Working Notes – The Book That Wouldn’t Be Short
It’s only now I’ve recalled a pithy little line I included in the special features for The Royal Talisman: “I have also been accused of an inability to write anything short to save my life.” Good thing a hanging didn’t depend on the turn of that phrase. Because I blithely included in the description for [...]
Working Notes – Byzantine Heartbreak is Underway. Yeah!
It’s been a weird week. For a start, it’s been very cold. Like, 35 degrees Celsius below zero cold. That’s negative 31 in Farenheit for all you Imperial-thinking people. I got Mukluks for Christmas — real authentic ones. But even at -35, they let the cold in and my feet started to chill up. I [...]
Working Notes – Backstage Pass
Last time around, for working notes, I had skipped over two books, and had to back track. This time, I don’t have a book to talk about at all, because of another phenomenon of the indie publishing industry: doing it yourself means actually doing it all yourself. Everything. The formatting, uploading, releasing, technical un-hitching, acquiring [...]
Working Notes – The Book You Missed and the One You Might Yet Miss
I don’t think I’ve ever hidden the fact that I write posts ahead of time and schedule them to appear here on the appointed day. Most bloggers do this. It’s a survival mechanism: We’d all be in straight-jackets by week four if we had to manually post each and every post on the appointed day [...]
Working Notes – December 26, 2011
My best wishes to everyone who celebrated Christmas Day yesterday, and for everyone who got the day off from work, I hope you made the best of it. Of course, I’m writing this somewhere in the past, so I’m not sure yet if I made a very good day of it or not, but I [...]
Working Notes – November 7, 2011
Happy Birthday, Barbara Ann Cooper. My Mum. My Mum lives in Australia, and believe it or not, she reads every single one of my posts, although some of them have to crisp the hair in her nostrils! She also keeps every copy of every one of my books that I give her, but I know [...]

An Unsettling Thought Or Two For Your Halloween Trick Or Treat This post was going to be about something else entirely. It was going to be about the fact that one of the world’s greatest magicians — Harry Houdini — capped off his brilliant career by dying on the most auspicious day of the year [...]
Working Notes – October 24, 2012: Snippit to Tease You
Kate’s body tightened again at the idea that he had spared her a moment’s attention, and she frowned at her own vapidness. “Sudden business trip?” she asked, keeping her tone as light and uninterested as she could manage. “Something like that.” Adrian’s tone matched hers. Then it shifted and became deeper. Sexier. “I hope you [...]
Working Notes – September 26: Blood Stone
I’ve been getting a huge number of hits on the site lately for Brian Austin Green, and the role he played in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. People are reading my rave review about him as a romantic hero. I find that promising as Green is my inspiration for one of the heroes in the [...]
Working Notes – July 4. Blood Knot II
If you’re subscribed to my newsletter, you already know that my writing and publishing schedule has taken a short detour. Blood Knot has suddenly become hugely popular. Last week it was #262 on Amazon’s Most Popular Vampire Romance chart. As I write this post it has moved up to #257. Considering that Amazon have 3,175 [...]
