little Dallas. (Tortoiseshell Birman.) I expected a bit of pushback from Diesel and Patrick. I did not expect Diesel to start treating Dallas like she was his … Continue reading Here’s Dallas …
Some Nights
The only reason F.U.N's "Some Nights" is today's blog title is that Doris has been singing it this morning while she was getting ready to go out. Now it's stuck in my head. Thought I'd share the love, you're welcome.The end of January is almost here. I'll be back at the bookshop on Feb 1st. … Continue reading Some Nights
The thing with being an author …
To be honest it's a pretty fucking cool thing to be but there's a lot to it. Like anything. It's not as simple as writing a story. (Good on you if you actually think writing is easy or ever simple.)You have to write, be published, and be on all the *social media, and constantly be … Continue reading The thing with being an author …
That thing when I can’t …
... think of a title for a blog post. It happens especially on a Sunday morning. 🙂 Last night we had old friends over for a meal and it was a fabulous night. My tiramisu was the 'best yet' by all accounts. I modified the recipe slightly and the modification is now going to be … Continue reading That thing when I can’t …
