  • Happy Father’s Day to all the fab dads out there, especially my ‘super dad’ hubby who works so hard for me and our girls. ❤️
  • Much of August was taken up by planning an epic Harry Potter party for my 11 year old - we went all out as it’s possibly our kids party swansong. As mentioned in my latest post on Substack, I made howlers that looked great but were completely inedible, little cupcakes that they each bit into to reveal which house they were in, and a cake that was requested specifically to look like the one in the first HP movie, but which pained me as unless you get the reference it just looks like I can’t spell! (My older daughter also deserves a mention for hand-carving the wands for her sister and friends.)
  • One of the best things about being a homeschool mum is getting to go to all the author events during Children’s Book Week and watch these brilliant storytellers doing their thing! Loved seeing you @askastorytelling and @debfitzpatrick9 and thanks for the great sessions for our kids! (We’ll remember the selfie next time Deb!) 📚
  • Happy Friday folks! I’m head down finalising the next round of edits for When She Was Gone, hoping to get them back today so I can return to the next work in progress. No rest for the wicked here! Also just finished writing my new Substack post about the kiss that never happened in the new movie Twisters, and what we might take away from these kinds of bold creative choices. This one is for my paid community but you can always take a peek at my paid articles with a free trial, and there are now over 40 free articles about writing, books and creativity for my subscribers there too. Link in my profile. Have a great weekend!
  • A new Substack post for all the writers out there… hope it’s useful info to help you tackle one of the more daunting parts of publishing! See bio or my stories for direct link to read.
  • Every month I do an ‘Author Notes’ round-up on Substack of interesting bits and pieces that have caught my eye about writing and the publishing industry. My latest talks about writing advice, concerning stats about reading, romantasy booming while the RWA crashes, authors’ political views being discussed, and books on Spotify. Link is in my bio. There’s always a round-up of everything I’ve written about lately on Substack too - and links if you’re interested in signing up to receive these direct to your inbox. Happy reading!
  • Searched out my old Sweet Valley High books today. I owe an unknown debt to Francine Pascal, who died a few days ago aged 92. In middle school my best friend and I used to devour these books and then decided to write our own, featuring ourselves and our classmates, who for a short time would gather with us in the playground during breaks to listen to the latest instalment (not sure if they wanted to or if we coerced them, but anyway!). It was early inspiration to write that has lasted a lifetime. Thank you Francine! #sweetvalleyhigh #francinepascal
  • When authors get together they’re always plotting 😜 @shannon_meyerkort and I have busy planning something special for Dyslexia Awareness Month in October - so watch this space and follow these hashtags: #authorsfordyslexia #authorsfordyslexiaawareness #aussieauthorsfordyslexia
  • I’m celebrating 55 posts on Substack with a ‘Hero post’ that lists everything I’ve written so far. After almost a year on the platform I’m loving it as much as ever, constantly refining what I’m doing and feeling a little bit sharper - although every post still benefits from a few good edits :) I began writing Novel Thoughts and Wild Ideas because I’m passionate about supporting creative thinkers, championing great books, chatting about writing, and exploring the many ways that culture, language and creativity are constantly dancing with the zeitgeist. It feels like I’ve only just begun, which is a very exciting place to be. It’s different work to my novels but has a nice synchronicity. If you don’t know about Substack yet, it’s a place where writers can focus on what they do best: writing and creative thinking. It’s full of great authors (even Margaret Atwood has a Stack!), and you can follow people for free and read many of their posts, or you can choose to become paid subscribers to support people’s work and gain access to extras. You don’t need the app, you can just sign up with your email address to get posts straight to your inbox (link in bio) - however, Substack’s app offers an easy way to follow your favourite creatives and read posts on the go. It’s a brilliant sandbox to play in, so come and check it out! I’d love to see you there.
