20.01.2022 Bite-sized Reading Time review of The Erasure Initiative by Lili Wilkinson (published by Allen & Unwin). A gripping thriller that had me hooked from page one.... I found myself trying to figure out who they were and how they got there, just like the characters themselves. Personally, I loved the depth of the characters and how realistic their actions seemed. Shocking plot twists thrilled me, as my whole concept of the characters were turned upside down, as they were for the characters themselves. Heading to the Reading Time website for the full review by Libby Boas: http://readingtime.com.au/the-erasure-initiative/ #cbcareview #readingtime #theerasureinitiative #LoveOzYA

19.01.2022 Attention Brisbane people...

19.01.2022 This rambunctious puggle is one of the main characters of a book I’m working on right now and I think he’s my new favorite ever character to draw. Couldn’t have done it without the parallel antics of my own 3yo son close at hand. So much my life right now.
