Hey, how are you today? How's August treating you? Can you believe it's almost over? Yikes. A lot of good and one not-good thing happened this month. It started with an incredible announcement: signed a contract for my first short story collection with Cemetery Gates Media , and  …

OMGosh, I just realised that it's been quite a while since I last posted something that wasn't a book review. So, here I am! ☺️ How are you? How's July treating you? What's new? Anything exciting happening in your life at the moment? I have to admit that in some ways, this…

Well, we've almost reached the end of 2023, so I suppose it's time to chat about my goals. This year turned out to be packed full of stuff. My husband became a bus driver, which flipped our routine. I managed to get my writing back on track after spending so much of the last few y…

How are you? I can't believe it's already June! Yikes. 😳 In Oz, this means that winter is here. As you might already know, I'm not a big fan of winter. I don't like the cold and definitely have a hard time adapting to shorter days. But this year, I'm trying not to let…

LOKI 2007 - 2023 I've been meaning to write this post for almost a week now, but couldn't bring myself to do it because it was too sad and very painful. Last Monday we lost our beloved cat, Loki. 😥💔 Calling Loki a cat doesn't seem right. He was my writing buddy, our companio…

Hey! How's it going? Well, the new year isn't so new anymore, is it? Actually, as far as the world is concerned, it's still the same old pandemic crap. 😒 Things in NSW are pretty bad. The case numbers are out of control, getting a PCR test is virtually impossible, RATs are so…

Hey! How are you today? How's this week treating you? The world is still insane, so I know it's weird to ask. But still, it's nice to check in. To make sure we're all okay. So, Australia is still on lockdown and is going to stay that way for another four weeks. Th…

Hey! How's everyone doing this week?  I know that's a hard question to answer when the world is suffering through this horrid pandemic and we're all on some sort of lockdown... but, I hope you're all staying safe and doing wonderful things at home. In NSW, all n…

As I mentioned the last time I blogged, my awesome hubby had a two-week break and it was wonderful.  I love it when he takes a breather away from the office, so to speak. And hanging out together is one of my favourite things to do. So it was great! We went for lots of walks (…

The other day I posted this on Twitter: Yep. This thought really hit me the other day. And it's kinda scary.  I've currently got TEN books published, but--because they're all available at the one publisher--when Samhain Publishing closes at the end of this month,…

o_O So. Another week is almost over, and I once again managed to cross everything off my to-do list. Yay. Love that feeling! We've had some strange weather lately. It's mostly sunny and the days are warming up, but there's also random rainfall and a fair share o…

Samantha McCoy has it all mapped out. First she's going to win the national debating championship, then she's going to move to New York and become a human rights lawyer. But when Sam discovers that a rare disease is going to take away her memory, the future she'd planne…

And it's about time I popped in, right? :P See this picture? That's me as a Mii . Hubby introduced me to the Miitomo app  and I have a lot of fun changing her outfits. Plus making cute/cool pictures I can post on Twitter. As well as here. This one seemed very appropriate …

See this cute pic? That's exactly how I feel today.   *yawn*   So tired. I'm feeling a little crappy today. I keep yawning, have a huge headache that I can't shake, feel wonky and can't stop thinking about taking a nap. Maybe I should do that.   Maybe.   …

OMG. I can't believe it's back.   We've had a HUGE problem with our internet connection since early last Friday morning. We woke up, hubby noticed it wasn't working and it didn't come back until yesterday . That's 6 DAYS! Yep, 6 days without home internet acc…

Yeah, stupid people annoy the hell out of me. So do racists, sexist pigs, bigots, and homophobes. Actually, I don't like anyone who thinks it's okay to be horrible to someone else because of their race, gender, faith, sexual preference, etc. Which is exactly what is going on at t…

Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker—his classmate and crush—who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why…

Estrella deMadrigal thought she knew herself: daughter, granddaughter, sister, dearest friend, beloved. She is Star in the Night Sky, Truth in the Darkness. But truth is rare and precious in this cruel and unforgiving century in Spain, when Jews who refused conversion to Christianity risk…

Yeah. Every year, around this time, I get the itch to start 'sorting' through... things . My bookshelves get reorganised, my writing stuff gets shuffled and filed in a different way, we go through the kitchen, living room, and anywhere else that might need attention. Then we de…

So, how was your weekend? The weather could've been better around here, but we still got a chance to go for our daily walks, which is always cool. Sigh. Some days are better than others. And although I had an awesome weekend with hubby, daughter and kitty--hubby actually…
