I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be doing some more creative writing workshops at the Q-Station in the Sept. school holidays. We’ll explore the mysterious and haunted Q-Station on North Head hearing stories of ghosts and its grisly past, which will help to inspire a series of fun writing exercises designed to hone your skills…
I was asked this question by a student at a school visit this week, and my answer was to warn her about the dangers of plagiarism. But I realise now that there’s a whole lot more I could have said on this topic, and I hope this blog will be of benefit to students…

We meet every two…

So exciting: there’s a five star review in the Manly Daily today for my book on the little penguins of Manly: ‘They are unique, beautiful and vulnerable.
