Help! I’m writing a synopsis for a book submission.

I've learnt the value of working on a synopsis while you write your book. I've also learnt to work on a blurb long before I need to send it to my publisher, but that's not what this blog is about. I'm working on a novel that's not suited to my publisher, so for the first …

Book Review – They’re a Weird Mob – Nino Culotta

I discovered 'youse' is actually a word! My parents used to use youse as in 'all of youse', and even wrote it in handwritten notes. And like Nino, the main character in They're a Weird Mob, my parents were born in Europe. Early in life I had to teach myself the difference between borrow and …

Hearing your Audio Book for the first time

I've found the cure for Impostor Syndrome. One of my novellas has been recorded as an audio book. My publisher, NineStar Press, put out the call for narrators to audition, and after several voice-over artists submitted their recordings, we chose British actor, Jon Bolitho-Jones. Jon has a Masters in Acting and has tread the boards …

I’ve been stressing over a short story

My publisher is releasing a series of short stories this year. We were all asked to submit, but at time of writing this blog, I still haven't finished mine. I have two distinct versions, neither making it to the minimum word count. I challenged myself to write something light with no weird Kevin-style twists. When …

What reading one of my earlier books taught me about myself

I finished reading my second novel. I didn't think I'd finish it because I never read my own books once they are published. I'm working on a novel where for the first time I'm writing in Third Person Limited and, as Drama Queens and Adult Themes was written in First Person from the perspective of …

Jagged Little Pill – Theatre Review

Thanks to my #AusWrites partner in crime, Rebecca Langham, I scored free tickets to this show. My generation clearly remembers how angst-ridden Alanis Morissette's single 'You Oughta Know' was when it hit the charts in the 90s. It encapsulated the anger of being dumped with an honesty we'd never heard before, and hardly hear now. …

The horror of reading your own book.

I don't read my own books once they are published. I might read a chapter randomly as an antidote to Impostor Syndrome, but that's about it. Until the other day. I read the five opening chapters of my second novel, Drama Queens and Adult Themes, as I thought it might help me out with my …

Book Review – Anything But Fine by Tobias Madden

I don't usually read Young Adult novels. This book showed up on my socials several times and I browsed, no, I glanced at a bit of information about it. I believed it was a contemporary novel about a rising ballet star who has an accident that changes his life. Well, the last part is correct. …

Playing author for the long haul

I started this journey well over a decade ago. My first novel was redrafted eight times and after many rejection letters, was first published in 2012. For various reasons it is now with its third publisher. In the early days I tried all the tricks authors are told by bloggers on how to succeed. Start …

10 things I’ve learnt after publishing 10 books

In August, my tenth book was released. I've been taking stock as it's the perfect time to reflect. I've got a reason to celebrate and a milestone which is making me consider where my writing journey is heading. 1. Too much is made of genre. I know genre helps market a book, but I'm in …
