I'll add the song or maybe the whole album at the end of this post. (Yes, it's Bon Jovi - but you knew that didn't you?) It's also the title of a Byte Series short story that is in Raidbyte. The story tagline is: D&D shouldn't be fatal. Undivided comes between Metabyte and Qubyte. It's … Continue reading Undivided

We’ve reached the end …
Of October. 🙂 What'd you think I was talking about?Oh, right [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] ... there might be a finishedish first draft that I am going over and beefing up Crockett while checking that this story makes sense. (Grammarly does not recognise finishedish. Guess that'll be added to the "unique word" count for the week. … Continue reading We’ve reached the end …
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 …
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.

Fingerprint File
You probably know that 'Fingerprint File' is a Rolling Stones song, right? And that it was on the 1974 album It's Only Rock and Roll. It's one of my least favourite songs from that album but I like the lyrics. They work for me today, so, there ya go. Today is another day of mistaken … Continue reading Fingerprint File
It’s about relationships …
I woke up this morning to lots of messages about Ellie Conway. Now, as far as I'm concerned, she is the main character in the Byte Series and my very best imaginary friend. That's it. End of story.For years my website has occupied space here. I've talked about Ellie quite regularly over those years and … Continue reading It’s about relationships …
Long Cool Woman
If you've been here a while you know that, Long Cool Woman is Ellie's song. The reason for this blog post is because of an email I got this morning. I thought, maybe, we'd have a chat about it. Stick around for some writer truths.For almost 20 years, Ellie Conway lived in my head. I … Continue reading Long Cool Woman
It’s the weekend and whatnot
Just for fun, let's imagine I'm not drinking? Yeah, didn't work did it? 🙂 🙂 Surprise ... It's Sunday night I fucking earned this Cab Sav. How, you say? By finishing THE FINAL byte short so I can get this last boxed set sorted. OMG. I know, right? Also, I'm doing something else with it … Continue reading It’s the weekend and whatnot

I figured it'd be about ten by the time I get this written, so, there ya go. :)As many of you are aware, on Friday we had a wonderful event at Upper Hutt Library called: Books with Byte. It was great fun. Books with Byte ends the byte series. We launched Vaporbyte (both versions) because … Continue reading News at 10.
Almost jersey weather!
Part of me is delighted, because last year I knitted AWESOME jerseys but the rest of me is unimpressed because I like summer and very much dislike winter. (And it's coming!) Yesterday I wore my big purple knitted jacket, it was cold enough. Today, I'm working from home so an old hoodie will do the … Continue reading Almost jersey weather!
