Half-way through a 4x week vacation with my English family where we have not been together for 14years. It's... a roller coaster. It is getting a bit peopley. Please pray for me.

Talking about the writing effort with family tonight. As an indie, you have to go in eyes wide open. Be prepared and be motivated to do it all. It is hard, but I love this craft. I write because the stories inside me wont let me rest.

Woke up to 2x 5star reviews and a 2star. Ah, the ups and downs of being an author! Just thanked the 2star reviewer, the comments made will help me hone my craft.

Eating Monster Munch after 20+ years. I think I am changing from team pickled onion to beef and I am not sure how I feel about that

My 8 yr old daughter had a sore throat, and with everything she hears, she got scared about illness and said: "if I die will we all be together? Will I see you like I do now?" I cried. Hug your people. It is all that matters.

UK family vacation over, landed back in Perth. I had high hopes of flight-time writing, but it didn't work. A few hundred words, some editing, but not a lot. It works when it's just me, but otherwise I'm too conscious of everyone else and cant lose myself. Interesting insight.

Such an interesting journey this writing thing! I wrote what I consider a gritty and realistic epic fantasy. Over the 6months since publishing, I have been told it is dark fantasy. I am now talking about it that way, but in my head it is still an epic fantasy story.

I know more established authors out there will roll their eyes, but my baby is just over 6 months in the wild and I get a massive rush when a reader sends me a pic of receiving my book.

Chosen is in Canada!!! Signed copies are at the amazing Iron Dog Books in Vancouver. I was born on Vancouver island, so having my debut epic dark fantasy novel in an indie bookstore in Vancouver is an incredible life moment for me. I am giddy!

Every indie fantasy novel is an artistic creation of a new reality. The effort to get there is immense. Family, friends, career all take a back seat. The author endures financial and mental health struggles long after its creation, but they continue. Support creativity.
