So, I was reading this blog post by Kristen Lamb, and I got to thinking what a good exercise it would be to ask my own characters the questions near the bottom of the post. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve spent a whole book and nearly a half with these guys, I know them pretty […]

I’ve been a bit busy today, and didn’t get around to scheduling this, so it’s late… but here’s a Kiwi song from yesteryear… I highly recommend looking up “Donde Esta La Pollo” and “Mr Moon” by these guys, too… but I couldn’t find them on Youtube. If you’re a Kiwi artist and happen to stumble […]

An oldie, but a goodie. The Strawpeople, featuring Fiona McDonald, who was more well-known for her work with the Headless Chickens (another band I intend to showcase this month). This song itself isn’t in my writing playlist, but it certainly has a relevant title!

I know that if you hang out around my blog you probably like reading, or maybe music… hopefully both. In the spirit of encouraging the former (again), I’m going to shine my spotlight on fellow Kristell Ink author, Evelinn Enoksen’s recently released title Guardians of Evion. Here’s the good stuff: Numak believes his destiny is [...]

When I think of New Zealand music in the ’80s, I can’t go past this song: This song and the songs Dave Dobbyn did for the Footrot Flats movies…
