Yes, just as this title suggests, there is nothing quite like a rainy day to help keep a writer busy; Over the weekend it had been indeed been nothing but rain, rain, rain, but I see to the fact that staying home because of the rain has given me free time to write, so over this past weekend I had...

Schreibjournal 8/52

Ich habe es geschafft!

Reseña 92. Lo primero que me viene a la cabeza al pensar en esta novela es que tiene una trama complicada de seguir con soltura. Es de esas novelas en que puedes perder el hilo fácilmente, de esas que solamente debes leer si no tienes la mente en otros asuntos, porque si no me haces caso segurame...

This fabulous, roomy handbag was gifted to me by a dear aunt, Veena Mehta.

The PG tag stands for Purificación García – I had never heard of the label before, but now I’m all for it. The bag has withstood every insult including me filling it with sharps like keys and pens and pencils – these things... Read more of this blog post »

This is the last one in the series!

In the last post, I wrote about how we are what we mostly do. In this post, I’ll write about the ways in which we’re passively “running in the background” of other people’s lives. I find it a life-affirm-tastic exercise!

There are a complex multitude of ways in w...

Ladies and gents, proudly announcing the title of my upcoming book, "The Violin", which is an unconventional love story, both twisted and beautiful. The book will follow the lives of two orphans, Daniel and Layla, and how they are inextricably linked through the haunting, pain-killing music of La... Read more of this blog post »

All I knew about this was that it was a retelling of Cinderella and featured a Cyborg, which kind of gave me a Dr. Who vibe. Given that I’m a huge fan of Dr. Who, I figured that this was something that I’d like.

The Story

The is a dystopian story which takes place in the distant future — I think it...

(Don’t) Call Me Crazy doesn’t release until October 2, but since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, I wanted to get the conversation around mental health going. Over on Instagram, I asked readers to share a favorite book which features mental health in some capacity — either it’s a big theme o...

I love this time of year. I love the way everything pushes through the earth to delight us with its greenness and then oftentimes a beautiful display of flowers. The hedgerows at present, (where they are left to grow and seed before being cut) are full and beautiful in their randomness. Lots of f... Read more of this blog post »

Coffee, a book and a soundtrack.

Als ondernemer is het lastig een vangnet te ontwikkelen voor wanneer je arbeidsongeschikt raakt. Verzekeringen hiervoor zijn ontzettend duur en keren niet altijd uit. Ik zit sinds anderhalf jaar bij een Broodfonds, een alternatieve vorm van een arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering voor ondernemers....

I had always planned to pay for promotion on Facebook for my novel, Social Media Central. And I was going to use the trailer as the main focus of that promotion. There’s been a lot written by authors about the changing face of social media platforms and how it’s harder to get yourself out there …... Read more of this blog post »

Quick post today, because I realised it was a very long time since I last posted and I should maybe keep you updated. Short version: exam term is hell. Finals are hell. I am in hell. Insert witty Dante reference here because dammit I’m a medievalist, I should know what to say!!

Sorry. I’m just fi...

I’ve posted a new Royal Occultist short story over on my Patreon site. “The Creeping Man” finds St. Cyprian and Gallowglass attempting to contain the titular menace before he claims what he’s come for. While the story was originally the opening chapter for the third Royal Occultist novel, The Inf...

I’d like to offer a word of warning to my mother with this one. Somehow, this ended up being our longest episode. Mom, if you listen to this on the treadmill, you might do yourself a serious injury. It’s a whopping 48:17 (and that’s edited down!). I guess it’s not surprising when you do a book as...

По сложившейся традиции, читатели успевают сообщить мне о выходе новой книжки раньше, чем издатели (которые такие же балбесы в этих вопросах, как я: сдали - ура, сделали! - и тут же забыли, а дальше оно как-то само).

Так вот, вышел последний седьмой том Сказок Старого Вильнюса. Уже в ОЗОНе, наприм... Read more of this blog post »

When was the last time you witnessed a child having a full-blown meltdown in public; complete with head-pounding, ear-piercing, chest rattling shrieking, kicking, and crying their demands?   I used to judge. I used to think that mother or father a terrible parent. Until I had children—and now gra...

It is no secret that I love a wide variety of books and authors from a melting pot of genres. I have read books by fantastic authors such as J.K Rowling, John Green, Suzanne Collins, Sophie Kinsella, and Veronica Roth, to name a few. However, there have been three distinctly different authors tha... Read more of this blog post »

Every writer has heard some variation on it: ‘You need to find your voice’, ‘When you find your voice’, ‘Wow, I love that author’s voice’ — what in the world does this mean? We’re writing, not speaking, RIGHT? How can we be talking about a voice when reading is silent? (Don’t bring...

At my seminar last week in Salt Lake City (great folks there, by the way — had a blast!), I was talking with a gentleman and he told me his photos were backed up already because he backs-up his Lightroom catalog once a week. Ack! Another guy there thought the same thing — that backing up your Li...

Are y'all as sick of our move as we are?

I bet you're not!

Kitty, Amy and I spent all afternoon at our old apartment, getting rid of all the stuff we didn't take with us and doing the final cleaning. And not a moment too soon.

I don't think I've ever blogged about why we were in such a hurry to mov... Read more of this blog post »

My post this week is a little late – sorry about that. I’ve had some technical issues (apart from GDPR) that I’m still grappling with. But I wanted to make a POINT. I’m not a royalist. I’ll take it further and say that as an Australian, I’m a born-again Republican. Right, that’s done. NOW I’ll […...

I’ve been mulling over what I might like to write about today, and I decided to touch base on all the work that readers don’t see when they decide to pick up a book.

For example, I wrote almost 30K words on a series proposal earlier this year before deciding that I needed to scuttle the project. W...
