First, and quite randomly, I found out today that Explicit Instruction is being illegally pirated through torrent sites. After an initial panic and a Google search I learned that I should take this as a compliment. Hmm. Since there is nothing I can do about it, I suppose I’ll have to look at it that […]
It has been said that writers must have the tendency to doubt and the capacity to believe in equal measure. Perhaps that is why I find myself dwelling on this peculiar, I mean particular, issue. I’ve been writing for years, right? Along the way I’ve learned a few dos and don’ts. I have masses of […]
So the next Explicit novel, have you heard? Yes, there’s a sequel. At this stage in the process the story is there. The novel has a beginning, it has a middle, and it has an end… which I always find helps :p The trouble comes now… writing is a solitary pursuit. Publishing is not. I […]
It’s crap. It’s all a big steaming pile of garbage. Yes, I’m going slightly mad. I couldn’t sleep last night. I tossed and I turned picking it all apart and trying to put it together again. The trouble is that when you start to force it the whole thing becomes contrived and it ends […]

On a completely unrelated issue I have to make a declaration first: I love my iPhone, I hate my charger. Last week on the night before I left to go away my phone charger fried, which wouldn’t have been a problem if it hadn’t had the new lightning connection. Needless to say after […]
I’ve been at the computer for almost fourteen hours now, the room is starting to ripple, and I haven’t eaten since… yesterday. Needless to say I’ll keep this brief. Explicit Instruction stormed through the charts at Amazon.ca I don’t think there are words for my surprise. It’s a funny little cloud to be sitting on. […]
Manic. Manic. I woke up to do with a list of things to do. I did those. Did some writing, then had task after task interrupting. Anyway, I’m still bashing away at the keyboard but I wanted to let you know I’ve set up a poll. Check it out on Facebook or on my […]
