Walking to the bookshop this morning I had wonderful profound thoughts. I was sure I'd recall them once I arrived and write a gorgeous blog.Readers, that is not what happened! Sigh.I got to work and started writing and loading scheduled Tweets for next week via the bookshop account. Then had an author come in for … Continue reading Losing my train of thought …
Mystery
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 …
I’ll Be Waiting
It's Tuesday. New Zealand went to RED at midnight on Sunday night. We cancelled our "Inside Quote Marks" event yesterday. Our authors are wonderfully supportive and kind, and all understand that this is how it has to be. I don't think I ever believed we would be able to run this event. I'm not overly … Continue reading I’ll Be Waiting
One step closer.
Today started rough. Last night was a disaster, I got bugger all sleep. That doesn't not make for a fun day, I can assure you. AND THEN ... I took the wrong glasses with me to work. The lighting in the bookshop fucks my migraine brain big time, there is only so much prevention medication … Continue reading One step closer.
Thank you for loving me.

For The Good Times.

In My Secret Life
Thanks to Leonard Cohen for the blog title (yes, there will be a link down below to this track). It's probably no secret to anyone here that I grew up with Leonard Cohen loving parents. So, I'm a wee bit familiar with his music and poems. Anywho, moving right along. The reason I chose 'In … Continue reading In My Secret Life
Ashes Turn to Stone.
Welcome to Monday evening. The blog title is a song by Kevin Costner and Modern West, in case you were wondering. I'll see if I can find a link for you. 🙂 (Scroll down it's there.)Today was a mixed bag. It's freezing, grey, and dreary, after a wonderfully spring-like weekend. I did get some writing … Continue reading Ashes Turn to Stone.
It’s My Life
Today is launch day for [Lure the lie] ... if you've been hiding in the dark and haven't heard about this book, stick around. 🙂 [Lure the lie] is the second kiwi set spy/PI book in what might be a set of three ... well, I'm writing the third now so definitely three, so far. … Continue reading It’s My Life
Bring me some water.
It's Friday.[Lure the lie] launches tomorrow. Worldwide. More importantly, the paperbacks launch here tomorrow. About that ... there were a few hiccups in Auckland and the books left the printer yesterday on Aramex. FFS. I can track them and they're nearly in Wellington ... but it's Aramex and they give zero fucks about hitting their … Continue reading Bring me some water.
