The Life and Times of Chester Lewis
Today I’m over chatting to Steve at Aus Lit about the integrated short-stories which form The Life and Times of Chester Lewis. When Steve invited me to be part of the project I had no idea what the end result would be. I hadn’t written short stories since high school but I was up for Continue reading
Contracted to a new life!
Phew! What a week! It’s taken me until today to get my feet back on the ground and life sort of back in control. Champagne all round 🙂 Penguin Australia will be publishing my fourth book – title something like ‘Dangerous Truth’- in July next year. I’m looking forward to seeing where Ali Watts will Continue reading
RuBYs and Diamonds
I’m exhausted, I’m uplifted, I’m smiling, I’m suffering brain overload, I’m inspired and I’m finally home. That can mean only one thing – I’ve been to the RWA Diamonds Are Forever conference on the Gold Coast. Every year it gets better and this was no exception. The fact a professional organistation like RWA is run Continue reading
What’s important?

Cooktown Charm

Neither had I until yesterday, but apparently they’re as much fun, only different, as a ‘wet t-shirt competition.’ When I made the long trek north to Cooktown to run a one day writing workshop for Queensland Writers Centre I was expecting to meet some interesting people and Continue reading

Thursday night I was in Mareeba chatting to the friendly folk at the library. Thanks to Wendy, Francis and the team for their welcome. I loved the display they’d put together! The Border Continue reading
Coffs and Bello
Coffs and Bello? Sounds like I’ve got a bad chest cold when in fact I’ve just had the most wonderful couple of days in Coffs Harbour and Bellingen. It started with chauffeur drive pick up from Coffs Harbour. Wagtail Cottage B&B is gorgeous, but add in the wonderful host, Jenn and Jeanette, plus Daiquiri and Continue reading
Water therapy
The last two days have been hard graft, especially since I’ve been swanning around as a writer for two weeks. Seems the universe thinks I need another career… I’ve always loved gardening and I do enjoy making a house and gardens shine, but when the real estate agent suggested cleaning the fences to make it Continue reading
Penguins in Cheltenham?
Yep! There were two. My gorgeous publisher from Penguin Australia, Ali Watts, came with me to Cheltenham library! I started the day with a very civilised breakfast at The Hotel Windsor, feeling as though I’d stepped back in time. Next it was off to Camberwell where Ali gave me a tour of the Penguin Australia Continue reading
