That's right, the Rod Stewart song is today's blog title. Why? Because I like the song. Also, because it's the title of the first story in Cachebyte. Words have been elusive since I arrived home from Mahau Sound. [FFS] isn't moving along as fast as it did while I was away. It's annoying me. (Of … Continue reading Every Beat of My Heart.

Hey ho silver lining.
I've been writing quite a bit lately. [FFS] is coming along nicely. I had to go back and write three new chapters in the beginning to satisfy my gut feeling that it didn't start early enough and add a few other things that I knew I needed to mention, early. I did that. It works … Continue reading Hey ho silver lining.
Magic formula?
I've been a bit hopeless at blogging (and also writing) for the last few weeks. Possibly a few things causing apathy. Sometimes it's all too much, and to be honest, it feels like a waste of time. As much as I love writing and enjoy the VT Series characters, I'd also like proper sales. That … Continue reading Magic formula?
It’s all fun and games …
... until your phone won't charge. No fun to be had then. I can't afford to replace it at the moment so all my fingers are crossed that turning it off and back on works! 🙂 I know it's been misbehaving and not allowing calls through at times - of course I don't know it's … Continue reading It’s all fun and games …
A birthday and a spy story …
Freda is 26. Unbelievable but it's true.I finished the short story I was writing for the LA Anthology! Hooray. Very much enjoyed taking Ronnie and putting her in a foreign city. The story came in a little under 7K, so a lot longer than I envisaged when I started it. I know I could've taken … Continue reading A birthday and a spy story …
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 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.

Ignore my browsing history.
I must admit my browsing history isn't what it used to be, for several reasons. 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.
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.
