From The Ashes

Hi All,

It’s been a while, I know. And I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that since I last posted, life has changed dramatically for us all! Not to mention how very grateful I was when we came out of lock-down and I was finally allowed to visit my grown-up kids and give them a hug. It’s the little things….

Anyway, I am thrilled to share that after more than a decade, my small press publisher has given me back the rights back to the 5 stories I published with them. I can’t express how gra...

I’ve been reading some social media posts from incredible women who’ve achieved amazing things this past year. They’ve given me hope that one day soon I might find the courage to throw caution to the winds and travel. Or find the energy to take up dance lessons again. And finish writing a damn book. Or even take another risk and find someone to share my life with and be happy. But to be honest, a lot of the time those things seem like pipe dreams. Insurmountable. Unachievable.

I joke to close...

It’s pretty difficult to find the silver lining in recuperating from a major operation when it involves lying in bed, staring at the mould-covered ceiling and walls of my (then) rental property’s main bedroom for hours on end.

So, what’s a girl to do?

How about quit feeling sorry for herself, and use the time to finish writing a story.

I mean for the longest time I’d been wishing for a few more hours in the day, wishing I wasn’t so goddamned exhausted all the time and my muse would come out o...

An age ago a reader asked me if Tangent, the Liminals prequel novella first released in the Dangerous Boys anthology, would ever be released as a stand-alone novella.

My answer was, “Yep, it sure will be released as a stand-alone story!”

Unfortunately, I had no idea my life was to go off on a bit of a… well, tangent, and it would take so very long to make that stand-alone story happen.

Why the delay, I hear you ask?

These past couple of years have been, in a word, rough. Among other life-chan...

Since my last contract finished up a whole heap earlier than expected, and my new contract currently has me working 3 days a week, I’m snatching a bit more reading time… and slowly working my way through the three big boxes of books a good friend gave to me when she downsized to an apartment. Yep, for me there’s nothing better than being given a box of books (or three!), and reading every single one before passing them on to some other avid reader. Bliss!

Stand-out reads for me over May/June...

It’s June 5th.Which means…

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO:

SARA HANTZ, VANESSA BARNEVELD, ROBYN GRADY, EBONY MCKENNA…

Hi all,

My sincere apologiesfor being AWOL these past few months and neglecting thiswebsite/blog. (Not to mention Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Google+, but that’s a whole ‘nother sad story featuring Maree not having enough hours in the day and needing a clone— make that two clones.)

Long story short, I’ve been coping with the challenges of a new full-time job. Inmy spare time, I’ve been wrestling withthe ins and outs of eBook formatting via the Mac I upgraded to when my old PC...
