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.

What is it about Emily?
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?
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
Red Red Wine
Some days you just aren't equipped for the news that lands on you. I'm finding it challenging and I'm old (not older than dirt mind, but I'm not 21). On Saturday evening we got some news that was shocking, surprising, and horrendous. Yeah, that kind of news. It has layers. Meanwhile, the rest of the … Continue reading Red Red Wine
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
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
