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.

Books about trees, chimpanzees & National Parks
Hello…I’m here again…dropping in to talk about books and nature, my two favourite things.

But they’re featuring my story ‘Rocky’–about a stolen parrot–over the next four fantastic issues. Check out Part I in Issue 31 here. Reading at June’s ‘Whispers’…

SPUN.
If you live in Brisbane and you like stories, you need to know about Yarn. NO SILLY, not that kind of yarn. Cats love this Yarn better, seriously. I’m talking about Yarn: stories spun in Brisbane, the bi-monthly storytelling event series held in bars and cafes around our beautiful city. Inspired by the New York-based The…

Hot Key Books Young Writers Prize Shortlist
Another bit of cool news–my manuscript for young adults, The Button Makers, has been shortlisted for the Hot Key Books Young Writers Prize 2013. This is something I’ve been working on since 2009, so if you’ve talked to me about writing in any capacity over the last four years, you’ve probably heard me mutter a little…
