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?
The promised pictures:
Bet that tweaked a few weirdo's imaginations. In case you missed the Facebook post, Insta post, Twitter - many posts, here's the photos from yesterday's Mid Winter Secret Santa opening day at our place. FYI, not an IED. No one died. Also included is the playlist for the curious. Playlist first I think! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4IGegaZamH7fywxbVhHBD1?si=1b322cb37e4d4fc8 Bear … Continue reading The promised pictures:
Trolls are alive and well …
Seems that all it takes to cop abuse is to be a Kiwi author and run a boosted post about a new release. Guess there are some very unhappy Australians out there who enjoy knocking Kiwis for no reason at all. Never mind the people who assume a boosted post for [Leave a message] is … Continue reading Trolls are alive and well …
What’s Up?
You may recognise the title as a song by '4 Non-Blondes', but it will always be 'three dumb blondes' for a couple of us. We drove up the South Island from Christchurch yesterday. Sunny all the way. Rather nice, or it would've been had it not been for the light flickering through trees and doing … Continue reading What’s Up?
Christchurch, [Leave a message], fun!
Yesterday, [Leave a message] digital versions were released. This joy coincided with an interview in the Big Thrill and that's pretty much all that marked the release of the third Ronnie Tracey novel. No cake. No fanfare. It just happened. 🙂 Currently, we are away and enjoying ourselves. Nothing like being away to really enable … Continue reading Christchurch, [Leave a message], fun!
Launch Day!
[Leave a Message] launches today. Amid a fanfare of absolutely bloody nothing. I'm not even at home so it's the quietest launch day ever. Anywho, today is June 1st and [Leave a message] joins its older sisters on the shelf at Writers Plot Bookshop. It's not live as a digital version yet because the rest … Continue reading Launch Day!
And a spider crawls across the ceiling.
Had a magnificent first night away. The Bluebridge crossing was super calm, we watched James Bond in the theatre - No Time To Die. Very much enjoyed it, but, I've always been a Bond fan. Had a lot of Ian Fleming novels when I was a young teen. I'm sure that's no surprise to any … Continue reading And a spider crawls across the ceiling.
Time in a bottle …
13 days until [Leave a Message] launches. Although the hardback and paperback are already live on Amazon - there was no way around that, I wanted author copies for the bookshop. Usually, I get my printing done in Auckland. Keep it all in NZ. But I needed to save some money so I opted to … Continue reading Time in a bottle …
