March 2026 – Exciting Developments
My little dog, Pip, is recovering from an upset stomach and isn’t feeling as energetic as usual. So I am writing this with her sleeping on the bed beside me. March just flew by, and there are a few reasons for this. Besides my freelance day job and preparing Our Ways Unmasked for a proofread,…
February 2026 – Sequel Cover Reveal
Presenting the sequel to Far Removed, which is titled, Our Ways Unmasked. Finally, I no longer need to refer to it only as “Book 2”. We get to see a bit more of our mask-wearing protagonist in this artwork. The wings in the “W” of “Ways” may have a few layers of meaning. Does anyone…
January 2026 – Planned Releases
While 2025 was an uneventful year on the surface, there was a lot happening in the engine room of my brain and on my computer hard drives. This year, I get to share the results with you all. The Apidecca Duology began in 2019 as an idea. The nonhuman characters and the moon that had…
Coe’s Oddly Specific Book Awards
So many indie books are brimming with imagination. It is time that they are recognised for the things that are outlandish, unexpected, and oddly-specific to them. As we bring 2025 to a close, I’m dishing out my fun awards to a small selection of the indie books I’ve read this year. What stood out to…
November 2025 – I’m Back with Stories to Tell
Thank you for joining me through the ups and downs of 2025. I will reflect on the year (and the books I’ve read) in more detail later. For now, let me catch you up on what I’ve been up to during my blog’s hiatus these past few months. Interactive Short Story: Little Bead in a…
August 2025 – A Pause in the Blog
For the next 2 months, I am going to be taking a break from this blog. I have fun writing these posts, but they take me about 6 hours on a weekend to complete. Hours that could be spent preparing my sequel for beta readers in November (among other things). I tend to hyperfocus when…
July 2025 – Recovery, Wraiths and Cover Reveals
After last month, some of you may want updates on my burns (because you are nice like that). I will save that for the end of this month’s blog post. In the meantime, I have a lot of bookish news to share. In June, I was invited to join Willow Wraith Press. ‘What is Willow…
June 2025 – A Shock to the System
This month’s blog is not going to be writing-related. Sometimes real-life events can be every bit as outlandish as fictional adventures. Some of you know that my mum and I live on the same property. We bought the place with joint resources and have separate living areas. Last night, I heard my mum shouting in…
May 2025 – Upcoming Releases
I am deep in edits this weekend. There are certainly tantalising bits of world-building I could share, but they’ll take too long to write about. Instead, I’d like to direct you to some indie books coming out in June.
April 2025 – Remember to Breathe
If I allow myself to skip posting or writing for a day or two, I will still love writing next year. If I let myself worry about falling short of ambitious goals, I could burn out.
