Getting back to writing
A couple of months ago, my kids and I moved out of Melbourne to live in Gippsland. A month ago, my younger son had his tonsils out. With all of this going on, there hasn't been a whole lot of time for writing. The house is mostly unpacked now, I just have my office to...
Event with Sisters in Crime
Yesterday, I went to an amazing event at the Traralgon Library with the Sisters in Crime. This was part of the Mystery and History tour with L.J.M. Owen and Lindy Cameron. It was a fantastic event and I came away with pages of tips on my iPad, as well as winning the...
What I’ve Read – July 2018
Welcome to August! Most of July was spent moving and getting settled into our new house as well as juggling jobs in both Traralgon and Melbourne. Most of the completed books on my list have been audio books, picture books, and chapter books. I’m finding that audio...

Book planning with a difference
Usually I'm more of a 'write by the seat of your pants' kind of author. I recently came up with a story idea that would require a bit more planning than usual, mostly in the form of a map and some cool creatures. Naturally, there will be other information to plan,...
What I’ve Read – April 2018
April was an interesting month for us, along with Easter and school holidays, my older son was weaning off his pain medication in preparation for treatment for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. I started the month feeling a bit off and not able to read much, so I...
What I’ve Read – March 2018
March has been a pretty crazy month, leaving me without much energy, even for reading! I finished reading The King’s Concubine by Anne O’Brien with days so spare. It wasn’t that I didn’t enjoy the story or want to know what happened next, it was more that I was too...
