If I thought I was going to get a rest in 2015 after a crazy 2014, I was wrong! I’ll be working on my next adult title, thanks to crucial Department of Culture and the Arts funding. I’m about 7000 words into it so far. Slow going, but that’s just how I work.
And in between researching and writing, I’m thrilled to say I’ll be at Perth Writers Festival in February 2015 talking about The Break and my other books; at All Saints’ Literature Festival in March; down in Albany at the Great Southern Grammar Lit Festival in May; and travelling with The Literature Centre to Bunbury in September, Geraldton in October, and Albany also in October. I will also be doing an event in Dalwallinu in August, as well as running editing workshops at the Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers’ Centre from May to August 2015. I have bookings for Children’s Book Week 2015, too.
Hope to see some of you out there! Meanwhile, get back to your writing. That’s what I should be doing, too.
