My progress on my current WIP was tracking well until Friday NZ time and then it all stuttered and it's taking a bit to get back into the right mindset. Still trying to process that something so horrific could happen in a country like mine and in place that is still recovering from devestating earthquakes.... Continue Reading →
The first draft of a my new WIP is well underway but it still lacks a title. Curently the file is saved as 'Love Amongst the Bones' it is a title that sparks a romantic feel even if one of the main characters is a paleontologist. Hopefully I'll figure it out before I come to... Continue Reading →
I've been busy writing on multiple fronts recently. Tokyo Nights: Season Two Episodes is currently being edited and episodes published every fortnight - so far two episodes have gone live. Also have begun working on my next WIP is an untitled novel centered around a paleontologist and a translator/guide he employeees during 1870's China. I'm... Continue Reading →
The first draft of Tokyo Nights: Season Two is almost finished with only one scene to go. But as its a pivitol scene - tying up aspects of Season Two's plot arcs and setting the stage for the third season conclusion - it can be a little more difficult to get right; characters not always...

The first episode of Tokyo Nights: Season Two is now available.

It can only make his life... Continue Reading →
Episode One of Tokyo Nights: Season Two has been released, though I'm still waiting for it to go live in all markets.

I logged into Draft2Digital (D2D) today to check on the publishing progress of a book with Amazon, surprise, surprise, it had not yet gone live. But was even more interesting; annoying as hell was the need to add another layer of kowtowing to Amazon and say that I give D2D permission to publish my books, on my behalf to Amazon. I know, you’d think the fact that uploaded my books to the D2D site and then checked a box would be all the proof that Amazon needed, it’s not for them to stand guard of me and protect me from unscrupulous publishers…. Oh wait, it has nothing to do with protecting me at all. It has everything to do with Amazon trying to further extend the monopoly that they have over the publishing industry, especially where it concerns Indie/Self-publishers.

This week has been a mixed week on the writing on front. I've hit the 'almost finished the story' slump, though I'm slow working around it and the words should pick up pace again soon. Fingers crossed. Only 16k words to finish the first draft of Season Two and then I can focus on the... Continue Reading →
This weeks Rainbow Snippet comes straight from the first draft of Season Two- Episode Seven, and is on the darker side of the Tokyo Nights universe. It is centred around my protaganist Goushi Asano, who as head of the Yamashita Organisation - Yakuza - you would expect him to be a less than law-abiding person;... Continue Reading →
