If you have any interest at all in knowing how and why I do what I do (no small feat – most of the time I’ve no idea why I do what I do, either!🤣)… pop in to visit lizbiesnerdyworld where I was lucky enough to share my thoughts on the writing of The Emerald …
Looking forward to talking all things Emerald Tablet (and avoiding any mention of Geelong’s dominance this season. Go Tiges 😥☹️) with Denis Walter this afternoon. 693 on your AM dial, if you’ve nothing better to do with those fifteen minutes of time this windy old afternoon.
Logies night. Haven’t tuned in to watch this since I used to stay with my grandma near Phillip Island. She was a TV Week fangirl before fangirls we’re a thing. Now, a TV show I co-wrote is up for an award… The Pacific in the Wake of Captain Cook with Sam Neill. Also shooting for …
First, a disclaimer. I’m an avowed pacifist. But I’m also not one to say ‘no thanks, I’d rather just stay here drinking fine wine and reading by the fire’ when a new experience is on offer. So it was that I found myself on a hillside in New Zealand shooting at what the experts assured …
Well, Michael Popple at The Canberra Weekly does, anyway. It’s “Intriguing”, “Thrilling” and “A fun and compelling read,” apparently. Yeah. I’ll take that, thank you Michael. So does The Emerald Tablet sound like something you’d like to dive into? https://www.panmacmillan.com.au/9781760552633/
So, a very dear friend with a well-honed sense of humour gave me a gift to commemorate the birth of my book baby. Yes. Emerald Tablet-themed eyeshadow. 🤣 Either that, or it’s intended for use in a reptilian mating display. Needless to say, I am never wearing it out of the house. But it didn’t …
The anxiety runs thick in the veins when the reviews start rolling in. So when a corker or two arrives, it’s an overwhelming relief. Yesterday, I had Brooklyn the Bookworm. Today, it’s the Unseen Library. As an author, to know that someone who reads a lot and really knows what they’re talking about has enjoyed …
Home now. And it’s time to celebrate. Happy birthday 🎁 🎂, literary baby. This calls for a fine French one. Cheers!🥂
It’s quite fortunate that I’ve been languishing in the ridiculous luxury of Cape Kidnappers and attending to other writerly duties for the past four days, because I haven’t had the opportunity to get too anxious about the launch of The Emerald Tablet tomorrow. You know what it’s like when something you’ve been anticipating and looking …
… if I disappear, I’ve holed up here at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers. Can you imagine a more idyllic place to write? And to all of you who told me how much I’d love New Zealand? Yeah. You were right. Don’t gloat. It’s a very unappealing trait.
