Seemed like a good title for a blog post ... not sure if it works but hey, you be the judge. Since I've been away taking very good care of #MyKnight while he recovers from a hip replacement, I've actually done a few things. I know, I was surprised too. For starters, ALL the Byte … Continue reading Dear Readers,

Everything should sparkle
Seriously, it should. Not just because I just saw a glitter helmet on the telly (watching American Pickers with My Knight). I've been a sparkle lover my whole life. And you all know the joy when my daughter told me I could have GLITTER on my book covers. 🙂 As it stands now, two of … Continue reading Everything should sparkle
Total hip replacement
Welcome to a random post about our life right now! This morning I was supervising exercises ... looked painful and there are a lot of exercises to do.But then if you think about it - it's going to be painful. When you have a bone cut off and a metal shaft jammed down your femur … Continue reading Total hip replacement
Launch date and venue announcement!
Today I found out that the launch will be at Upper Hutt Central Library. Woo hoo! We have a little something special (and fun) planned for this launch but you'll have to come along to find out what that is. Wasn't sure if I'd be able to organize a launch this side of Christmas but … Continue reading Launch date and venue announcement!
The learning curve
This morning I was thinking about all the changes in the last 8 months. Some are good and definitely for the better, some sparked a steep learning curve, and the last one was an expensive lesson. Didn't need that. At all. Without going into detail: Lesson learnt and sometimes (professionally) change isn't a good thing. … Continue reading The learning curve

Got a rep rugby game to watch at 9. Grandson 2 is playing. Last time our surname was in an Upper Hutt rep team it … Continue reading Drinking coffee with Jimmy Buffet …
It was Crashbyte …
This morning I opened a file called 'Crashbyte' - that's what Vaporbyte was always supposed to be called. Book 12: Crashbyte. Somewhere as I was following the story, (and it happened pretty fast - two chapters in) I realized Crashbyte wasn't going to be book 12. It may not ever be an anything. That's okay, … Continue reading It was Crashbyte …
Life versus writing
Funny how things change. Used to be writing that was my happy place. Now it's Perth. I have little time for writing and am struggling to find a reason to carve that time out. Finding writing time has been increasingly difficult for the last four years. The only real writing time I get is when … Continue reading Life versus writing

Last Chance Train
Blog title is a song from "100,000,000 Bon Jovi fans can't be wrong". You know what makes an author happy? Come on, you do. You got this ... say it with me, "REVIEWS." There ya go. I knew you had it. I would be ridiculously delighted if you'd leave a review of the Byte Books … Continue reading Last Chance Train
