It’s nice having travelling friends who snap pictures of my book in the wild. My buddy Bec spotted it in Eason bookstore in Killarney, Ireland. ☘️ Shout out to any readers there 👋 The “book thing” feels a world and a lifetime away down here in Australia.
Last night I hit send. My new kidlit project, all wide-eyed and gussied up, is sitting in my agent’s inbox. It’s morning now, and I know it’s ridiculous to hope for a reply this soon, but it’s so damn nerve-racking waiting & wondering if I’ll get to do another book. Send 🍩 or encouragement, pls.
Thrilled to have been a part of the Historical Novel Society Australasia Conference on the weekend in Sydney. I spoke on a panel about making history engaging for young readers with Susanne Gervay, Suzanne Leal & Amelia Mellor, winner of the HNSA ARA prize (CYA) #HNSAConference2023
The things you do as a kids’ book author, like stalking a random Pug owner in the park & begging for pics. It was for #internationalpugday and to celebrate Bosco the royal (historical) pug in my book, HER MAJESTY’S LEAGUE OF REMARKABLE YOUNG LADIES. Now, Show me your pug!
