Do you believe in magic?
There is a kind of magic that happens when I'm writing. Words appear on the page and they make sense, if that isn't magic I don't know what is. 🙂 I'm getting ready for the launch of [Foxtrot Mike Lima], you might've read something about that, there are a few things that I need to … Continue reading Do you believe in magic?
There’s a warm wind blowing …
We are one-step closer to the physical launch of [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. Would've been nicer if the courier hadn't jammed a parcel that really was a bit big, rigid, and hard to grab into the letterbox. Instructions were clear on the bag "Leave by front door" ... had a feeling they'd take the easy road … Continue reading There’s a warm wind blowing …
The first flower
This morning the large camellia tree outside my bedroom window has a tui in it. That means the first flowers have opened. The tui love the camellia flowers. I thought I heard a tui yesterday and thought the flowers would open soon. The next birds to visit the camellia will be the korimako. Korimako are … Continue reading The first flower

What’s a proof?
Easy, it's a mock-up of the final book. See, easy?Its purpose is to check the formatting, check the story, check the cover, and make sure everything is where it should be. It is ALMOST the final product. Almost, but it's NOT for sale yet and it's not had its last minute tweaks.Some of you know … Continue reading What’s a proof?
The race is on …
Currently a proof from Amazon and a proof from Draft2Digital are winging their way to me. This morning it seemed like the D2D proof would win but now it looks like the Amazon one might be in the lead. One is coming from Sydney (Amazon) the other from Melbourne (D2D). It's an exciting race, to … Continue reading The race is on …
Anywho, that’s done.
Nau mai, haere mai.Welcome.So, some of you know I've been battling Amazon to get a proof copy, actually it's two proofs of two different titles. I did win but the cost to my sanity was high. It's starting to feel like they discriminate against New Zealanders. Uh huh. Not kidding. If they didn't then they … Continue reading Anywho, that’s done.
