Magic hi jinx this morning. It disappears then returns. Guess that's why they called the station, Magic? And now my HomePods have turned the volume up themselves. So, weird. Anywho, [EMP] is moving along and I'm very much enjoying this first draft (so far). I like stories that have multiple facets - they entertain me … Continue reading Ch-ch-changes.

WTF?
Yesterday I learned a few things that gave me pause. (Reads as: they outright pissed me off.)Interference in a situation that is none of the person's business. I firmly believe that everyone should stay in their own fucking lane. In this case, the 'friend' lane.Anywho, I'll sort it out. Had a long talk with my … Continue reading WTF?
Catch me if you can.
In the last week or so I've noticed an increase in emails that were AI generated. They're hollow emails. If I've got nothing else to do, I play along for a bit. (Mostly, I have plenty to do, so they don't get any response from me.)One of them went on for ages though. Such fun. … Continue reading Catch me if you can.
Research fun.
'Every lie has a consequence. Every truth is a risk.'That is a tagline for [Lure the lie] (Veronica Tracey Spy/PI book 2). On Friday I spent most of the day reading legislation. There were a few things I wanted to know, or get clarity on. My questions were regarding the Intelligence and Security Act 2017. … Continue reading Research fun.
In the shadows of foreign intelligence, every choice is deadly.
How's that for a blog post title? 🙂 Yesterday, after I went and picked my new reading glasses and prescription sunglasses, I decided to mess around with taglines and the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. The intent was to create some new graphics. I did that. I did 3 per book and then McWristy and stupid … Continue reading In the shadows of foreign intelligence, every choice is deadly.
Maybe 2k, maybe more.
In an effort to not think about the new normal I have jumped into writing [Echo Mike Papa]. It was not my intention to start another story while [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] is with my editor. But I did. I did and it's fun. It's escapism. In a few weeks My Knight will be home and … Continue reading Maybe 2k, maybe more.
There’s notes and more notes!
Not so long ago, I decided to revamp my teaching text. And I quickly realised I'd left things out that needed to be in. Oops. It's not the end of the world. Most of the missing information became class notes and handouts. Easy peasy. I spent some time over the weekend and all Monday morning … Continue reading There’s notes and more notes!
I swear it’s true …
I'm filling out subsidy paperwork for Superman. There's a lot of paperwork. There's a lot of stuff that I've never come across before - it's a learning curve. Our new normal took a sharp twist late yesterday afternoon. I had a phone call from the care home. Superman needed to talk to me. Awesome. I … Continue reading I swear it’s true …
Notes
The last week or so has been all about notes. My notes. I've been coming up with different ways to teach the same subject. Fresher text. It was time. Or I'm procrastinating like the pro I am. It was time to tackle tired text and revamp it. Tidy it all up a bit, make it … Continue reading Notes
And then …
The last two days were spent revising my teaching textbook and the workbook that goes with the crime writing course I teach. A minimum of 16 hours went into doing that. Everything is shiny and new. New formatting, new covers, new titles, new ISBNs, revamped content, and some new content.I have ordered myself a copy … Continue reading And then …
