That title felt slight ominous as I wrote it. And I could hear Sid Vicious in my head so even more ominous. Oh well. That's how it is some days.This weekend and today have been marvellous for writing. I got back on track on Saturday and charged ahead yesterday and today. From 70K on Saturday … Continue reading And now the end is near:

It’s that time of year again.
It's a busy time in our family, there are a lot of birthdays in December for us. And there is the birthday rule ... no decorations up until after my birthday. (We've broken it a few times but my oldest son keeps the tradition alive with his family.)My patience is at an all time low. … Continue reading It’s that time of year again.
It amused me …
I'm not even sorry I did it. Seriously, if someone is going to send me a "screenshot" of a 5-star review they "left" - do they think I'll be tripping over myself to praise them. Maybe, if it wasn't a set up, it hadn't been written by AI, and if it'd had the correct cover. … Continue reading It amused me …
Beady eyed Wombat.
If you've read 'Underneath the Tree' you might recognise the title of this blog as something someone said in the story.But you probably do not know where that comes from. Listen up, it came from an afternoon with the posse. One member was livid over something that had happened and amongst her choice words was … Continue reading Beady eyed Wombat.
Disgruntled character?
Or perhaps he's about to act on his annoyance and become a terrorist? Who knows?Obviously not me. Anyway, I was writing ... then I thought I'd just have a quick glance over my backwards chapter outlines. Which if you know me, you know they're really not outlines at all but things I think are important … Continue reading Disgruntled character?
And on we go …
I was wandering through Substack this morning and not enjoying it at all. Far too much about the nonsense in the US. Far far too much politics for my liking. I want to escape from the bullshit not have it hit me in the face constantly. It's not that I don't care, it's that I … Continue reading And on we go …
Walk right in. Sit right down.
Yesterday was a good news day for our family. Superman has a bed in a care facility in Wellington. Such a relief to know he'll be closer very soon. It's not easy getting a bed at the highest level of care that there is (and that is what he needs). Serious brain injuries at 89 … Continue reading Walk right in. Sit right down.
Ch-ch-changes.
Magic hi jinx this morning. It disappears then returns. Guess that's why they called the station, Magic? And now my HomePods have turned the volume up themselves. So, weird. Anywho, [EMP] is moving along and I'm very much enjoying this first draft (so far). I like stories that have multiple facets - they entertain me … Continue reading Ch-ch-changes.
WTF?
Yesterday I learned a few things that gave me pause. (Reads as: they outright pissed me off.)Interference in a situation that is none of the person's business. I firmly believe that everyone should stay in their own fucking lane. In this case, the 'friend' lane.Anywho, I'll sort it out. Had a long talk with my … Continue reading WTF?
In the shadows of foreign intelligence, every choice is deadly.
How's that for a blog post title? 🙂 Yesterday, after I went and picked my new reading glasses and prescription sunglasses, I decided to mess around with taglines and the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. The intent was to create some new graphics. I did that. I did 3 per book and then McWristy and stupid … Continue reading In the shadows of foreign intelligence, every choice is deadly.
