It's been a while since I wrote about writing. This year we've been a bit inundated with COVID type stuff, and sometimes I let off steam by using my blog as my soapbox. But I've still been writing regularly. For a little while it was a bit harder than usual. I think COVID fatigue may … Continue reading Writing Update

It was a very exciting moment, so I took a screenshot just to make sure I never forget. It's an exciting moment for an author, even if it's … Continue reading What A Week!

Writing New Things
For some years, I've been writing the Frontier Trilogy. By writing, I mean first, second, third draft, submission, acceptance, editing, editing, editing (I could keep typing that one), and then proofreading it. Now that the series is complete and has been released, it all feels a bit weird. It's not like I haven't been writing … Continue reading Writing New Things
The End of 2014 and the Writing Year Ahead
As I sit here, buried under the cat (The cat MUST sit on me every time I write, and because it's hot he's extra cuddly) typing away, I'm pondering the past year. I'm sure nearly every blogger in the world will write a retrospective post, and to a certain extent, so am I this year. … Continue reading The End of 2014 and the Writing Year Ahead

Although I've always loved reading Science Fiction, and now writing it, I've never been to one, as we've always lived in remote, and now rural, Australia.It's really interesting when you tell people that you're going … Continue reading Continuum X – Next Weekend’s activity!
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 thought therefore, that I'd write this post partly as a book review, and partly as a discussion … Continue reading How Do You Keep Your Readers Enthralled?
