Spy novelist. Endlessly curious. Fuelled by hope. šØš¦
It amazes me how many people give up their credibility just to get views.

I meet more than a few people who think getting the book deal is the final step. Iām all like ācongratsā but if you want my unsolicited advice, start marketing yourself now, because publishing does not equal sales.

Yesterday I experienced that moment. The one when you figure out the exact change your story needs to have everything fall into place and be the book you dreamed of it being. So magical!

Sometimes I need a break from writing. Sometimes those breaks are long. But I never worry theyāre going to be forever. Inevitably my brain says āok, Iām good nowā and the stories start up again.

My son started reading Pride and Prejudice on his own initiative, and it was a moment for me.

The beta readers have come through. They are lovely, thoughtful, and I definitely need a significant rewrite. Can anyone share some thoughts on how to effectively mix first and third person in the same book? Any examples of when itās been done to great effect?

Agree. Book bans are one of the first signs of severe social disease that we need to address before our society dies.

First comments from a beta reader just came back ⦠some positives and ⦠Negatives are hard to hear, sure, but I think āyeah, addressing these comments is sure going to make this book kick assā.

Watched Psycho last night. So good. It mustāve been shocking when it first came out. Anthony Perkins was so perfectly creepy in that movie.

I was a lot funnier before I had my kids. I guess ongoing total exhaustion does have an impact on oneās sense of humour.

They say you shouldnāt judge a book by its cover. But we do. All the time. Having a cover thatās a visual representation of your story is super key, imo. Itās the beginning of the promise you make to your reader.

Canada doesnāt prosecute high profile sexual assault cases well. Itās the victim on trial. Verdict always the same. The victimās story has inconsistencies. She must be lying. Couldnāt be that itās years later and sheās remembering everything through a lens of terror.

Itās somehow both amusing and tragic to watch so many people frantically trying to reduce their cognitive dissonance. Literally every day in the news cycle.

Second draft complete and off to the beta readers. Iām always surprised when I get to this point. Like all those words that sometimes I feel like Iām drowning in would get organized into something coherent and interesting.

My latest book is set in 1985. And all of a sudden the lack of cell phones is causing a massively convoluted work around that is killing the flow. Communication and transportation. The unsexy critical factors in all plots.
