For months I've been looking at one particular cover option. I really like it BUT I feel like this book needs more red. So, with that in mind, I played with red. Now I like both. One is striking in its simplicity, the other is in-your-face red. I've got a proof arriving next week in … Continue reading Covers …

When the end rushes towards you …
If you write like I do and the end rushes towards you, there isn't much choice but to write and keep writing until the finish line. Because I never know what the finish line looks like, that bit is a lot of fun for me. Probably the most fun of the initial first draft phase. … Continue reading When the end rushes towards you …
Inhabited by the story.
There's stages of writing for me. Many stages. Until I have a good number of chapters written, it's a free for all. Seriously, I couldn't tell you what the story was about at that point, could go anywhere. I just follow my characters through their world. Then things start to settle, sort of, I still … Continue reading Inhabited by the story.

But someone … Continue reading Procrastination level: expert

Such fun! Let's just say that my bad actors are indeed a threat to our security. I knew that already, … Continue reading Light reading
Long walk off a short plank:
Quite pleased with the direction of [Indigo Delta Kilo] at this point. I can see the next few scenes (as video in my brain as usual) so that's good. The title of this post came about because Crockett said it and I haven't heard that phrase for a long time. Probably the last time I … Continue reading Long walk off a short plank:
If you could read my mind …
You’d be terrified if someone could read your mind. You’d be terrified if you read mine.Not because of the secrets, though, let’s be honest, there are a few, but because of the sheer chaos of it.Half-formed thoughts. Fragments. Scenes with no beginning. Dialogue with no context. It would look like nonsense. And yet … somewhere in … Continue reading If you could read my mind …
