I've always loved Ray Charles and especially Hit the Road Jack. You better believe I badly sing along with the backup singers. Who doesn't? Anywho, I spent all yesterday reading. I barely moved from my spot on the couch until almost 4PM when I had finished the final proofread and making any stupid little changes … Continue reading Hit the Road Jack
World famous in Upper Hutt
Oh, you’re a prince …
Why didn't you say? That makes all the difference. Said no one with a brain, ever. The scammers are running rampant in the publishing arena. Yeah, still! You'd think they'd give up, right? I guess there are enough people falling for their nonsense that it's lucrative for them. Currently, it's cold calls from "digital marketers". … Continue reading Oh, you’re a prince …
Saturday, May 18th
Yes, the date is the title for a reason. It's the date of the 'Badness by the Bushlands' Ngaio Marsh event at Upper Hutt central library. I haven't done a Ngaio event for a few years. Many reasons - mostly because I was away when they were scheduled or they were too hard for me … Continue reading Saturday, May 18th
Legendary
Quite liking the latest single from Bon Jovi. 🙂 Yes, I will add a Spotify link at the end of this post. How are ya? You good?I've spent most of the day checking and adding links to my universal links. It's time consuming. The joy is though ... my paperbacks are available from far more … Continue reading Legendary
Maybe Tomorrow

No big surprise when I say I'm writing at the moment (I don't mean right this second, silly but I am so ...)Anywho, [IRL] is coming along nicely with a few big surprises thrown in to keep me on my toes. Such fun. Also, Scattered on Cloth is … Continue reading Maybe Tomorrow
There’s a warm wind blowing …
We are one-step closer to the physical launch of [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. Would've been nicer if the courier hadn't jammed a parcel that really was a bit big, rigid, and hard to grab into the letterbox. Instructions were clear on the bag "Leave by front door" ... had a feeling they'd take the easy road … Continue reading There’s a warm wind blowing …
The first flower
This morning the large camellia tree outside my bedroom window has a tui in it. That means the first flowers have opened. The tui love the camellia flowers. I thought I heard a tui yesterday and thought the flowers would open soon. The next birds to visit the camellia will be the korimako. Korimako are … Continue reading The first flower
First We Take Manhattan
Big thanks to Leonard Cohen for today's blog title. Yes, I will link you to the song at the end of this post. Leonard Cohen has a special place in my heart. Anywho, that's not the purpose of this post. This morning I created the Event page on Facebook for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. That means … Continue reading First We Take Manhattan
Crash into Me:
Yes, the blog title is a song. I was scrolling through the playlist for Cryptobyte and Crash into Me got me thinking. We all know that 'every contact leaves a trace', right? That's the underpinning for forensic science. ('Every contact leaves a trace' is also known as 'Locard's exchange principle'.)You don't have to physically crash … Continue reading Crash into Me:
I Got You Babe.
The last week and a bit has been busy. Adding new ISBNs to the FBI-Byte Series paperbacks, reformatting, and creating new covers, then having to create all new graphics to reflect the new covers. The books are also on a new platform and I no longer have to deal with Amazon to get print copies. … Continue reading I Got You Babe.
