I am an Australian freelance writer and emerging author.
In December 2013, I self-published my debut novel When Rosa Came Home, which was short-list for the 2015 South Australian Readers and Writers People's Choice Award.
My draft manuscript, Where the Fruit Falls, was short-listed for the 2017 Richell Prize. This novel explores themes such as identity, colonisation and racism in 1950-70s Australia. It was also accepted into Hardcopy 2018. I was awarded a scholarship to participate in this professional development program for writers.
In addition to working on manuscripts, I sometimes add to my blog and write non-fiction pieces. I have had work published in Al Jazeera, IndigenousX, NITV, Meanjin and Guardian Australia. See links on my blog and muck rack page.
My current writing goals are:
- Finish editing my next novel - Where the Fruit Falls.
- Develop a series of novelettes - The Cosmographer's Brother, The Last Dodo's Cousin and The Siren's Sister - to be collectively be called Bestiarium Terra Nullius: peculiar beings of uninhabited southern lands.
- Write a dark comedy novella - Dingo Creek Literary Festival.
- More opinion pieces and educative works, to post here and on my blog.
- There are 7 levels of Patronage but you can also nominate a different amount
- Levels have slightly different 'rewards' but every patron is valued
- You can choose to receive no rewards
- Supplying a postal address is optional but preferable, as I send occasional gifts
- And most importantly - thank you!

Goals
To say thanks I will give patrons more snippets of what I am working on. And I will Pay if Forward by mentoring new writers (online or in-person).
