Welcome to the weekend. I knew this was going to be a writing weekend - because yesterday morning as I read the last chapter I wrote (a few days ago), I could hear Ellie. I heard the exasperation. I'd gone off script. She was not happy. It happens sometimes and I always fix it because, … Continue reading And it all changed …
Thriller
Friday the 13th
A massive thank you to all the wonderful people who remembered my birthday yesterday (and today for those in the other half of the world). Facebook and Linkedin do a great job of reminding us all! haha Last night was the last full moon of the decade. We did a bit of witchy stuff. Cleansed … Continue reading Friday the 13th
Birthday Week Musings
This time last year my tenth book (Qubyte) was about to launch. A month ago today my eleventh book (Cryptobyte) launched.Could try harder could be my catch phrase.Although I do try hard, I’m just not getting anywhere. That’s frustrating, really frustrating.

Dear Readers,
Seemed like a good title for a blog post ... not sure if it works but hey, you be the judge.

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

“How do you start to write a story?”
Now there's a question and a half. It's something I'm asked fairly frequently and I still don't think I have particularly helpful answer, even after writing 16 novels and countless short stories. Yes, I said, 16. Four still sit on a flashdrive and remain hidden away from the world. Those four were the beginning; my … Continue reading “How do you start to write a story?”
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 …
