Word counts don’t mean shit

It’s a good thing word counts are excellent motivators for so many writers I know, but I have to confess I hate them! And it might not be for the reason you think. Some writers live by their word counts; seeing those figures tick up must give them a sense of achievement – good on ‘em I say. But they don’t work for me. I’ll tell you why: I’ve written 32,500 words this year but I didn’t enjoy one...

Ah, I wanted to love this book as much as I loved the Hunners in the mid-80s. This is not really an autobiography, more of a series of vignettes, some of which worked better than others. The best one was where Mark Seymour met his future wife, Jo. An...more

What an excellent legal thriller. While it's really about the impact of values, decisions and their consequences on a complex set of interpersonal relationships, this is not a romance or 'chick lit' and should not be marketed as such, despite the pub...more

There seem to be plenty of fans of this series of thrillers, but 'Allegiance', for me, wasn't an enjoyable read. I describe this novel as 'Breaking Bad' (without the black humour) meets Jack Reacher. While there was action aplenty with good and evil...more

Well now, this was a very satisfying novella! I have to say this was great. Very good characterisation and lots of angsty action and drama in a well-paced story. I did feel a little gipped at the end - I think this could have been written into a full...more

This was a very good romance and ticked pretty much all the right boxes. I've worked out I don't really like extended sex scenes in my romance, which is half of the reason this book is three stars for me instead of four. If I could give three and a h...more
