For the first time in a long time, I think I will finish my notebook before I finish this book. Usually, I have a few pages left for notes when I do the first read, but, not this time. I don't think I've written more notes than usual. Maybe my notes are messier. We're dipping … Continue reading Temptation, writing, & sunshine.
spy novels with humour
Learning.
We all know I get frustrated and annoyed when books are lack lustre because the author has decided nothing needs to make sense and their readers will read it anyway. It's awesome for both them and their readers. If that's what gets you sales then, go hard.That sounds a lot less stressful than the way … Continue reading Learning.
They’re not just pretty.
So, you know how I'm apparently creating a Visual Bible for the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. Yeah, so easy to make the mistake of thinking you're creating A+ content then end up with a visual bible. 🙂 It occurred to me, that the pictures aren't just pretty, they tell a story and they are a … Continue reading They’re not just pretty.
VT Visual Bible.
Somewhere over the last week I moved from creating A+ content to creating what's becoming a visual bible for the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. How?Well, I wanted to see my version of my characters - and use them, some of them, with some other images on Amazon, right? If you have a look at [Nothing … Continue reading VT Visual Bible.

Today was a creation day. It was also a clean the laundry, clean the cat's playroom (aka the garage), do the washing, organise kitchen drawers, and vacuum day. But mostly it was a creation kind of day. I needed some more graphic novel type images of Ronnie for some A+ content. And then I needed … Continue reading Ronnie.
Procrastination level: expert
Not to brag or anything, but I think I achieved 'expert' level in procrastination this weekend. I know! I'm ready to accept my trophy. Have my speech ready and everything.But what I didn't do this weekend was piss anyone off by referring to the 'safety' on a Glock. Yeah, I'd never do that. But someone … Continue reading Procrastination level: expert
Somebody pour me a drink
It's been a year. I am aware it's not even mid-July but it's been a year. It's a year since Superman's slowly fatal head injury. Six months was fucking insanity. At times, hilarious, but mostly awful. Then the next six months of getting stuff sold, bought, organised. It's also been a year since the home … Continue reading Somebody pour me a drink
Something is coming …
Something is coming out of Upper Hutt. Not loud. Not flashy. Not announced with confetti and balloons. Something quieter than that. And far more dangerous. Politics kills. Secrets kill faster. And in this town, both have a habit of getting personal. I didn’t set out to write a political thriller. I set out to tell … Continue reading Something is coming …
Light reading
This week's light reading comprised of a security report, to be fair, that's not unusual. What fascinated me this week was how close I am to the truth when I'm writing the Veronica Tracey Series. 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
