10.01.2022 Excerpt from 'Alcheringa Snow'. As read by Francine the Pyrenean mountain dog to Alex the Pyrenean...
07.01.2022 Still working on Fantazma's Dream illustrations...am now well over half-way through the book! Loads of work in this book, but I'm enjoying the journey for sure!
06.01.2022 Another double spread for Fantazma's Dream ALMOST finished. The children with their pet dog Milo, float into the garden and space...
04.01.2022 The portrait of Stuart is finally complete and at the NSW Art Gallery, along with many hundreds of others, waiting for selection. Fingernail chewing time. Even though my portrait probably won't be successful, Stuart has kindly agreed to purchase it and I will give that money to his chosen charity. This, I think, is a great win for all of us; better than any art prize
02.01.2022 Onto page 85 of my YA series, 'Where is DorothyOz?' Another 50 pages to go and the first book of the series, 'The Timeless Place' will be finished. Then...it's onto the 2nd book beginning of next year...Yippee!
01.01.2022 It's been a very difficult year for the world, as well as the Danes. Despite that, the Crown Prince and Princess have managed to receive their copy of Alcheringa Sunshine! Next year, when Alcheringa Rain is finally released, the Danish royals will have their full set! Overjoyed that they have their small 'piece of Australia'!
