Yep, [Foxtrot Mike Lima] is closing in on the finish line. Looks like a finished first draft is going to be this week not the end of October at all. Definitely coming in well before my original thoughts of late November. Joyful! I am very much enjoying writing this book.I have said that for every … Continue reading Nearly there!

80k and there’s more to come!
At the beginning of the year I did not think I'd be able to launch [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] in August let alone write [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. Thankfully with excellent care from Habit Health I did launch [WTF] and I did start writing [FML] ... early on it was in very carefully managed blocks of a … Continue reading 80k and there’s more to come!
When the germs get you …
Yesterday I drank so many cups of tea I was beginning to feel waterlogged. This morning I'm on my second pot of plunger coffee because I cannot face anymore tea. It's very rare for me to drink this much coffee. Good indication that the germs Freda brought into the house have won. I shall keep … Continue reading When the germs get you …
The Tide Is High
There's been a lot of writing happening here over the last few weeks. So much so that this new book will be a complete "first draft" sometime in October. I was aiming for late November. It's gone places I didn't think it would. There is more than one surprise in this story. I love when … Continue reading The Tide Is High
What ever I said …
The last few days have been intense writing days. Almost as intense as the wind storm yesterday and last night, it took out power in various places throughout the region. Great fun. Discovered I have no candles, so, we shall go candle shopping. Weird that I don't have any. Whatever. I'll get some so we … Continue reading What ever I said …
Don’t you remember?
I'm quite focused on writing at the moment. My brain is starting to work at its normal pace, there are a lot of balls in the air and no notes to keep me on track. Why'? Because it happened suddenly. The notes, scenes, I'd hand written are no longer relevant. It's not what I thought … Continue reading Don’t you remember?
When will you be mine?
Last night was another crappy nights sleep but while I was not sleeping I discovered a story thread (in my mind) that I think I'm going to explore. Has a little to do with foreshadowing but not what anyone would expect. Anywho, I'm going to see how far it goes and what happens. This is … Continue reading When will you be mine?
Moody blue …
No secret that I love listening to Elvis. Years ago I had Elvis's blue album. An actual blue record. Fabulous! Anywho, today I need to seriously think about writing my speech/talking points for the [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] launch at Upper Hutt Library on August 4th, 6PM. Be there or be square. 🙂 Turns out Ronnie's … Continue reading Moody blue …

Exciting right?I haven't done a physical launch for this series at all, so, I'm excited.

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 …
