I’m heading out to a lovely little spot in Yarra Glen on Friday with my writing colleagues from the Melbourne Romance Writers Guild for our annual writing retreat. It’s a few days of hanging out with like-minded writers, gossiping and relaxing, and very possibly doing some actual writing. The schedule is pretty open, doing some sprints and low-key workshops, along with lots of social time. I’ll…

I may have mentioned that the last couple of years I’ve entered work into the Incognito Art Show, an Australian project aiming to help support arts organisations, provide pathways for emerging artists and inspire new artists and collectors alike. The idea is that you submit up to 3 artworks on the supplied A5 pages, and they are sold to fundraise. The twist is that they are advertised without the…

*and late March… It feels like it’s been a while since I last posted here. I’ve been very busy with various things, unfortunately not many of them were writing related. The end of March was an excellent time for me, with two big book signing/sales events: Clunes Booktown and Australian Romance Readers Association ‘A Romantic Rendez-vous‘. Clunes Booktown was a two day event were a huge number…

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I promise I’ve been very busy in the background. I was recently at a book fair held at Kryal Castle in Victoria. The setting was super fun, and a bit kitschy and the people there were ready to read! You might even call them voracious! I have a couple of photos of me there, kindly provided by Golden Wing Press. I will be at Clunes Booktown again this…

It feels super weird to write 2026. I feel old, and like the passage of time is going faster and faster. Each year I write a post about my goals for the upcoming year, you can read the break down of 2025’s goals and how I went with them on my recent post here. The last year I have been working on not taking on projects/responsibilities so I don’t overburden myself, but I was not very successful…

Well, it’s that time again where I take stock of the passage of time over the last year. It’s been a lot, I’ve done a lot of things, and I haven’t got around to a lot of things. Let’s look at the list of goals for 2025: Publish one book NaPoWriMo 2025 (April) Keep up the blog Craft projects, including crochet, painting, etc. Read 5 books Play music Focus on physical health/getting into…

The followup to my earlier San Destino novella, Pillion for a Police Officer, is out now. A Wolf of His Own follows Jason, a rookie cop, and Roman, a wolf-shifter barman, and their journey to love, fulfillment and community leadership. There’s a little bit of spice for this who like that sort of thing, a little bit of social justice, that’s mainly for me, and appearences from characters in the…

Some of my readers may remember that last year I did a 31 for 31 horror films in October, you can read about that here. Well I’ve done it again! This year I was a took slightly better notes, and I used Letterboxd to give the films ratings: Carrie (1976) – very fun, I’ve seen it before which I forgot, 5 stars. Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) – beautiful but bleak, 4 1/2 stars. Am I the pretty…

I can now announce that my new story, A Wolf of His Own, is set for release 15 November 2025. Set in the same magical town of San Destino, California, this story follows Jason Bell, a rookie cop trying to find his place, and Roman Eldritch, a bartender and wolf-shifter who has…

It has been a little while since I posted last. It’s winter here in Melbourne, and while it’s not cold enough for snow or anything, it’s still cold enough for me to want to stay inside with a knee blanket. I had a small launch celebration with some friends for the release of Carter and Carter Detective Agency. We did a murder mystery game that I bought from an Etsy store. It was set in a ski…

You heard it here first: I’ve written another branching narrative, in the style of Choose Your Own Adventure novels, and this time it’s a mystery! Louise and Megan Carter own and operate the Carter & Carter Detective Agency. They’re also sisters. Most of the time they work on affairs and insurance claims, but this story follows the sisters as they try to find missing person Penny Bean. What’s a…

The anthology is no longer available (it was a strictly limited release), but my novella is now available as a stand alone book, in both ebook and print versions. If you’d like to order an ebook copy, use the link here. If you would like signed print copies,…

It feels like it’s been a while since I checked in with this blog (though it was only a bit over a month ago). In the last few years I’ve been doing NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) in April. NaPoWriMo, led by Maureen Thorson, is inspired by NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) which traditionally happens in November, and the idea is to write a new poem every day in April. This year…
