I got a phone call from my mother at 11:50 last night. Naturally I assumed someone had died. Answered it with a cool calm I didn’t know I was capable of. (Would I have made an excellent hit woman? Alas, we’ll never know.) (Actually, I think I can guess. The answer is no.) But […]

I’m performing book necromancy. Totally a thing. Shhhh. You may have noticed that the Damned Girl books are no longer available. I’ve had nearly ten people ask me about this in the two (three?) years the series has been out of print, so clearly it’s a hot topic. Thank you to those of you who

What, like I was meant to NOT buy this tea? (It’s delicious, FYI. Like hot cross buns in liquid form. But without weird soggy bread chunks.) I’m back from my mini holiday in the land of bad internet (aka my parents’ place), so if you’ve been waiting for a reply from me, this time

Yep! I’m working on Not A Clue! More than that, I’m 70% of the way through! [Cue celebratory music and champagne corks popping and piglets snorting with joy.] Now all I have left to write is the whole wrap-up-the-mystery part. It always feels kind of unfair when I get to this part of a book.
Surprise: I’ve been writing the new Charlie Davies book! Read More »
Firstly, I feel like I need to point out: that photo above is weirdly faded. Our couch is not just… covered in dirt and scunge. (Well, not that much, at least.) So for my birthday, Alexi/Leako drew me a picture based on this photo… And it’s a masterpiece. I hope you enjoy this as much

In a startling turn of events, I changed my mind about what to work on today. Now I’m back to writing Fang It (the first Isla Slaine, Vampire Barista book). In yet another startling turn of events, I decided to scrap the first twenty thousand words. BUT the new idea is so much cooler. Here’s the

One great thing about writing a series called Keely South’s Boozy Mysteries? Drinking cocktails counts as research. See the above Blue Lagoon for evidence of how dedicated I am to my writing. As of yesterday, I’m about 6000 words in to Tall Drink of Slaughter and I have about two thirds of the book outlined.

Hello, my lovelies! Let’s get down and datey. Standard reminder that you shouldn’t read Date Night unless you’ve finished Breaking News or you’re going to get smacked in the face with spoilers.

It’s the second day of the daily blog and I’m writing this at thirteen minutes to midnight. Classic Clarey. I was going to post a new chapter of Date Night tonight, buuuut… (I bet you’ve already guessed where this is going.) I got distracted. HOWEVER, it’s the kind of distraction you’re going to like, I
Yep, I’m blogging again! I started writing this post with my morning coffee (at 12:33 in the afternoon… my version of morning) because I figured if I write a blog each day while I have my coffee I’ll be less likely to forget to do it. Brilliant, right? (OK, ‘brilliant’ might be overreaching. A kind
