23.01.2022 Just like my 'Stuff They Don't Teach You At School' for young adults, Aleesah Darlison has compiled an article well worth reading that many of us authors contributed to titled 'What They Don't Teach You at Author School'! #authors #writing #creativewriting

23.01.2022 Auguri to my comparo, friend & fellow author Archie Fusillo on the release of his latest novel 'Trival Lores'. It has received amazing reviews! A moving and explosive tale about what happens when tradition and the need to belong collide.

21.01.2022 Happy International Womens Day: Women are losing almost twice as many jobs as men during Covid-19. The pandemic and uncertainties of 2020 caused one of the lowest times ever for me in my 20+ yrs literary journey (no school bookings, no literary events, reduced book sales, no avenues for me to express my creativity beyond my keyboard). But it allowed me the time to reflect and create covid related materials for future generations. I’m grateful for my family, friends & literary community who supported each other during those times. #WeCanDoIt together. #IWD2021 #AD @LinkedIn

17.01.2022 I created a meme in response to @annastaciamp interview this morning re Brissies Olympics bid. One of her statements was "by 2032 the international borders will probably reopen" This was the image created by my brain #2032olympics #brisbane #olympicsbid #creativethinker #comedywriter #abitoffun #memes #qldpremiere @brisbaneairport @visitbrisbane

12.01.2022 Even though I've done a not too shabby job on pitching my books last 20 yrs, Aussie comedian Tim Ferguson's 'How To Pitch Sitcoms & Movies' zoom workshop today was still beneficial as I Segway into the world of film & TV. #pitchperfect #sitcom #comedywriting

11.01.2022 I love the words Jetsam & Flotsam. Conjures up a seaworthy children's book idea.
