That's a mouthful of a title. Probably not something you want to say too many times. It's a lot. But, then, so is Ellie Conway. Maybe it works then? Just lately a lot of the scammer 'marketing' and scammer 'bookclub' emails have been rabbiting on about books in the FBI-Byte Series. I'm not sure why. … Continue reading Dark emotional FBI thriller with a strong female lead.

Spy thrillers with humour and heart.
It turns out I am writing the 9th Veronica Tracey Spy/PI novel. I thought maybe I'd take a break and work on something else. I did try. Apparently dropping Ronnie on the side of the road so I can work on a different thing is just as difficult as dropping Ellie Conway off somewhere. We … Continue reading Spy thrillers with humour and heart.
We’re having a time.
It's neither good nor bad but it is frustrating. Just when you think something looks good - reality hits - and it turns to shit. Such fun. Anywho, on we go, until we find a balance/compromise we can live with. Currently the options are limited. Not everything is up for compromise. 🙂 Did you enjoy … Continue reading We’re having a time.
I had questions …
Some days make you shake your head. Shit happens and stuff goes sideways and you don't really grasp how it could happen. Everyone has days like that, right? Well, folks, let me tell you a tale about Friday the 13th. I went off to work at 8:30 this morning (extra shift), knowing that my author … Continue reading I had questions …
Where to now?
This week feels a tad confused. My days are screwy. It'll even out. Meanwhile, I've had to move things around to make everything work. So everything is a day late! Anywho, that's not what this post is about. I have a question for Pages users. Have you tried 'Proofread'? If so, what did you think? … Continue reading Where to now?
It’s all coming together now:
The stress and craziness that's been my life from July 7th - is almost over. By the end of this month I will be able to relax and breathe. Superman would be able to as well, if he knew where he was and what had to happen to keep him safe. He doesn't. He never … Continue reading It’s all coming together now:
Some days a title is just too hard.
It's true. Not a book title, those I enjoy coming up with. I'm talking about a blog post title. Today it's just too much. Anywho, onward. Because I did a quick print format for [Echo Mike Papa] yesterday, I thought maybe someone would be interested in how I do that and what I've learned over … Continue reading Some days a title is just too hard.
Writer Trench Coat Syndrome.
If you've written a book then you know once you write The End a very odd thing happens in your brain. I thought I might not be the only person who would benefit from a little look at Writer Trench Coat Syndrome. (Bear with this is my 26th go-round with the oddness that happens once … Continue reading Writer Trench Coat Syndrome.
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.
