Welcome to Friday and the ridiculous made up holiday that is Feb 14th. Yeah, I'm not a fan. Been a funny old week, hence the blog title. I'm not going to elaborate but I imagine you can all figure it out. Work started properly on the new book. It has no title. It's a tad … Continue reading Stalky McStalkerson

I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing …
Thanks for that gem Aerosmith. I do love it. I pressed play, had no idea what I was listening to last - so, the Armageddon sound track was a nice surprise. 🙂 This song in particular has been a favorite for years. I've been hard at it over the last few days, making a lot … Continue reading I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing …
And just like that …
It's a New Year and a new decade. I wonder what the twenties will bring? I've been a published author for a decade and one year, because my first novel was published in 2009.

Friday Dec 20
Friday was a surprising day - first I managed to write 3000 words while manning the bookshop despite constant interruptions and they were not of the sale variety - good effort there. Then, Charlie messaged me about lunch. Marvelous! So it was out to lunch with Pip, Charlie, and Mrs Harris (somethings just stick). Jolly … Continue reading Friday Dec 20
And it all changed …
Welcome to the weekend. I knew this was going to be a writing weekend - because yesterday morning as I read the last chapter I wrote (a few days ago), I could hear Ellie. I heard the exasperation. I'd gone off script. She was not happy. It happens sometimes and I always fix it because, … Continue reading And it all changed …
Friday the 13th
A massive thank you to all the wonderful people who remembered my birthday yesterday (and today for those in the other half of the world). Facebook and Linkedin do a great job of reminding us all! haha Last night was the last full moon of the decade. We did a bit of witchy stuff. Cleansed … Continue reading Friday the 13th
Ten things about this week …
It's my birthday on Dec 12. I will be spending it alone because everyone is always busy in December and because My Knight isn't here this year. AND I HATE IT. So there's that. 😦 It's also Ellie's birthday on Dec 12. Surprised? You shouldn't be, I did that on purpose so I didn't have … Continue reading Ten things about this week …

Today I found out that the launch will be at Upper Hutt Central Library. Woo hoo! We have a little something special (and fun) planned for this launch but you'll have to come along to find out what that is. Wasn't sure if I'd be able to organize a launch this side of Christmas but … Continue reading Launch date and venue announcement!
