Upcoming Events!

First up! Next Tuesday I'll be talking with fellow Indie Author Anthony Thorogood about what it's like to be an Indie Author, the writing process, and of course, our books! That's happening at the Launceston Library, 1-2pm on March 25th. Then in April it's time for the Tasmanian Indie Author's 6th Annual Book Fair!! I'll … Continue reading Upcoming Events!

Coming Soon!

For twenty-five years Klaria has been trapped in human form. Has the time finally come for her to go home? I'm so excited to announce that my short story 'Klaria's Battle' (previously published in 'Cancer: Speculative Fiction Inspired by the Zodiac' and 'Wandering Stars: The Best of the Zodiac Series') is now available for pre-order … Continue reading Coming Soon!

August News

Welcome to September! This month I have another acceptance to announce - 'What He Deserves' was accepted into Black Hare Presses 'Dark Moments' collection. It will be published online sometime later in the year (and mentions a bit of cartomancy - hence the playing cards image). I've still been working on a problematic story... *sigh* … Continue reading August News

July News

Photo by Skitterphoto on Pexels.com Once again the month has flown by. I haven't been doing quite so much writing this month, mostly labouring on an old story I'd love to have published but just can't get right. However, I do have another acceptance to share! My story, 'Raven's Sacrifice', has been accepted into the … Continue reading July News

June News

I'm still struggling with the fact I'm even writing a summary for June already - surely I've got a few weeks to go before I need to do this?? June absolutely flew by, but my biggest news of the month was the publication of my short story 'Klaria's Battle', in the 'CANCER: Speculative Fiction inspired … Continue reading June News

May News

This month has had some particularly difficult moments, and I'm not going to say more about that, except that you should *always* trust your instincts! I originally intended to take part in Ray Daley's story submissions challenge (if you missed my last post the aim of the challenge was to submit a story a day). … Continue reading May News

Book Review – Catching Teller Crow by Ambelimn Kwaymullina and Ezekiel Kwaymullina

  There is so much to love about this story, and if I may be a bit geeky, the title is one of those things. It's so clever, because while the title as a whole makes sense, each word in the title is also the name of a character. Beth Teller is the first character … Continue reading Book Review – Catching Teller Crow by Ambelimn Kwaymullina and Ezekiel Kwaymullina

Book Review – Just One Word, Just One Smile by Tony Caplice

  This is a bit different to my usual read. I don't usually read memoir, but I've heard Tony talk about his book a couple of times now, and he read a section of his book out at the Little Laneway Festival, in November last year, and I had to read more. The story is … Continue reading Book Review – Just One Word, Just One Smile by Tony Caplice

Tamar Valley Writers Festival 2018 -Schools Program

Welcome to my very belated post about the Tamar Valley Writers Festival! After a busy start to September with the opening of The People's Library, and my reading from 'What the Tides Bring', followed a week later by the writers festival, I fell ill and spent the last two weeks of the month fighting off … Continue reading Tamar Valley Writers Festival 2018 -Schools Program

In the news!

September is over all ready, and so is The People's Library, which closed it's doors yesterday after a packed month of readings and performances and digesting 113 books by Tasmanian authors. I spent the last two weeks of the month feeling ill and sorry for myself, and almost a week of that unable to talk … Continue reading In the news!
