  • The Business Card of Dreams

    This little sweetie will be coming with me to Kid Lit Vic, this year. A children’s book conference, where picture book writers and Illustrators gather to, not only learn a thing or two, but to pitch our hearts work to… Continue reading

  • A New Chapter and What Comes Next

    I’ve written once a day for a month. It’s been so, so lovely to have this place back in my life, again. To have you all back in my life, again. It feels different. Good different, but different all the… Continue reading

  • Kids

    I’ve had my computer snatched up by a nine year old, and I’m writing this on my phone. It’s never the same, writing from a tiny little screen, without that perfect ‘tap of keys’ feeling. The kids had their cross… Continue reading

  • It Was The Book That Changed Me. Now, I Don’t Know How to Feel.

    I was transfixed, sitting inside the magical world it had taken me to. My teacher had read it perfectly, every line was an invitation, every word was so beautiful I could have listened to her all day. The book was… Continue reading

    I’m watching it right now, and wow. Stephen Spielberg just spoke about how, after John wrote the music for his first film (The Sugarland Express), he vowed to use John for every single film he would ever make. Isn’t that… Continue reading

  • Unwell

    I wasn’t going to write. I’m beyond unwell, but Panadol and Nurofen are keeping my temperature down, so I’ve got some moments. It’s truly a wonder, the beauty of empathy. My little four year old, I’m certain, will be a… Continue reading
