Shady Places - New Beginnings

This month is the second anniversary of me publishing my first book. I’ve been sharing my work here ever since, but now it is time for a change. So, in 2025, I am trying something new. Instead of dropping chapters of books or just random observations, I will send you more structured posts. I’ll keep you abreast of my life, thoughts and writing while trying to take up less of your valuable…

Shady Places - Struggles

I’ve had a mixed bag of wins and losses this week. As an struggling author, other than finishing your book, the most important element in success is recognition. Success breeds success and I congratulate all those authors who have thousands of likes and reviews on their Amazon page but they all started with zero. So in order to move the needle I’ve tried all the tricks I can think of: writing…

Shady Places - Gold

I took some time last week to get out on the open road and drive to Sydney for the day. It is just under three hours one way and if you are motivated, you can leave in the morning and be back before bed. I have made the trip many times, and I find listening to an audiobook helps pass the time. Something easy that doesn’t require too much concentration I find works best. So my recommendation this…

Shady Places - Vienna

Another busy week done with lots to report. First off, I put the final touches to my latest book, The Cryptic Liaison, and uploaded it for distribution. Available for pre-order, Cryptic continues the Love of Lifetime series and this time we travel to Vienna. Vienna has a special place in my life as travelled there for work for years. I explored much of the city in my free time and can only say,…

I Dream

What would you do? Last night I had the most vivid dream. I had woken in the arms of a lover from years ago. The bedclothes were dishevelled and their hair and sweat still clung to my naked flesh from our first night together. Their hair was a mess but in that moment their myriad imperfections marked them as the peak of human perfection. And, by the way they looked at me, I knew they thought the…

Exciting Announcement

Shady Places - Hot of the Press

I’m happy to announce that this week I finished the first draft of my latest novel, The Cryptic Liaison. Initially I thought that this book would be shorter than most but at around 45k words it is on par with all of my other books so far. I’ll step away from it for a few weeks and work on my next project before I go back to it and get stuck into editing. I’ve found that several weeks of ignoring…
