Hello my little chickadees

In case you've forgotten what I look like

Well it's coming up towards the end of January 2016 and I haven't even put the washing on yet! Or for that matter got rid of the winter cobwebs.

You know the type, when the spider sits in the corner of the ceiling watching you demolish all of his hard work. What does he do about it? The little 'tinker' waits 'til I turn my back and then starts again. There comes a point when I think "you know what? You have your fun while I'm sitting here writing." Then I get so involved in my plot lines and research I forget about him. Eventually we come to a mutual agreement. He doesn't build them at face level and I leave him to his own thing. I used to have a huge one that used to pop out in the evening to say hello. I called him Arthur and he lived under the fire grate. He's gone to spider heaven now. My friend was frightened by him and 'disposed' of him outside. Poor Arthur... She 'fessed up days later when I mentioned him.

Anyway I digress. Lately I have been writing again. The genre is crime thriller and it involves an assassin who also has a day job. That's all I'm saying but I'm enjoying writing it. The research for his different methods of killing is interesting but tiring at times. I'm beginning to feel like Agatha Christie and Miss Marple. Actually part of it may well be set in the Caribbean (for Miss Marple fans) The remainder is set around London and Europe. Oh and it will be a full length novel this time I hope. We'll see.

I got royalties recently $1.11 Actually this means that three people bought my book between December and January. When you consider how many million books there are on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Nook etc that's quite something. The thing is of course many readers wait until they're free downloads which happens from time to time. I have no problem with that at all, however a review in a couple of words on Amazon or Barnes and Noble would be wonderful. Think about it... when you buy any item, don't you check out the reviews first? I do and I'm guided by that quite often. The good thing about books on line is that you can have a quick read of several pages before you buy. So the next time you buy any books regardless of who wrote it, please take a couple of minutes to write that review. Just log in, search for the book and let your fingers do the talking. Something as simple as 'I would recommend this book to other readers' is enough. There are even step by step instructions.

A couple of years ago SOULFATE actually got to #3 in it's genre, which is absolutely phenomenal since I've only been writing seriously since 2011.

Since then of course I've been interviewed by an American Publicist, TV Personality at Highlight Hollywood. He read and enjoyed A Russian Gift of Love then approached me! I in turn spun on a penny when he agreed to give me an interview. Listen folks, this guy just doesn't give interviews. "I turn them down daily Tee but for you I'll do it!" Did I also say one of his clients is Leonardo Di Caprio. No? One among many.

I also have another exclusive interview to do of a Hollywood star and producer when his film is finished. Watch out for that one. Probably not too far into the future.

So then that's me up to date. I haven't blogged me for ages, so I thought it was about time :-)

Thanks for popping over. I'll put the kettle on next time or open a bottle of something.

Hello my chickadees

It's a given that I'm totally bananas. What if you put me in a room with another crazy woman from OZ and an alcoholic crocodile called Cyril who wears Armani suits occasionally ? Um...this actually...

Tee ... Soooz, welcome! and Cyril of course. It's lovely to have you both here.

Soooz ...Thanks, Tee. It's been a while. I'm delighted to be here.

Cyril ... I'm wearing Armani. Will there be Pictures?

Tee ... Well, no, Cyril. However, there will be many interesting questions.

Cyril ... I could have just worn jeans. I thought we would at least have one picture of me.

Soooz ... Cyril! ... You promised me that you would behave.

Tee ... You do look very fetching, Cyril and I’m sure we’ll be able to include a picture of you somewhere.

Cyril ... Of course I do, but I don't fetch. I'm not a canine, unless it's food of course or ... alcohol.

Tee ... Let's get down to the questions, shall we?

Soooz ... Ask away Tee.

Cyril ... Sigh. If we must.

Tee ... So, Soooz, what have you been writing recently?

Soooz ... I've had a marvelous time, writing Mystery/Suspense Thrillers...all with heavy psychological overtones.

Cyril ... Not one of them includes me. I'm mysterious and thrilling, and heavy on the Psycho.

Tee ... Um ... yes. Cyril perhaps you would like to recline on that sofa over there while you digest your lunch. So, Soooz, tell us a little more about your latest book.

Soooz ... It revolves around serial murders.

Cyril ... I need a drink. Make it beer.

Tee ... I have Merlot. Will that suffice?

Cyril ... Is that booze?

Tee ... Booze? Well, yes, yes it is.

Cyril ... So, are you going to join me, you little English person?

Tee ... I'd be delighted.

Cyril ... Great! Make mine a pint.

Soooz ... I don't think that's such a great idea, Cyril. I need you to behave.

Tee ... Oh I'm sure he'll be fine.

Cyril ... I'm beginning to warm to this woman.

Tee ... Thank you, Cyril. You’re pretty cute yourself.

Cyril ... Yes, I am. Hey, this stuffs not bad. Merlin huh?

Tee ... It's, Merlot, actually.

Cyril ... Seriously? ... So what was Arthur's real name?

Tee ... Arthur?

Cyril ... Okay, so that stays the same. Why did they change the name of the Wizard?

Tee ... The Wizard?

Cyril ... Hello! I thought you were from England?"

Tee ... I am indeed.

Cyril ... Aren't you lot the people that started that entire 'Sword in the Stone' thingy?

Tee ... "Camelot?"

Cyril ... I thought you said it was Merlot Merlin. Anyways we spell it differently. It's Come not Came.

Soooz ... Cyril! Enough already!

Tee ... Oh, my. You are wicked, Cyril.

Cyril ... Let's raise a Merlin to wickedness!

Tee ... I, well ... it is early, however, you are my guest, so one more won't hurt.

Cyril ... I'll drink to that! Hell, I'll drink to anything, just name it!

Soooz ... You'll always drink to any damned thing, Cyril.

Cyril ... That’s what I just said. And who forgot to take her Xanax this morning?

Soooz ... And just who got me started on needing Xanax?

Cyril ... See, you take so much of the stuff you can't remember!

Tee ... Oh, my word!

Cyril ... Your words good enough for me, precious. Another drinky?

Tee … Thank you Cyril I don’t mind if I do. Cheers! How did you get through customs by the way?

Cyril … I disguised myself as a shoulder bag and Soooz carried me through.

Soooz ... Shoulder bags are not meant to talk back, Cyril! That customs officer was very suspicious. I thought I was going to get stopped.

Cyril … She was quite cute. I wouldn’t have pushed her off my dinner plate.

Soooz … Cyril!! I thought I had cured you of that.

Cyril … Old habits die hard. I often fancy the odd human leg or arm at times. In fact Tee looks quite tasty if I’m honest.

Tee …

Soooz … Cyril do I have to remind you that we’re guests here? Now lay there quietly while I talk to Tee.

Cyril …

Tee … Now Soooz where were we? Oh yes psychological thrillers, mystery and suspense. Tell me more about it while Cyril’s asleep.

Soooz … Well, they appear to be about the FBI chasing down a serial killer, who…

Cyril ... A cereal, killer. Grunt...what did they use? A spoon.

Tee ... Oh you are a caution, Cyril.

Soooz ... Now there's an apt description.

Cyril ...Yes, I am descriptive. Um...what's descriptive?

Tee ... The ability to describe.

Cyril ... Oh, yeah... they took away my license to do that. Now I have to go to a real Doctor.

Soooz ... Cyril! You know damned well what the difference is between described and prescribed.

Cyril ... Two letters of the alphabet?

Tee ... I don't quite, follow.

Cyril ... Yes, I've always been more of a leader myself.

Tee ... Yes, well...moving right along, Soooz you were saying?

Soooz ... I was endeavoring to say...

Cyril ... I know that one! It was the ship that Captain Crook used to discover Australia!

Tee ... That would be Cook, Cyril dear.

Cyril ... I don't care what it would be. It just is.

Tee ... I think I may need another glass of Merlin...er ... Merlot!

Cyril ... Bottoms up, precious. Or any other part of your cute British anatomy.

Soooz ... Cyril, you are going to drive me to drink...again.

Cyril ... Shortest trip ever!

Tee ... I see, um, let's try to get back on track, shall we?

Cyril ... I'm so good at tracking. Even though I'm not a dog.

Soooz ... My apologies, Tee.

Cyril ... And so you should.

Soooz ... I swear, I'm going to have you made into a shoulder bag!

Cyril ... Oh! That wasn't a nice thing to say to, the-oh-so- cute British Person! I may just need another pint or so of Merlin to recover!

Soooz ... Oh, crap! I give in.

Cyril ... Apparently very easily. But of course, that may be just a nasty rumour.

Tee ... Oh, dear.

Cyril ... Yes your right Tee. She charges quite a bit, so I'm told.

Tee ... Perhaps I should wrap this up?

Cyril ... Oh, gift wrapping! A present for, moi? You really should have. I like the Merlin. A dozen or so bottles may see me through till breakfast.

Soooz ... Tee, my dear, I'll just send you the links shall I? I think I had better leave, now. Before I do something, I'll regret. I would love it, if you could do the same. I think I will need something on the plane to take my mind off committing Homicide.

Cyril ... <Singing off key>...'Regrets I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.

Tee ... Oh, really? Well dear, if you really, really, must. I'm going to have another, Merlin, or six.

Cyril ... Still singing...'Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew, when I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all when there were doubts, I'd eat it up and spit it out." Oh ... I'd never spit! It's just so uncouth.

Tee … Quite right too Cyril. It’s illegal to spit in the street in England.

Cyril … I love the English Tee. I think you should come back with us.

Tee … Oh Cyril you’re so cute when you’re being nice.

Soooz … That’s a first for Cyril. Maybe I’ll leave him here and save myself the hassle of traveling back with him.

Cyril … You don’t love me any more! I’m crushed you know I love you more than I love myself. Besides you taste better.

Tee … More Cyril Merlot? … Er… I mean more Merlot Cyril?

Cyril … Lovely Tee and make it a bottle this time will ya. It saves keep stopping for refills.

Soooz … Well I think that just about wraps it up Tee.

Cyril hits the floor wasted.

Tee … Is he ok Soooz?

Soooz … He’ll be fine. Now how about your links?

Tee … Here they are.

Cyril … …. It's a beautiful night,

we're looking for something dumb to do. Hey Tee, I think I wanna marry you. Is it the look in your eyes, Or is it this dancing juice? Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you….

Soooz … It’s ok Tee he’s drunk. He won’t remember.

Tee … Oh great! The only marriage proposal I get in years and it’s from a drunken croc.

Soooz … Don’t take it personally Tee. He proposes to the postie back home on a regular basis.

Tee … What’s she like?

Soooz … He’s got a beard and his name is Johno! Well we’d better make our way to that plane. I’ll hoist him back on my shoulder and hope to god he doesn’t wake up. I’ll feed him some of my Xanax. That should keep him out of it especially with all the Merlot he’s consumed.

As I waved them goodbye I did wonder if I would ever see that cute little reptile in the Armani suit again. I suppose there’s always Skype to fall back on.
