20.01.2022 Kids Fishing! a book about fishing for kids. The best part? It was written by eight-year-old Hailey Paxevanos (with a little bit of help from her dad). Pretty impressive, Hailey! My little fishermen love it. Take a look at the KidsFishing Facebook page or website: www.fishingaustralia.tv

09.01.2022 Love the opportunity to visit The Bookshop Darwin! Living on a remote island means not getting to browse shelves of 'real' books very often, it's so nice to get the chance. And of course I got to visit my books too. #theresacrocodileonthegolfcourse #loveyourbookshop #thebookshopdarwin #visitingthemainland

05.01.2022 Any young avid writers out there? This is available online, so perfect for Groote Eylandt teenagers (12 - 16 years).
05.01.2022 I was lucky to have the opportunity to work on this project with the Groote Eylandt Language Centre, in particular the amazing Judy Lalara. "Dangaba Dingarrbiya Golf Course Manja" is the translated Anindilyakwa version of my book. Check out the animated audio book on the Language Centre's webpage!
05.01.2022 I had a fantastic time at the Territory Read awards last night in Darwin. Congratulations to the winners - Mary Anne Butler won NT Book of the Year for her play 'Broken', Johanna Bell and Dion Beasley won the prize for Best Childrens / YA for 'Go Home Cheeky Animals', and finally Frank Byrne's 'Living in Hope' took the prize for Best Non Fiction. Such an inspirational group of writers. I feel very priviledged to have been shortlisted alongside them along with Charlie Ward and Sam Carmody. Back to Groote and back to work now! #ntwriterscentre #2018territoryreadawards #spicegarden #theresacrocodileonthegolfcourse
