Yesterday (Thursday) I did something that had been on my to-do list for months. I signed up for a Kobo Writing Life account. I have been working towards this moment since late last year. The first title I am going to re-publish, though, is The Wilted Rose, my very first book. The Inspired by a true... Continue Reading →
This year one of my goals was to study. My experiences with traditional education haven't been great. I experienced learning difficulties throughout my schooling, which caused me to create a lot of negative stories about the education system. I did not finish high school and before now have not undertaken any tertiary education since I... Continue Reading →
Gawd, computers! Mine will be the death of me!! Yesterday I started the rewrite of my book Paid To Dance: Asha's Story Part Two, but all the technical issues I've had the past 24 hours, I've been wondering if it was a sign that I shouldn't be doing this rewrite!! Since early December the File... Continue Reading →
We are not two weeks into 2020 and my writing goals have already changed... Well, changed back really. To my original writing goals for the first quarter of the New Year. I had originally planned to hit the New Year running with a rewrite of my book Paid To Dance: Asha's Story Part Two. Then... Continue Reading →
It is 10.22pm here in Queensland on Australia's east coast, and I've just finished writing the first two scenes of a brand new short story/novella (not sure what it will end up being yet). A prequel to my suburban noir short story The New Neighbors. As any introvert could agree, Christmas is a draining time,... Continue Reading →
I'm working on a prequel to my short story 'Grave Bargains' at the moment. Its a novella called 'Bedouin Boy'. I started this project out of irritability and boredom. It was early December. I'd just finished NaNoWriMo, and I needed something to tide me over until the New Year when I would resume normal programming... Continue Reading →
Or at least I have been. Until now. For as far back as I can remember I have felt ashamed of who I am. About the things that make me who I am. For the things I want- to travel the world and write- or don't want- to study, establish a career, settle down. What... Continue Reading →
Hi all, Apologies that this blog has been quiet over the past month or so. As many of you are aware, about two years ago I was unfortunate enough to be barred for life from using Kindle Direct Publishing to publish and distribute my books. This was a heartbreaking time for me, as I was,... Continue Reading →
Making the decision not to have children has been the most life-altering choice I've ever made. Upon making my decision I didn't feel the need to fly it as a flag of pride and empowerment- in fact, I felt anything but empowered! It has been f*&king hard, and I've lost a lot because of it....

As many of you already know, in March of this year, my long term relationship ended, and with it my time living on the Gold Coast. For two years I had been caring for my fiancé, who suffered a debilitating back injury at work in January 2017. I thought the past 24 months had been... Continue Reading →
