It amused me …

November 21, 2025 / Cat Connor / Leave a comment

I'm not even sorry I did it. Seriously, if someone is going to send me a "screenshot" of a 5-star review they "left" - do they think I'll be tripping over myself to praise them. Maybe, if it wasn't a set up, it hadn't been written by AI, and if it'd had the correct cover. … Continue reading It amused me …

Beady eyed Wombat.

November 18, 2025 / Cat Connor / Leave a comment

If you've read 'Underneath the Tree' you might recognise the title of this blog as something someone said in the story.But you probably do not know where that comes from. Listen up, it came from an afternoon with the posse. One member was livid over something that had happened and amongst her choice words was … Continue reading Beady eyed Wombat.

Catch me if you can.

September 3, 2025 / Cat Connor / Leave a comment

In the last week or so I've noticed an increase in emails that were AI generated. They're hollow emails. If I've got nothing else to do, I play along for a bit. (Mostly, I have plenty to do, so they don't get any response from me.)One of them went on for ages though. Such fun. … Continue reading Catch me if you can.

Maybe 2k, maybe more.

In an effort to not think about the new normal I have jumped into writing [Echo Mike Papa]. It was not my intention to start another story while [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] is with my editor. But I did. I did and it's fun. It's escapism. In a few weeks My Knight will be home and … Continue reading Maybe 2k, maybe more.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

It's been a trying few weeks.It's tried my patience.It's tried my commitment to coffee and tequila.It's tried my ability to speak without swearing.It's tried my sense of security.It's tried my will to get things done.It's 100% tried to stop my brain working so I can write.It's just fucking trying. But yay, I can put all … Continue reading Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

First up, tell us a bit about yourself.I’m a crime writer and academic. I’m also a proud wife, mother, and grandmother. Although I live in California, I grew up on the US East Coast, so my books are set there.  Favourite genre/s to read or write?Most definitely crime fiction. I’ve been reading in the genre … Continue reading Interrogation file: Margot Kinberg

A day in the life …

March 31, 2025 / Cat Connor / 2 Comments

I've just sat down. Potentially I could spend the next two hours writing. We'll see.How was your Monday?Mine looked, and still looks in some regards, like this:I stumbled out of bed to let the dog out, then back in, and then feed the beasts, and made coffee. While my coffee was brewing I opened all … Continue reading A day in the life …

You taught me why.

November 16, 2024 / Cat Connor / 4 Comments

My first main character was pretty awesome. Not in the very beginning of her life, but as I grew into her and she grew into me. As she taught me to let go and trust that I knew how to do this, she became more like a person and less like a collection of words … Continue reading You taught me why.

Scattered to the wind.

September 30, 2024 / Cat Connor / 1 Comment

After ignoring/deleting 44 people who wanted to be in my LinkedIn network and realising by tomorrow there will be another 44 to delete is starting to feel like it will never end ... it's a constant bombardment of scamming pricks. I am so tired of LinkedIn. Anywho, that's not the only reason I'm here today. … Continue reading Scattered to the wind.
