I am going to have to get my arse into gear very shortly and get on with [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra]. I have become entirely too slack. It's not like I haven't written anything. I did finish a short for an anthology and it is a Ronnie Tracey story. The thing I'm not doing though is … Continue reading Hey Hey …
Veronica Tracey Spy/PI
A birthday and a spy story …
Freda is 26. Unbelievable but it's true.I finished the short story I was writing for the LA Anthology! Hooray. Very much enjoyed taking Ronnie and putting her in a foreign city. The story came in a little under 7K, so a lot longer than I envisaged when I started it. I know I could've taken … Continue reading A birthday and a spy story …
It’s a day that ends in Y.
Or why?Could be both?It's going to be. 🙂 Anywho, we are back from our flying visit (via Ferry) to Marlborough Sounds and then Christchurch. We have visited the southern family. Marvellous fun to be had.And now? Well, I'm teaching my Crime Writing Course from Saturday, so that'll keep me out of trouble for the next … Continue reading It’s a day that ends in Y.
The things you find …
I was on Facebook (imagine?) and I was reading a post (shocking, I know). Anywho, it was a Spybrary post that caught my attention. (I think it was anyway.) I followed a link and was reading about various spy book series and I thought, wouldn't it be fun if Ronnie was there? Guys ... Ronnie … Continue reading The things you find …
Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you know? The song "Do you know where you're going to" by Diana Ross popped up this morning, and it started me thinking about my characters. Did you see that coming? 🙂 I don't know if I ever knew where Ellie was going - the FBI-Byte Series stories were mysteries to me that unfolded … Continue reading Do you know where you’re going to?
Don’t rock the boat …
Or do. It's entirely up to you. I was thinking about the new Veronica Tracey Spy/PI story that partly exists. There is definitely 'boat rocking' in that story. Ronnie isn't one for calm waters, too boring. If I don't sit my arse down and get on with it though, that story will never completely exist. … Continue reading Don’t rock the boat …
Don’t take it for granted.
What is it? I hear you ask. It is, anything and everything, or nothing. That depends on you. The youngest child suggested an idea for a novella today. (Yes, the youngest child is the one who suggested the Fates Entwined novellas, if you recall she hasn't read those yet. Mostly because ME/CFS renders words to … Continue reading Don’t take it for granted.
Hello, it’s me.
I think I've pretty much organised this year's book launch. Hooray. I wasn't going to get more pens for the launch because I have a few already but I'm weak when it comes to pens ... so there are new pens. They're slightly different but still gel ink and capped.If you've ever received pens from … Continue reading Hello, it’s me.
Christmas Eve 2024
Kia ora,Welcome to Christmas Eve in New Zealand. It started with a text to a friend who has a Christmas Eve birthday. I was first to say Happy Birthday so that's a win. (Also a perk of living in the future.)The rest of the day involved dessert making, washing, and trying out two new styling … Continue reading Christmas Eve 2024
[Nothing happens here]
I'd been meaning to pop into that manuscript and fiddle with a few things so this morning I finally did! You know how there are always those annoying little things that everyone misses until the book is published? Yeah them. (The my that should've been me and other annoyances, like American spelling!)New versions are now … Continue reading [Nothing happens here]
