If you're wondering why I chose this Dan Hill song as my blog title ... I've always loved it. Lucky you! https://open.spotify.com/track/1nAexCn3dPoFSmE7h6P5S7?si=0a80a434baa74763 It's two sleeps until My Knight walks through the door. :)Yesterday I had to battle Amazon just to get author copies of [Leave a message] delivered to NZ from Oz.

(You Want To) Make A Memory
Bear with, the title of this blog is a Bon Jovi song from the Lost Highway album. Pretty sure a few of you knew that. 🙂 Why did I choose it for today's blog? Because I was thinking about the music in the Byte Series. Music reminds me of writing the books and of the … Continue reading (You Want To) Make A Memory
Drowning in the deep.
Twitter has been interesting the last few days. My former editor from the now-defunct Rebel ePublishers was tweeting a few of us. Our relationship goes way back to 2009. Jayne Southern is the best editor, she's truly fantastic. She made us all so much better. Her sense of humour and care kept me going more … Continue reading Drowning in the deep.
Writing and whatnot
Great title right? Yeah nah! Sometimes titles are hard. Sometimes the title pops right up and just works. Other times it doesn't become apparent until halfway through whatever the thing is and then there are those times when a title seems like mission impossible. Do you know what else is hard?Writing an entire book that … Continue reading Writing and whatnot
Take a minute …
A post popped up on Facebook and when I looked at it I thought about how things have changed over the years. Killerbyte launched (it'll be KB's birthday soon) in 2009. By 2009 I'd had numerous short stories published in a variety of ezines, journals, and magazines. So many of my stories were accepted for … Continue reading Take a minute …

Welcome to the world of Ellie Conway, new people. Lovely to have you aboard. 🙂 I'm feeling the pull to the new … Continue reading Strong coffee and mornings:
Not in the biggest hurry …
I really am not in a big hurry to get to the bookshop today. Mostly because I'm tired. I've been tired for months. I think it's just the times we are living in causing tiredness. A lot of people are tired. People are sick in all directions and dropping like flies.I've tested negative twice now … Continue reading Not in the biggest hurry …
Born this way.
Today is a home day. I got halfway to the bookshop but felt like shit so I turned around and walked home. What I thought was hayfever might not be. We'll see.Something cool happened last night. Bestie sent a photo of her partner wearing a Vaporbyte (purple) shirt, and she has one too! So now … Continue reading Born this way.
And so it goes …
January is marching on and I'm pretty well over it already. Probably not the greatest start to 2022 to be already over the year. But that's how it is. I could lie and say how glorious the new year is, but it fucking isn't. Never the less good stuff is happening and life moves on. … Continue reading And so it goes …
Thank you for loving me.
https://youtu.be/h6-Y1WIkaYY Yes, I know I usually add the video at the end, but this song I particularly like and it says most of what I want to say, to the people in my life who show up when I need them. It's New Years Eve.I have to say this year was hugely better than 2020. … Continue reading Thank you for loving me.
