Big thanks to Leonard Cohen for today's blog title. Yes, I will link you to the song at the end of this post. Leonard Cohen has a special place in my heart.

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 …
Nov 25
It's a month until Christmas. I think I might be almost ready for Christmas. Almost. Maybe. Let's not dwell on it. This week I've been writing. I decided to get stuck into the second novella about the sisters. Yesterday while I was enjoying the process I realised that I actually need a name for the … Continue reading Nov 25
Bite my head off.
Thank The Rolling Stones for today's title.I really like that song. In fact, I am enjoying 'Hackney Diamonds'. I did have reservations but I'm pleased I hopped into Apple Music and bought it the other week. I'll put the album in via Spotify at the end of this post. I opened the "Scattered on Cloth" … Continue reading Bite my head off.

Everything is hairy
All the animals are shedding like it's their job. The joy of spring time, I guess. Today was a planting day. Six tomato plants and two giant pumpkins. The pumpkins are named Peter and Petra. I may or may not name the tomatoes. We also planted mint. (When I say 'we' it was Geoff. I … Continue reading Everything is hairy

The Tide Is High
There's been a lot of writing happening here over the last few weeks. So much so that this new book will be a complete "first draft" sometime in October. I was aiming for late November. It's gone places I didn't think it would. There is more than one surprise in this story. I love when … Continue reading The Tide Is High
Whatcha doing now?
Found myself asking a character that ^^ question this morning. Ben was behaving less like Ben I thought but then I realised I'd never let him take over before, he was always seen through Ronnie or Crockett's eyes. Maybe Ben was just being Ben. 🙂 If so, it's a markedly different side of him and … Continue reading Whatcha doing now?
