I had a plan this weekend. It was an ambitious plan but I think it had potential. What my plan didn't take into account was just how cunning my mind is when it's not on board with the plan! Instead of dragging [Indigo Romeo Lima] over the imaginary finish line like I had planned, I … Continue reading You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Mystery
What day is it?
Sometimes you need to know the day of the week or time of day. When you're writing a novel continuity is everything. You can't have a character cracking on about the moonless night while also dribbling about the brightness of the sun. You can, but, not all at once. Take a break, let your characters … Continue reading What day is it?
All mouth, No trousers.
I'm writing. [Indigo Romeo Lima] is moving along. I'm enjoying it, mostly. Why mostly? Because first-drafts are HARD. I'm not building on anything, I'm creating the foundations and the framing and cladding some of the walls. Some walls will be left in building paper while I write the rest and hope it all comes together! … Continue reading All mouth, No trousers.
Of course!
Seriously, don't know why it didn't immediately occur to me that someone was asking about Databyte when they asked about 'my book'. 🙂 Maybe because it was foremost in my mind in 2014 when it launched? Currently I'm writing the sixth book in a entirely different series set in the same universe (and it annoys … Continue reading Of course!
Old Time Rock & Roll
This is one of those 'if you know you know' blog titles. Could've been 'Against the Wind' but not today. Anywho, a lot of words happening at the moment. [IRL] is moving quite quickly but still too slow for my liking. It's that annoying thing ... I can see it and want to write it … Continue reading Old Time Rock & Roll
[Foxtrot Mike Lima]
This morning I took a copy of [Foxtrot Mike Lima] out of the box on my desk and started reading it. Why?Because I haven't read it yet as a whole finished glorious thing. I've read it between edits. I've read it scene by scene and line by line. I've read it with changing things and … Continue reading [Foxtrot Mike Lima]
What is it about Emily?
If you've been here longer than two minutes then you'll know who Emily is (perhaps?) anyway, moving along, Emily Jones is a character in the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. She enters in Book 2 [Lure the Lie]. As the series progresses she grows like any good character should. I like Emily as a character and … Continue reading What is it about Emily?
Humdinger
Edited!How fab is the word 'humdinger'? I think we should use it more often. Yesterday The Big Thrill zine came out and featured a recommendation for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. How cool is that? (Just click the link have a read then pop back and tell me what you think!) I'm delighted. Writing [FML] felt like … Continue reading Humdinger
The day before.
Tomorrow is the launch event for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. If you pre-ordered a digital copy it should either be on your device or ready to download. I hope you enjoy it. I have a few things I need to do today. 1. Bake the launch cake (it's chocolate) for tomorrow.2. Need to remember to get … Continue reading The day before.
Forever
I've been waiting for this album from Bon Jovi. It does not disappoint. I've included a link to the album on Spotify, at the end of this post. (You're welcome.)I think this could become the music for [Indigo Romeo Lima]. It just might work. I've kinda floated through music since finishing the FBI-Byte Series, nothing … Continue reading Forever
