Kia ora,The week has begun. Well, it’s Sunday, so technically it’s the beginning of the week. So far, it’s all right, nothing to write home about. To be honest, it could try harder. My Knight is recovering from his hip replacement in Perth and I’m here in New Zealand. That is not the ideal situation. Thanks for … Continue reading Dream Weaver

I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday
Bonus points if you recognize the song title and know which album it comes from. I am not sleeping at all well at the moment. Figure it's a whole bunch of things including My Knight having fairly major surgery next week and due to asshats who can't do simple things like - not spread COVID … Continue reading I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday
Just Older
Welcome to Friday. Turns out I'm getting older and I'm not super thrilled about it. The age thing is okay, I mean, I'm glad I'm not a freaking Zoomer. Imagine? What's not okay is arthritis and not being able to do what I've always done (and taken for granted). So, today I went looking for … Continue reading Just Older
Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself
So a few things this week, early July is a mixed bag with an anniversary that makes me smile despite the origin and an anniversary of an event that tore my life apart. That's enough in the first few days, right? But no, not this year ... now we have Byte Series pens!! Hooray!! (There … Continue reading Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself
She Didn’t Do Magic
Tuesday in the bookshop wasn't I thought it would be. Nope. Not at all. When I walked up this morning I had one thought on my mind. There's a scene in Vaporbyte when Ellie recognizes someone in a photo from a bar. And I needed to add a wee sentence. I know I needed to … Continue reading She Didn’t Do Magic

I discovered … Continue reading Time is on my side
When the phone rings…
We'd just finished dinner and my phone rang. The conversation kinda went like this ...Robbie: The yellow note things, they're a clue that Mac did it, aren't they?Me: They are a clue.Robbie: Did Mac do it?Me: I'm not telling you who did it but it's good you think it's Mac at this point. Let me … Continue reading When the phone rings…
Bad Moon Rising
I opened the cupboards yesterday and nodded at the contents, those tins know what's what. For years I've maintained a minimum tinned/dry/whatever food level, why?BECAUSE I LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND. At any minute the earth can throw a fucking fit and up end everything. Has done before, will do again. It seems to quite like … Continue reading Bad Moon Rising
Rainy days and Mondays …
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 …
Eye Of The Tiger
Cannot listen to this song without seeing Jensen Ackles (the Yellow Fever episode) - not a bad thing at all. Anyway, that was the song that greeted me when I turned the radio on this morning. Nice song to start a Monday. :)I did absolutely no writing this weekend - hardly even wrote a text … Continue reading Eye Of The Tiger
