Stand By Me
I've been almost AWOL, I know, remiss. Once upon a time, I would've apologised but I shan't.It's been busy over here. I'm trying to get [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] finished. I've got six weeks and three days to have a book that's ready to go to my lovely editor. Yeah, it can't be the first draft, … Continue reading Stand By Me
“I ain’t gonna be … in the crowd”
Any Bon Jovi fan knows, exactly what words are missing from today's blog title. 🙂 I am listening to Bon Jovi (imagine?) this morning, trying to find some energy for today. I need energy today for another long walk. That's six in a row. I am tired. Anyway, I did get some writing done this … Continue reading “I ain’t gonna be … in the crowd”
Promised Land
No secret that I love me some Elvis. Promised Land is way up there as one of my favourite songs that Elvis sang.Today was a really fun day. Always lovely to have a visit from Anne Barwell, one of our fabulous authors. Then, we had the filming for the Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards. Much … Continue reading Promised Land
How do you write?
Quite the question really. I'm always fascinated by how other authors do their thing. I know how I write. I know how stories come together for me. I know to trust my process because I've learnt to trust how my mind works. (Learnt is the correct word, I'm not American.) Doris was watching me work … Continue reading How do you write?

Just might be what I was looking for …
A few months ago I removed my books from Google Play. Mostly because they were haranguing me about providing ID and wouldn't pay royalties until I did - my ID expired. I couldn't provide ID if I didn't have ID. But I do now. Yay for a 10-year passport. Since removing my books they emailed … Continue reading Just might be what I was looking for …
Blinded by Rainbows
It's been pouring with rain all day here. The type of rain that floods the yard and street. The kind of rain that saturates shoes within minutes. I didn't even get to the bus stop with dry feet. So that was it for me. I refuse to spend the day with wet cold feet. That … Continue reading Blinded by Rainbows
Lookin’ out my back door.
Quite the understatement really. I went down with the flu on Monday, which was and still is my week. Don't know why I expected to be better by now, clearly, I was optimistic. If only that worked. COVID was annoying but this is downright misery. Since getting COVID on May 5th, I have unwittingly opened … Continue reading Lookin’ out my back door.
How’s your weekend?
I'm currently listening to a 70's playlist on Spotify and drinking a Corona - with lemon because I'm out of limes. I've worked out what we're having for dinner. I fancied fish pie but Doris doesn't like it. Gosh, there's a surprise! 🙂 So we're having stuffed potatoes.Think about this ... I stuff potatoes with … Continue reading How’s your weekend?
