Have you ever felt like you have no idea what you doing and someone is hitting you in the head with a shovel? Well, that’s me and Amazon ads, or as they are known, AMS. At some point in your career, every indie author just has to do it if they want to sell theContinue reading “Amazon Ads and Nightmares”

Those night’s intimate moments
I don’t think I can live through this embarrassment. Have you ever wondered where the misunderstanding tropes came from in the books? Yeah, you guessed from the author’s real life. Yesterday, I committed one that would be great if I wrote a contemporary romance. I was on the late shift. Shit hit the fan inContinue reading “Those night’s intimate moments”
Iceland – my dream come true
I love to scroll through TikTok and news articles first thing in the morning when we have time to relax in bed. Mark reads his manga comics and peeks over my shoulder when I watch any funny stuff I find. Today, the first thing I saw was news about an Icelandic town evacuated because ofContinue reading “Iceland – my dream come true”
Storms and a hot cocoa
The weather is fickle in Cornwall; we have deep autumn, and that means storms lash the shores with the regularity of the clock. I know some people hate it or even are afraid of it. I understand this completely. Bashing wind and pouring rain drive them mad. For me, it is one of the bestContinue reading “Storms and a hot cocoa”
They’ve groomed me well
As a happy owner of five cats I’ve always known I was the cats’ slave. There is no shame in it. One has to be mature enough to acknowledge their own desires and limitations in order to admit that one’s life is better when they truly give themselves over to cat slavery. I stopped resistingContinue reading “They’ve groomed me well”
The book is out and I’m out too
Magic and Medicine is out in the world and I feel so incredibly tired. I don’t know why, but it felt like like a marathon this time. Now I’m sitting and twiddling my thumbs, waiting for recommendations, reviews and, of course sales whilst working in the meantime at my normal doctor job. I once askedContinue reading “The book is out and I’m out too”
I think Mark was trying to kill me
He is a wonderful man who drives and picks me up from work each time I’m working late. Especially since the weather in Cornwall is challenging at best, and pouring rain happens more often than not. So yesterday, he came as usual, and I had loaded myself into a car. My head is still inContinue reading “I think Mark was trying to kill me”
The charm of Polish accent
Well, I had an embarrassing moment at work. I think it probably happens to all non-native speakers every once in a while, and today was my turn. It happens often to me and usually in the weirdest situations. I got used to not being able to pronounce ship/sheep/shit/sheet correctly, always wondering if what I’m sayingContinue reading “The charm of Polish accent”
‘We almost drowned.’
My life has been full of excitement lately, with the new book release, teenage stepdaughter, menopause… It is one helluva ride, and the only thing that gives my mind a bit of rest is writing a book and chatting with my mom on Messenger and listening to all the good stories about who died, whoContinue reading “‘We almost drowned.’”
Our Barcelona holiday
Sometimes you don’t realise how you need it untill you have it. After year of very intensive work, finishing series of books we were burnt out and barely had time for eachother. Barcelona was a revelation, beautiful (albeit very hot city), awesome food, friendly people made us very relaxed and ready to face another challange.Continue reading “Our Barcelona holiday”
