My World of Books
My World of Books
Welcome to my news updates, where I spill the beans on what keeps me scribbling away in the world of books.
You see, books are like the secret passageway to a reader’s soul, and I know you’ve all been secretly wondering what in the world makes me tick.
Back in my […]
Nomad Writing
I’m currently living Cape Town, South Africa experiencing my Nomad Writing Adventure.
If there’s WIFI, I can go there on my Nomad Writing Adventure and enjoy almost uninterrupted writing of my next new book.
Being here has been an interesting and confronting experience in equal measure. There’s still a special X-Factor energy here, a hum and beat that uplifts your […]
I’m Easily Bored
I’m easily bored so if a book doesn’t appeal by page fifty, I quit reading.
I don’t bother reviewing it either. I understand the hard work, sweat and tears that goes into producing 80,000 words or more. If it’s not my cup of tea – I don’t drink it!
It’s one of the reasons I […]

This time I’ll be three months in Wild Cape Town, looking after my two grand daughters during the school holidays. It’s been a baptism by […]
Foster Mother Reviews
My new psychological thriller, The Foster Mother, was published two weeks ago.
The good news is that The Foster Mother has reviews in the USA with a rating of 4.5 stars.
Because the story is set in NZ & Australia, across three of their main cities, Brisbane, Sydney and Perth, I ideally need to attract more readers in both […]
Using AI to Write
There’s a push to produce words in the shortest possible time. Use AI to write.
You can finish fast while using AI to write, but what about plagiarism and copyright issues? Where’s the humanity in much of this “machine generated” work?
Many writers are shocked by the new release of AI to write content but it’s up to authors to produce higher […]
Are the Lights Still On?
Are the Lights Still On?
In four weeks time, I leave New Zealand to visit friends and family in South Africa, Cape Town to see if the lights are still on.
With the sad economic decline and the never ending “load shedding” a euphemism for power cuts upwards of ten hours a day… I’m beginning to wonder how I’ll be able to […]
Famous Female Pirates
Famous Female Pirates.
While researching famous female pirates for my next new writing project I’ve stumbled upon some fascinating information about female pirates who made their mark on the high seas.
Women were not the simpering characters often depicted in novels and movies, clutching their silk dresses and pearls or fainting with shock and horror.
Here’s a […]
