We all know I get frustrated and annoyed when books are lack lustre because the author has decided nothing needs to make sense and their readers will read it anyway. It's awesome for both them and their readers. If that's what gets you sales then, go hard.That sounds a lot less stressful than the way … Continue reading Learning.

Procrastination level: expert
Not to brag or anything, but I think I achieved 'expert' level in procrastination this weekend. I know! I'm ready to accept my trophy. Have my speech ready and everything.But what I didn't do this weekend was piss anyone off by referring to the 'safety' on a Glock. Yeah, I'd never do that. But someone … Continue reading Procrastination level: expert
Not long now.
[Echo Mike Papa] releases Friday the 31st of July. (Maybe the 30th for some platforms - don't ask.) Anywho, I had a thought and I ran it past Robbie and Admin Bubbles and then Doris. We are in agreement. Friday the 31st there will be a little bit of a shindig at our place. A … Continue reading Not long now.
Writing …
I am writing [Indigo Delta Kilo]. While I was walking home in the rain this morning, I was thinking about the story. It occurred to me that I needed to create some tech. (I know, again!) The little tiny device that is in use in the story isn't alone. It's part of something much bigger … Continue reading Writing …
Trees, drains, & fun times.
Since becoming a home owner in late March - it's been busy here. First were the sewer drain issues. Two weeks after moving in we discovered we needed all the sewer drains replaced. Jeremy (from Jason Brown) bought us a few months by pulling metres of roots out of the pipes. [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] launched … Continue reading Trees, drains, & fun times.
Long walk off a short plank:
Quite pleased with the direction of [Indigo Delta Kilo] at this point. I can see the next few scenes (as video in my brain as usual) so that's good. The title of this post came about because Crockett said it and I haven't heard that phrase for a long time. Probably the last time I … Continue reading Long walk off a short plank:
If you could read my mind …
You’d be terrified if someone could read your mind. You’d be terrified if you read mine.Not because of the secrets, though, let’s be honest, there are a few, but because of the sheer chaos of it.Half-formed thoughts. Fragments. Scenes with no beginning. Dialogue with no context. It would look like nonsense. And yet … somewhere in … Continue reading If you could read my mind …
[Indigo Delta Kilo]
Last year I wrote two novels. [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] and [Echo Mike Papa]. Really, I could've taken this year off and launched [Echo Mike Papa] next year. Am I? Hell no.I started a joint project earlier this year then got myself stuck with some rather tricky bomb details for a very large bomb. It's the … Continue reading [Indigo Delta Kilo]
Spy thrillers with humour and heart.
It turns out I am writing the 9th Veronica Tracey Spy/PI novel. I thought maybe I'd take a break and work on something else. I did try. Apparently dropping Ronnie on the side of the road so I can work on a different thing is just as difficult as dropping Ellie Conway off somewhere. We … Continue reading Spy thrillers with humour and heart.
The things we do.
Every day we do things. Things we don't even think about. We just do them. They're not usually a conscious thought, but learned or repetitive behaviours. Cleaning your teeth for example. It's second nature to most of us because we were conditioned to clean our teeth every day.I was thinking today about the frailty of … Continue reading The things we do.
