Tuesday, 25th May, 2021  I will be hosting a writing workshop with Years 3 to 6 at Kangaloon Primary School in The Southern Highlands. The workshop will be about where writing ideas come from? The students will learn how to use a Writing Ideas book. ​

I recently attended the CBCA Illawarra/South Coast literary luncheon in October, 2023 at the Fraternity Club, Fairy Meadow. Seventeen schools participated, I lunched with the wonderful teachers and students from Gerringong Public School. Together we wrote a group story and participated in author trivia by yelling out our answers. It was super loud. I loved chatting, signing autographs and sharing the proof copy for our Shellharbour. I even went to university with one of the teachers from Gerringong Public School. My favourite moment was when one of the  student’s on my table gave me the biggest bear hug at the end of the day. And then when they were leaving ran back and gave me another tight squeeze. It melted my heart and that is what author’s love more than anything else connecting with children over story. 

I’m honoured to share that I’ve received a Commended Award from The Society of Women Writers NSW Inc.

My writing has always been driven by a desire to tell meaningful stories and connect with readers, so receiving this award affirms the passion and dedication I pour into every piece.

I’m truly grateful for this milestone in my creative journey, and I look forward to continuing to grow, learn, and share my work with others.
