Rambles, Sage and Fairies
Hello from the hopeful side of winter! A quick little update on my latest writing endeavours: I recently published a short article about the Capital Ring walking trail in the February issue of New Nature Magazine.

The Krampus Collection
Thanks so much to everyone who sent through submissions for my ‘Krampus Crackers’ project with Tiny Owl Workshop. I loved reading the varied and fantastic stories Krampus inspired. It was hard to choose the final twelve, but I’m pleased to announce that the following stories will be appearing in Christmas crackers around Brisbane this December:…
