It's one of those weird days. Kind of disjointed. Not sure why but every now and then days like that appear. This morning I was writing chapter summaries to try and see something I thought I would find in [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra], I sort of found what I was looking for ... turns out my … Continue reading Smoke alarms and random thoughts

A day in the life …
I've just sat down. Potentially I could spend the next two hours writing. We'll see.How was your Monday?Mine looked, and still looks in some regards, like this:I stumbled out of bed to let the dog out, then back in, and then feed the beasts, and made coffee. While my coffee was brewing I opened all … Continue reading A day in the life …

Is it a milestone?
I've reached the age of having my glasses around my neck on a lovely beaded thingy. It's mostly to stop them flying off my face and getting kicked across the ground. They're expensive and I've already got two scuff marks on them. So, glasses keeper it is then. While I was at it, I got … Continue reading Is it a milestone?
Moody blue …
No secret that I love listening to Elvis. Years ago I had Elvis's blue album. An actual blue record. Fabulous! Anywho, today I need to seriously think about writing my speech/talking points for the [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] launch at Upper Hutt Library on August 4th, 6PM. Be there or be square. 🙂 Turns out Ronnie's … Continue reading Moody blue …

I don't know exactly what his prompt was and ChatGPT consistently wants to say my Byte Series is about hackers … Continue reading The things my kids do:

Christchurch, [Leave a message], fun!
Yesterday, [Leave a message] digital versions were released. This joy coincided with an interview in the Big Thrill and that's pretty much all that marked the release of the third Ronnie Tracey novel. No cake. No fanfare. It just happened. 🙂 Currently, we are away and enjoying ourselves. Nothing like being away to really enable … Continue reading Christchurch, [Leave a message], fun!
What does it take?
What does it take to get authors who have their books in our shop to share social media posts we make? It's a serious question because I really want to know what it takes.Clearly, there is something I'm missing. It gets pretty frustrating when a post goes out and no one bothers to share it … Continue reading What does it take?
I’ll Be Waiting
It's Tuesday. New Zealand went to RED at midnight on Sunday night. We cancelled our "Inside Quote Marks" event yesterday. Our authors are wonderfully supportive and kind, and all understand that this is how it has to be. I don't think I ever believed we would be able to run this event. I'm not overly … Continue reading I’ll Be Waiting
