How was your weekend? Mine was busy. Writing Group at the bookshop on Saturday which was fun, lively, full of discussion regarding marketing and other horrors. The rest of the weekend involved tweaking scenes, fiddling with the opening chapter of the new book (because I'd quite like that to be at the end of Vaporbyte), … Continue reading Rainy days and Mondays …

Then, Charlie messaged me about lunch. Marvelous! So it was out to lunch with Pip, Charlie, and Mrs Harris (somethings just stick). Jolly … Continue reading Friday Dec 20
And it all changed …
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 …

Dear Readers,
Seemed like a good title for a blog post ... not sure if it works but hey, you be the judge. Since I've been away taking very good care of #MyKnight while he recovers from a hip replacement, I've actually done a few things. I know, I was surprised too. For starters, ALL the Byte … Continue reading Dear Readers,
