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.

Confessions of Love

Reworking the Core Part
Learning new things and reworking the core part of an author business is critical these days.
Yesterday I spent three amazing hours with publishing book consultant and author extraordinaire, Kirsten McKenzie. It was an eye-opening session and reinforces the much repeated concept that you don’t know what you don’t know. It turns out I hardly know a thing.
She discussed my […]
