Looking for historical fiction? I devoured my Mother’s Day gift prize of “The Chocolate Factory” and “The Jam Maker” (on audio) from Mary-Lou Stephens and can’t pick a favourite of the two! So compelling I haven’t consumed the Cadbury chocolates yet (tray under may not be full…)

Leah Kaminsky’s “disorders of the blood” is a treasure. @leahkam is a magician with words, drawing on the deepest humanity and reality. See my full review on goodreads.com/book/show/2193…
Wonderful intelligent conversation between @TessWoodsAuthor and @BatgirlElimy about Tess’s superb novel, The Venice Hotel - full house!
PS look out for Emily’s novel in April 2025!

“Genocide in the Wildflower State” covers very confronting aspects of WA’s history but is a must-see. Check out their website for upcoming screenings or to buy the DVD. genocidewildflowerstate.org.…

The Perth Festival of Fiction was a phenomenal event! All about two of my favourite things - books and writing - and I forgot to take a single photo. Thankfully one the Festival Mavens, was on the task …
Awesome job @TessWoodsAuthor and team.

To write you have to have #stories you want to tell, you have to keep your mind alive, and work hard.

“disorders of the blood” by Leah Kaminsky arrived in my mailbox! Preordered this gem and have loved every poem in Part I - can’t wait to read more.

The trouble with #fiction is that it makes too much sense. #Reality never makes sense.

As authors, we create the worlds inside us as best we can. Always let your heart be heard in your writing. #amwriting .. #writer #author #writing

I feel as an author you should always feel your writing. It should have an emotional impact on you. Whether it's from tension or humor or romance or another. If you can feel it, the likelihood your reader will feel it too is really huge. -Wrtr #amwriting Be #Writing. #author
I’ve loved all of @leahkam’s books and DOLL’S EYE is no exception.
The writing is crisp and evocative, drawing on confronting topics and striking symbolism to create a compelling story with relatable complex characters and lots of heart.
