Although I've had one book published, and another is to be published shortly, I don't have an agent. I'm not self published (thank you Hague Publishing!), and not really in a position for agent hunting right now, due to my current publishing commitments, but I was prompted to think about the whole agent thing again … Continue reading The Never Ending Agent Issue.

Storm Time
After years living in the PIlbara, we moved to the Hunter Valley. One of the most wonderful things about the Pilbara was the weather. Pilbara weather is dramatic. For much of the year it's hot, but not 'just' hot. If you live on the coast, the heat is like being smothered in a thick, wet, … Continue reading Storm Time
How Do You Keep Your Readers Enthralled?
As I write this, I've just finished "Words of Radiance" by Brandon Sanderson. I read the first of this series not long after its release and absolutely loved it, so I've been eagerly awaiting the second installation.

I originally began this blog because I'm now a published author, and all of the best information sites suggested that it was important to blog "and get your writing out there in the world of social media."Obviously that's quite a self serving reason … Continue reading My Blog is my Soapbox

Creativity And Self Expression: Are We Crushing Them Out Of Our Girls With Pink?
I've been pondering a few things about creativity and self expression lately. If you've been following this blog you'll know that we recently went skiing in Whistler. On the first morning, I was sitting at the base of Whistler Mountain waiting nervously for my lesson. (For an explanation of the nervousness, see this post.) As I sat there, … Continue reading Creativity And Self Expression: Are We Crushing Them Out Of Our Girls With Pink?

How Being Ordinary is Wonderful
Years ago, when we lived in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia, we were briefly part of a bushwalking and abseiling business. We'd transferred some of our skills as part of the local SES Vertical Rescue team into a small business venture. At the time, I was an instructor and team leader in vertical rescue, … Continue reading How Being Ordinary is Wonderful
