It's one of those weird days. Kind of disjointed. Not sure why but every now and then days like that appear. This morning I was writing chapter summaries to try and see something I thought I would find in [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra], I sort of found what I was looking for ... turns out my … Continue reading Smoke alarms and random thoughts

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 …
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.
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.
[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]
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?
December 2024
December started pretty quickly, don't you think? October was the slowest month on record and November flew by! I decided I want to finish the third novella in the Fates Entwined: Spellbound Bookshop Trilogy - this month. I had written one chapter prior to that decision.Why wouldn't I add more stress to December?2K a day … Continue reading December 2024
You taught me why.
My first main character was pretty awesome. Not in the very beginning of her life, but as I grew into her and she grew into me. As she taught me to let go and trust that I knew how to do this, she became more like a person and less like a collection of words … Continue reading You taught me why.
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
