Welcome back to the land of brain dumps. I have a bit to dump on you. Figuratively. Randoms 14 Hotels I was in Adelaide for my day job last week and I have questions about hotels. Not specific to the one I stayed in, as I don’t have any complaints about them. It’s more about how […]

It’s Book Launch Day!
Well, the blog post title says it all… It’s Book Launch Day! Well, kinda. On Sunday, I finished submitting the books to the distributor I chose to use. Some stores approve faster than others, so there is a chance the books have not yet been published on the platform that you read […]
I’ve Got A Little Secret
Most of you will know from rants and comments and whinging and well, me on social media (winks) that I’ve been working hard on getting Fuck Should ready for publishing. Finally. I won’t even calculate how many years I’ve been working on this book. I’ve Got A Little Secret Thanks to some […]

Book Progress Post #1
Something I haven’t written or spoken about on social media recently is how I’m going with my book. And that’s because the answer is I haven’t done anything at all on it. I kind of want to blame software problems, but it’s also kind of unfair of me to blame the software when it’s me that […]
Is This Too Obvious To Blog About?
Is This Too Obvious To Blog About? Never think that information is too simple. I was thinking about freelance income goals and other businessey “things” at the start of 2018. I signed up for lots of eCourses, because I’m finally at a stage where I can say yay or nay to the relevancy […]
Why I Don’t Always Share My Opinion Online
Originally published on Kiki and Tea August 6th, 2015 A few years ago when I was much newer to blogging and guest posting, I wrote a post that had a bit of a click bait headline. It wasn’t too “out there” but it was certainly designed to be a bit controversial. And it worked. […]
Harry & Hermione? It’s Ron & Hermione For Me
Originally posted on Kiki and Tea February 4th, 2014 Spoiler Alert! If you haven’t read all the Harry Potter books or watched all the movies, you may want to skip this post. Over the weekend an interview was released where JK Rowling said making Ron & Hermione a couple wasn’t the best choice. […]
