Everywhere I look, there’s shiny pointy, glitter-laden decorative stuffs. What madness is this?

Finalising the (hopefully) final draft of the new Jax Marlin novel, but I gotta check back to the first book to remember the name of a character because I’m brain fogged.

Anyways, the end is near. This is happening! One final pass and to the editor it goes.

Tidying up the almost done WIP, and trying to remove as much "just"s as I can, but it just doesn't work, it just sounds wrong. I just can't. 😝

6 sci-fi/speculative fiction authors, 12 stories of Code, Consciousness, and Survival. Exploring the myriad realms where humanity and technology intersect, these compelling stories offer glimpses into all-too-plausible realities.

A few hours with no internet. What has become of the world? What had become of me?! Ima Gen X girl, I survived no internet. Yet I flailed and threw an unbecoming tantrum. Sigh.

Got my 2026 day planner (yes, I’m old school. What of it? I like to write thing down).

I’m ready for the new year. Let’s do this!

Sunday chill time. Played with cacti to create little cacti to put on little chairs. Also, chopsticks, the multipurpose tool for handling sharp and pointy things!

Yet another book launch from Steve! For all you readers of spooky things, this one’s for you. I don’t know why I just bought it though 😂
OUT NOW: The Old Man of the Black
Ryan’s final delivery before Christmas takes a deadly turn when a Highland blizzard strands him at Ashcraig, a remote house with one mysterious inhabitant: Rose. The house holds more than secrets - as night falls, ghostly horrors stir, and escape is not an option...

Who needs a reason to drink some bubbly? I don’t 😂. Cheers, everyone.

I had the pleasure of ARC reading this new, soon-to-be-released novel from my long-time author friend, Cary Caffrey.

Dark, gritty, visceral, punching, humorous, endearing...what more is there to love about a book like this?

Not yet available to preorder or purchase, but soon!

Do you want to know a secret?
I've reduced the price (temporarily) of Bis Rose (for a Black Friday sale across online vendors). But because I'm brain-dead, I've done it now so I don't forget for both Amazon and Itch.

Check it out!

Back into the fray…
This new Jax Marlin novel isn’t going to finish itself. Beta read back in, here’s diving into draft 7 (or there abouts, I’ve lost count 😂)

Cleverly done!
This flash fiction story is written without the use of a very common word. So common, in fact, it usually disappears from prose. Read the story and see if you can figure out which word it is. (Great exercise for building sentence variety.)
