Faraway Eyes
Another day has rolled around. Probably a good thing that they keep doing that. 🙂 This morning I tweaked a scene in [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] because I have time before my lovely editor gets into the book. So I added something that was needed and sent off an updated version. I've started on [Foxtrot Mike … Continue reading Faraway Eyes
Why?
The title might stick, it's currently: why? Because why not? Yesterday was a fun day. My brain behaved, always good when that happens. Something to consider in an LEO setting ... intuition, experience, and training. Keep that in mind, for a second or two. Ellie Conway is the main character of my Byte Series. She … Continue reading Why?
End of an era?
Feels like the end of an era. Writers Plot Bookshop is closing and will be online only from Saturday. It was a big part of my life for 7 years and now it's the end. It was a dream and then a reality and now I'm gone and so is the shop. I will be … Continue reading End of an era?

I expected a bit of pushback from Diesel and Patrick. I did not expect Diesel to start treating Dallas like she was his … Continue reading Here’s Dallas …
The thing with being an author …
To be honest it's a pretty fucking cool thing to be but there's a lot to it. Like anything. It's not as simple as writing a story. (Good on you if you actually think writing is easy or ever simple.)You have to write, be published, and be on all the *social media, and constantly be … Continue reading The thing with being an author …
That thing when I can’t …
... think of a title for a blog post. It happens especially on a Sunday morning. 🙂 Last night we had old friends over for a meal and it was a fabulous night. My tiramisu was the 'best yet' by all accounts. I modified the recipe slightly and the modification is now going to be … Continue reading That thing when I can’t …
