As far as book blurbs go, I've tried almost everything. There have been long ones, short ones, the original one from my publisher (a few of them really pissed me off because they gave away too much). I've had blurbs with quotes from other authors. There've been blurbs with a logline or a hook line … Continue reading The long and the short

I learnt something …
So this week, I learnt something about myself that I didn't know (or didn't realise I knew?) but explains so much. When I read I don't see words I see images, we all knew that. I can see the words if I want to but that means I read each one and they don't create … Continue reading I learnt something …
Yellowstone
I just watched the season four finale, I think I'm going to need a minute. That was epic television. Not sure how to go from that to regular programming. It was a welcome distraction from life. 🙂 News today said the US recorded over 1 million COVID cases in a single day. I find it … Continue reading Yellowstone
Gearing up …
Counting down the days until I teach my crime writing course for the second time. It's pretty darn exciting. I love teaching crime. It's so much fun. Hopefully, they'll learn a lot and enjoy the experience. Also, I won't be masked while teaching because I have someone who lip-reads in the class.Anywho, today the research … Continue reading Gearing up …
Blindspot cross-over
Howdy. I've been binge watching Blindspot on Neon. I knew I'd love it. It's 100% up my alley. What I didn't realise was how much would be familiar to me, tech and also story wise. Clearly the writers had some serious fun with this series. Anyway, I was watching the other day and someone said … Continue reading Blindspot cross-over

Today is September 25th. It's the cancelled VAPORBYTE launch day. Tonight there will be tequila. 🙂 Apart from the disappointment of the year (and it really has been back to back disappointment and learning to roll with the punches) ... I'm working on two new projects.I know, two. My head is shaking as well.One is … Continue reading Into the Great Wide Open
She put the boy back in cowboy.
I'm not sure I can play music any louder today. Apparently, the album I've decided I need to hear right now is "Lost Highway" by Bon Jovi.And yes, I do know the words to every song. No doubt the neighbors are unimpressed. This week, I need this so there ya go.Music is like a blanket … Continue reading She put the boy back in cowboy.
Sympathy for the Devil
Monday morning was spent moving furniture, because it is impossible to get all the seed husks and small feathers the birds drop, without moving EVERYTHING. So, the kitchen was pretty well gutted. It echoed mid-way through the process, which was a bit freaky!Turns out I'm quite allergic to seed husks and dust from seeds. Big … Continue reading Sympathy for the Devil

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
