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 …
Series
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.
Walk right in. Sit right down.
Yesterday was a good news day for our family. Superman has a bed in a care facility in Wellington. Such a relief to know he'll be closer very soon. It's not easy getting a bed at the highest level of care that there is (and that is what he needs). Serious brain injuries at 89 … Continue reading Walk right in. Sit right down.
WTF?
Yesterday I learned a few things that gave me pause. (Reads as: they outright pissed me off.)Interference in a situation that is none of the person's business. I firmly believe that everyone should stay in their own fucking lane. In this case, the 'friend' lane.Anywho, I'll sort it out. Had a long talk with my … Continue reading WTF?
Maybe 2k, maybe more.
In an effort to not think about the new normal I have jumped into writing [Echo Mike Papa]. It was not my intention to start another story while [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] is with my editor. But I did. I did and it's fun. It's escapism. In a few weeks My Knight will be home and … Continue reading Maybe 2k, maybe more.
This will never do.
Yesterday I got through a bunch of edits and suggestions from Margot Kinberg (my much trusted friend). [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] is all the better for it. One of the changes was allowing Nana her voice. Every now and then there are third POV chapters in this series, usually when I don't want to share too … Continue reading This will never do.
What about me?
This week I've been reading [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] and getting it ready for editing and such. I'm reading it as an ePub on my iPad and using the note function to make comments about changes - missing words etc. It's a lot nicer than doing the same thing using my Kindle. This will be the … Continue reading What about me?
Autumn has arrived.
This morning is a clear blue sky autumn day. The kind I love. Crisp and beautiful. I'm sitting having a coffee with a Birman in my lap. She's making typing difficult and she doesn't care. There are worse problems to have. Last night was spent with friends. Laughing. Drinking a little bit. Eating delicious corned … Continue reading Autumn has arrived.
Avenues and alleyways
I'm reading a book. I know, shocker!It's got a main character who has migraine disorder. It's not one of my FBI-Byte Series books. What? 🙂 Where I left off last night the main character had an icepick migraine. (They are evil fuckers but they only last seconds.) So far, I've had every type of migraine … Continue reading Avenues and alleyways
