Some 16 yrs ago, I wanted to write a romantic couple with a bit of a Romeo & Juliet vibe, I guess we could call them enemies-to-lovers. Around children, work, & pets, I have finally nearly finished, & been sharing over at: www.royalroad.com/fiction/4260... Some people might find it enjoyable.

Looking for a new place to discover new reads and keep up with new releases from authors you love? Little Stack (www.littlestack.com) might be the place for you. You can even find me there: www.littlestack.com/author/deb-e... Downside is they seem to only link to Amazon for purchases. Still neat.

#WipSnips for 30th April fits quite well with my next WIP, of which I've written a few chapters. It has a "talking" (inside the MC's head) amulet … I don't use "Explode", but I do use "Kaboom". I think that vibes (o: #pukapuka

If you live on the western side of Auckland's isthmus & you had flooding over Easter I'd love to hear from you - I'm trying to map where the hot spots are, to advocate for small and major projects to address them. I've been doing this work for a while but need your stories & photos etc please... /n

Reading/writing becomes speakeasy culture as all the anti-AI authors and discerning readers gather in backrooms and basements to swap/find 100% human made stories/poetry/whatever in my upcoming near-future bookpunk novel. Not really but I like the word bookpunk.

#NZWrites Apr 8th: A favourite opening line. Well, it still has to be "It was the day my grandmother exploded" from Iain Banks's 'The Crow Road'.

#NZWrites 6th Apr: Genres I read? Pretty much anything so long as the story is good & the writing engaging. Fantasy is a clear fave, though. Hard to say why. It's just where I've met my favourite characters to hang out with over the years most often.

#FantasyIndiesApril 3rd: What genres do I read? Fantasy, obvs. I am pretty boring like that. Also branch into Romance occasionally; I love a RomCom palette cleanser. Also a big fan of Iain (M.) Banks's fiction (contemporary, literary, etc) & SciFi. I love the occasional thriller. I love good story.
