Wynter Wild Series: Post Script
Looking back – and forward – after 1.2 million words in the Wynter Wild world.
Q&A
This is the non-spoilery (or only slightly spoilery) version of the Q&A from Wattpad. First up… If you enjoyed the series, please consider writing honest reviews, or just leave ratings, on Amazon or Goodreads. It’s the best way to support me as an indie writer. For the past four years I’ve written the words you’veContinue reading “Q&A”
Lockdown Eleven
Birthday in lockdown, plus best ever brownie recipe
Family Fun for Real
What are your go-to family favorite games? As a child, we were a Scrabble-or-Canasta family. Friends in America introduced us to Euro boardgames 15 years ago, and we’ve been crazy about them ever since. My state is currenly on lockdown for a week – no leaving the house except for essential shopping, work, medical, andContinue reading “Family Fun for Real”
My Lockdown Project
You know how there’s that one space in your home that becomes a junk space? A drawer in the kitchen, a closet in the hall, a basket on the countertop, a corner in the bedroom… or sometimes, an entire room! My state of Victoria just went into lockdown after a new outbreak of COVID-19. IContinue reading “My Lockdown Project”
Xay in San Francisco
I just uploaded one of the final chapters of The Beat Goes On (Wynter Wild Book 10), where Xay plays a concert in San Francisco. He’s supporting Destructex, a band of “aging rockers” whose heyday was the 80s although they retain a massive fan base, which of course can’t hurt Xay’s fledgling career when heContinue reading “Xay in San Francisco”
Why My Books are Not YA
What happens when young adults read your book that’s not YA? I love all my readers, so I don’t mind at all! But here’s the thing – young adults weren’t the audience I intended to attract when I wrote the Wynter Wild books, and I don’t believe I’ve written a YA story. Wattpad tells meContinue reading “Why My Books are Not YA”
My Spreadsheets
Ah, my spreadsheets… I have a lot of them, and I’m very attached to them. Once I realized my little contemporary drama was going to be not-so-little, I started a spreadsheet to track a few things, and in retrospect I’m so glad I did. It’s far easier to work on timelines and lists as youContinue reading “My Spreadsheets”
Writing American Characters as a British Aussie
My American husband has been here in Australia for ten years now. He’s pretty much acclimatized to the lingo, the weather, and the food, and the culture shock when he arrived was sufficient that he’s clear on what is American (chili) and what is not (panel beaters). I grew up in the UK, moved toContinue reading “Writing American Characters as a British Aussie”
