Welcome to Friday. Turns out I'm getting older and I'm not super thrilled about it. The age thing is okay, I mean, I'm glad I'm not a freaking Zoomer. Imagine? What's not okay is arthritis and not being able to do what I've always done (and taken for granted). So, today I went looking for … Continue reading Just Older

Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself
So a few things this week, early July is a mixed bag with an anniversary that makes me smile despite the origin and an anniversary of an event that tore my life apart. That's enough in the first few days, right? But no, not this year ... now we have Byte Series pens!! Hooray!! (There … Continue reading Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself

KILLERBYTE is 11 today! Unbelievable! I cannot grasp being the author of a book that has turned 11.11 years ago today I celebrated the launch of Killerbyte with family and friends.

Rainy days and Mondays …
How was your weekend? Mine was busy. Writing Group at the bookshop on Saturday which was fun, lively, full of discussion regarding marketing and other horrors.

Eye Of The Tiger
Cannot listen to this song without seeing Jensen Ackles (the Yellow Fever episode) - not a bad thing at all. Anyway, that was the song that greeted me when I turned the radio on this morning. Nice song to start a Monday. :)I did absolutely no writing this weekend - hardly even wrote a text … Continue reading Eye Of The Tiger
Friends in low places
Thank you Garth Brooks for the fantastic song/blog title. Some of you know that I've been struggling for quite sometime with this new book. It's opening 10k has been re-written four times now because I couldn't find my voice and didn't feel comfortable with the POV. Turns out, it's hard leaving my comfort zone and … Continue reading Friends in low places
Made up holiday, anyone?
To be honest we don't really bother about Valentine's - the whole long distance thing makes it hard enough without adding commercial 'holidays' to the mix. (Bad enough that we weren't together for our birthdays and Christmas last year!) But, we're pretty good at appreciating each other every day. :)I know a lot of you … Continue reading Made up holiday, anyone?

Thanks for that gem Aerosmith. I do love it.

I've been hard at it over the last few days, making a lot … Continue reading I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing …
