QUESTION

So many times I've stumbled and fallen through my days,
having to hide my thoughts and cast them away.
The thought of you tears at me, my heart always aches.
Only to remember we are strangers and longing turns to self hate.

I want to cry, I want to smile,
to believe there was a reason,
for my thoughts of you to change with the seasons.

Is this fate, the universe, telling me to wake up?

- K.P. from my upcoming novel Melody.

Killing time writing poetry

Rockstars & Photographs
I'm ashamed of myself, my hate, your lies.
I'm gonna take down the wall that hides whats inside.
I hate for you to see the truth, but I'm not what you think.
Can you see my heart.
You've seen inside my head, a picture, a song, you and me,
We're worlds apart.
You say we are friends, but you are a liar.
Do you think I can't feel, that I'm not real.
Can you hear my heart.
I'd fall at your feet.
Just say the word.
I'm listening.
- Zach McCloud, frontman of Sinners, taken from my novel Rockstars & Photographs.

Weekend reading



Holidays are the perfect excuse for reading!

 It's the weekend here in Australia and you know what that means, well to most people, it's public holiday's, lazing around and taking a break from the rat race.

As much as I would like to join you all in relaxing and chillin' out - that's not how my brain works. Being a writer means I'm always in work mode.   I never know what will inspire me to write, but writing everyday is something that's a given.  I do try to work it in around my sewing, house, custom order work but sometimes the need to write takes over and words start tumbling out & the washing sits unfolded in the corner, my family are left to hunt for their food themselves.

But if you aren't a writer but love to read then you can read to your hearts content this long weekend.

Whether it be a paperback or a kindle, a phone or a tablet, what matters is the story you are delving into, the characters you are bringing to life.
So grab that coffee or wine, or that Easter egg you've been trying not to eat - and read.

If you love a quick read Crash is the book for you - get the e-book here from Lulu.com

"Is love at first sight real? Abbey knew she had met the love of her life the second she saw him, everything just fell into place until the universe steps in. Fate will decide who lives, who loves and who dies in this modern day Romeo & Juliet."

If you are more of a novel kind of person the Rockstars & Photographs is a music inspired story set against the London city scene & an Australian summer - you can get the e-book here from Lulu.com 

"Sarah has the music world at her feet. An up and coming photographic journalist revered in the touring world. By the age of twenty-four, she had traveled and seen so much of the world through her camera lens, then she ever thought she would. She'd scored the ultimate job with one of London's biggest bands - Sinners. Tension and tempers run high as she clashes with the arrogant, self-involved lead singer. Three more months and the threat of potential disaster loomed, Sarah wonders if Zach will derail her life, or could he just be, her saving grace?"

You can also get a free chapter from my upcoming novel The Night Room here.

"Aidan has lost everything she ever cared about - her family, her friends, her music, her life.  With nothing left to live for, each day gets harder and harder.  Until she meets Riley.  He forces her to live, to deal with her new life and even maybe to love.
She wonders if maybe she can salvage something good from her ruined life, after all.  But death isn't done with her yet."

I hope you all have a fabulous long weekend, read lots & take a well earned break.
