And just like that another Veronica Tracey Spy/PI book exists.

There’s notes and more notes!
Not so long ago, I decided to revamp my teaching text. And I quickly realised I'd left things out that needed to be in. Oops. It's not the end of the world. Most of the missing information became class notes and handouts. Easy peasy. I spent some time over the weekend and all Monday morning … Continue reading There’s notes and more notes!
Autumn has arrived.
This morning is a clear blue sky autumn day. The kind I love. Crisp and beautiful. I'm sitting having a coffee with a Birman in my lap. She's making typing difficult and she doesn't care. There are worse problems to have. Last night was spent with friends. Laughing. Drinking a little bit. Eating delicious corned … Continue reading Autumn has arrived.
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?
Avenues and alleyways
I'm reading a book. I know, shocker!It's got a main character who has migraine disorder. It's not one of my FBI-Byte Series books. What? 🙂 Where I left off last night the main character had an icepick migraine. (They are evil fuckers but they only last seconds.) So far, I've had every type of migraine … Continue reading Avenues and alleyways
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 few observations …
As you all know, I'm a writer and as such I read a lot. And I do tend to come across some 'interesting' books. You know what I do with the ones that absolutely astound me with their nonsense. That's right. They become a teaching tool. So this is the thing - I'm reading a … Continue reading A few observations …
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
It’s a weird limbo situation:
Currently, life has a weird kind of limbo thing going on. I know it's because I have, in a very short space of time, finished two manuscripts. Yeah, not just one. Hell no. Let's make life really fucking weird and go for two. I can't even say I'm using this time to create covers and … Continue reading It’s a weird limbo situation:
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 …
