Hello from Australia

Happy New Year!

2024 is upon us. I hope you had a great Christmas. Plenty of family time, good food and good times.

I certainly had all three

It’s Been Hot Here

It was 38.3 degrees here yesterday. The air conditioning was in overdrive.

In fact temperatures of 32 – 38 have hit us here in Brisbane for the past 3 weeks. Christmas day was 33 degrees.

I’ll be glad when these temps pass. With another day of storms coming, hopefully there’ll be a drop in our temperature.

But it’s not only me. UK is enduring flood, tornados and ice freezes.

The world is definitely changing

What’s Happening For Me In 2024

It’s time to role out my New Years Resolution. Hopefully it’ll last more than a week…..lol.

I’ll continue to improve my diet so my Type 2 diabetes improves. Diabetes is a silent killer and it can’t be left unmonitored. My doctor, clinical nurse and educator have me on a plan for success AND it’s working.

My results last quarter improved 30% of the previous quarter!

Writing in 2024

Writing will mostly focus on short reads. That’s how you and I got together. Your readership proppelled my books into the top 10 on Amazon. I often receive emails complimenting me on my short reads.

In 2023 I went away from this. I got into writing novels – 80,000 word chunkers. They were received……ok….. but not with the enthusiasm of my short books.

So it’s time to go back to my short sharp, punchy 35 – 65 page quick reads you can devour during lunch or on the train after work

With a Twist

A lot of you have asked me about writing books.

I’m no expert in this fiel but I am willing to recommend book writing coaches for you.

I’m better at book marketing – email marketing, social media posting, blogging etc

Crime Fiction shorts and ...

A few non-fiction books will be added to the mix. Nothing to heavy. Just light reads that have a message about topics I find helpful and hopefully you will too.

So let’s keep connected in 2024. What have you got planned?
