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.

I don’t know how you do it …
I don't know how you write (if you are a writer), I only know how my process works. I know this because I've been writing the same way for a very long time. Frighteningly long. Thirty years long. My process is simple. I see a scene and write it. I see my characters going about … Continue reading I don’t know how you do it …
Posters, rain, and writing.
Odd blog title but then I often have odd blog titles. 🙂 It's bucketing down here. Full on pouring with rain and parts of the yard are flooding due to the very dry ground. It can't absorb the water fast enough. Anywho, this morning I created the hardback cover for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. Do you … Continue reading Posters, rain, and writing.
What’s a proof?
Easy, it's a mock-up of the final book. See, easy?Its purpose is to check the formatting, check the story, check the cover, and make sure everything is where it should be. It is ALMOST the final product. Almost, but it's NOT for sale yet and it's not had its last minute tweaks.Some of you know … Continue reading What’s a proof?
Anywho, that’s done.
Nau mai, haere mai.Welcome.So, some of you know I've been battling Amazon to get a proof copy, actually it's two proofs of two different titles. I did win but the cost to my sanity was high. It's starting to feel like they discriminate against New Zealanders. Uh huh. Not kidding. If they didn't then they … Continue reading Anywho, that’s done.
Paperbacks?
I have my stock back from Writers Plot Bookshop and that means I have a certain number of the Byte Series novels (Ellie Conway) and a few Veronica Tracey Spy/PI (Ronnie Tracey) books on hand. Thing is they are surplus to requirements. In other words, I already have two of all the Byte Series books … Continue reading Paperbacks?

Sometimes it gets to me:
Bit of a rant because I feel like I'm being stomped over and it is not pleasant.It would be nice to end the year with sales!I've given away more books than I've sold in the last few months. That's not sustainable in any shape or form. I think next year will be a year of … Continue reading Sometimes it gets to me:

Well, I'm glad you asked ... we're expecting to launch [FML] mid-2024![Foxtrot Mike Lima]: Ronnie Tracey’s week kicks off with the unexpected.Mitch Iverson’s … Continue reading Merry Whatever!
I learnt something …
So this week, I learnt something about myself that I didn't know (or didn't realise I knew?) but explains so much. When I read I don't see words I see images, we all knew that. I can see the words if I want to but that means I read each one and they don't create … Continue reading I learnt something …
