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.

It might be summer.
Today might be summer. Can't vouch for tomorrow and it definitely was not summer yesterday. Such fun. Every day we play 'guess the season' in the valley. In other news, the first round of edits are done. Now I know why my lovely editor refers to [IRL] as 'the one with all the hyphens'. I … Continue reading It might be summer.
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.

A sneaky favourite?
I know us authors are supposed to love our most recent work the most and crack on about it all the time. I do enough of that, I think. Cast your minds back to 2009, that's when my first two novels were released by Rebel ePublishers (at the time they were a South African publishing … Continue reading A sneaky favourite?

The first is I use a VPN and The Onion if I need to access information that is a little bit dodge, and I've been doing that for a long time. The other reason - I have more people I … Continue reading Ignore my browsing history.
I see the want in your blue eyes
Yes, that's from Lobo's 'I'd love you to want me'. If you've been here a while then you know it's a very special song for me and my Knight. We have a countdown and it is a long one but it is getting shorter every day, as they do. 🙂 in other news, I'm writing. … Continue reading I see the want in your blue eyes
Welcome home!
I'm back from Tauranga and family time with my oldest daughter. It was my first time in Tauranga and suffice to say I was underwhelmed by the hill they call Mount Maunganui. Seriously, The Mount? Yes, there are pretty beaches though.Anywho, was good to be with Bex and her family. Now I'm home and it's … Continue reading Welcome home!
Is it a milestone?
I've reached the age of having my glasses around my neck on a lovely beaded thingy. It's mostly to stop them flying off my face and getting kicked across the ground. They're expensive and I've already got two scuff marks on them. So, glasses keeper it is then. While I was at it, I got … Continue reading Is it a milestone?
