The final installment of the Wynter Wild series is finally available on Amazon! The quotes in the main image are from a few of my amazing Wattpad readers who stuck with me to the end. The encouragement and feedback I received on Wattpad helped carry me through to the end after I started uploading chaptersContinue reading “New Release: The Beat Goes On (#10)”

When the story is just a story
Why do we write stories anyway? To entertain… To share our imaginations for fun… To elucidate a message about the weighty issues afflicting humanity? Writers are frequently expected to answer with that last option. Science fiction, in particular, often uses analogies to explore current and historical human issues. On the flip side, writers may getContinue reading “When the story is just a story”

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.

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”
