Thriller
[Indigo Delta Kilo]
Last year I wrote two novels. [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] and [Echo Mike Papa]. Really, I could've taken this year off and launched [Echo Mike Papa] next year. Am I? Hell no.I started a joint project earlier this year then got myself stuck with some rather tricky bomb details for a very large bomb. It's the … Continue reading [Indigo Delta Kilo]
Authorial Doom Spiral
AKA: what happens pre-launch. Twice in the life of a single book, there are times when the brain goes completely feral: the instant you finish a novel … I call it *writers’ trench coat syndrome* when your brain doesn’t know what to do with itself and you are pretty sure nothing makes sense. It’s not … Continue reading Authorial Doom Spiral
Dark emotional FBI thriller with a strong female lead.
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.
Stone cold …
This morning I was creating some graphics. My right index finger was stone cold for nearly half an hour and then for fun it did it four more times. Maybe if I ever get contacted by Pacific Radiology to book an MRI of my wrist we will find out why this shit keeps happening. They've … Continue reading Stone cold …
The things we do.
Every day we do things. Things we don't even think about. We just do them. They're not usually a conscious thought, but learned or repetitive behaviours. Cleaning your teeth for example. It's second nature to most of us because we were conditioned to clean our teeth every day.I was thinking today about the frailty of … Continue reading The things we do.
There’s a blaze of light in every word.
The title is from Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah (In case you didn't recognise the words). The other day I was getting things organised. As I do. I got the final files for [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] loaded to all the platforms. Yay. The plan was do it all now and then just let it sit, knowing everything … Continue reading There’s a blaze of light in every word.
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 …
New work is hard
Actually it's more, new characters are hard. It is a new work and all new characters and it isn't an easy thing to wrap my malfunctioning brain around. There is a huge temptation to grab a familiar face and drop them into the periphery just so I can get a better handle on what's happening. … Continue reading New work is hard
