So our big Disney adventure starts in two weeks, which I'm quite excited about, as is someone coming to housesit and get some painting done, so that's also awesome. The eldest is on holiday with his girlfriend right now, the youngest leaves tomorrow for two weeks with...
I love making quotables on my phone - I use a couple of apps and post them at night while getting ready for bed and winding down. If I've made a lot, I queue them up to post later in the evening. I love the quotes I've found, so there are a couple that are different...
So, I mentioned lots of little side projects before the New Year kicked off, and I'm finally getting around to putting up official signup forms. First though - I'm still in the process of trying to change things permanently, but these projects are basically where I...

Cheating slightly today, but it says it far better than anything I've tried to write today. This is a reprint of an article available on the marketing company I co-own, The Finishing Fairies. The three pillars of basic indie promotion I explain it a bit more in one of...
No way I could have completed a blog challenge and not use K to talk about Kindle and Kindle Direct Publishing. But I'm not going to talk about it's merits. What I'm going to talk about instead are a couple of hacks people seem to be missing when using it....
