Book Launch: Morgana, My Queen
It’s been a while since I had a book launch, the last one I did was for my 2019 release, Discovering the Franklins (read about it here) and I thought I would try it again.
My upcoming release, Morgana, My Queen, is a collection of 5 horror novellas. I’m very proud of it and think it’s my best work to date.
Readers should be warned, they are quite scary (and surprising according to my editor and…

Write Poetry in April
The days are getting shorter again, and we’re about to change the clocks so that means it’s time to get into gear to write some poetry.
The last few years I’ve participated in NaPoWriMo (National/Global Poetry Writing Month). An initiative run by Maureen Thorson, to coincide with National Poetry Month (in the US and Canada). According to the Wikipedia, she started doing this in 2003, and is…

I'm on a boat!*
I recently went on a cruise for two weeks to New Zealand. It was pretty good, all in all. Here is a picture of me eating icecream for evidence.
Things I learned (fun):
trivia is life
karaoke comes a close second
sometimes walking in a straight line is just not going to happen
you can’t say Titanic into a microphone (same principle as the Scottish Play)
Titanic is the answer to 25% of trivia…

Difficult days
This weekend was weird.
There are a couple of contributing factors to why the weekend has been weird. 26 January is a hard day to sit with for me. It’s currently the official national day of Australia, but there are many who believe the day the European settlers landed and started their systematic destruction of the Indigenous population is perhaps not an appropriate day for celebration. It’s a…

Do you like scary stories?
If you said yes, I have good news for you. My new collection of horror novellas has a cover, and I can now reveal it to you.
Morgana, My Queen is a collection of five new horror novellas that will thrill and terrify any reader (content not suitable for children).
What if you found yourself in a relationship with a woman who was way out of your league? Sure she’s kind of goth, and might be into…

Bring on 2024!
I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve seen enough articles about how they don’t work, and I’ve seen how busy the gym is in January compared to other times of year to know resolutions are often abandoned. Instead, I like to write myself a list of goals that I can work towards in the year. Some of them I achieve, well most of them, but some I don’t because they turn out to be unaligned…

First day of summer?
I live in Melbourne, Australia, and it’s notorious for having quite changeable weather, and these last few weeks have been no exception. As I write this post I am looking out at grey skies, watching the trees whip around in the wind, and wondering if it will rain soon-some start to summer. On Monday it’s supposed to be high twenties and sunny. Here’s hoping the season isn’t too disastrous for…

Happy Birthday!
This week it’s my birthday-I’m turning 39, which feels old. At the same time, several people have said it seems young, so perhaps I’m biased by it being the oldest I’ve ever been.
I worked on my birthday, I guess I didn’t have to, but it seemed a waste of an annual leave day to take the day off. We went out for lunch, had a home-made cake (not made by me) for morning tea, and it was a generally…

Is this good tired?
This weekend I attended a writers retreat with members of the Melbourne Romance Writers Guild. We were in a house down on the beautiful, cold, rainy, Mornington Peninsula. Nineteen writers all together, inspiring each other and learning from one another. I came home today, and I’m super tired. Partially in the brain-full-of-new-information way, and partially in the physical way. Driving an hour…

30 Poems in 30 Days
And now it’s over again for the year. I managed to do all thirty, though not all on their allocated day. At least one I missed as I came down with the dreaded COVID about a week ago. Thankfully, I’m feeling much improved, though not quite back to previous levels of health.
I’m going to leave the poems to mature for a while before going back to revise them. I don’t know whether many of them will…

Simile
Write a poem
quick and dirty
Like sex pressed up
against a wall
Write a poem
sharp and punchy
Like noodle soup
with extra chilli
Write a poem
long and languorous
Like a hot bath at the
end of a long week
Write a poem
full of cliched similes
Like a children’s book
written for comfort.

NaPoWriMo 2023
People who have followed by blog for a while will know that I have done a NaPoWriMo a few times previously. The basic idea is that I write a poem every day for the month of April. The woman who started it, Maureen Thorson, provides prompts each day, but they’re optional, so sometimes I don’t use them.
I’ve come up with most of my poetry content using this one-month marathon for the last few…

Do you like audiobooks?
I’m pleased to say I’ve taken advantage of a new offering from Apple Books to have two of my novels read by their AI book narrators. See the links to these two books below:
My Mother’s Secret
Discovering the Franklins
I’m curious to see how these turn out, and would love for some of my readers to try them out. Feel free to send me some feedback.
There are a couple of other AI narration…
