Pic of, um, last week
Last weekend I ran away with the writing gals to the gorgeous Mornington Peninsula (think beaches, wineries, spas). But mostly we holed up in our favourite weekend rental and chatted and laughed and wrote a bit and drank champagne and ate bad things. Lovely. And at...
Blood Kin galley giveaway
Book three in the Half-Light series officially has a title...Iron Kin. So to celebrate the newly named and the coming-real-soon-now release of Blood Kin, I'm giving away a Blood Kin galley (galleys are bound, uncorrected proofs of the book). Just comment here to...
Chapter One
The full first chapter of Blood Kin is now up over on my site. It has been busy the last few weeks with day job stuff and starting to organise some landscaping for my backyard (yay). My backyard is only little but it's kind of awkward...it has a slope in some parts...

Catching up
Sorry for the blog silence but on Monday I finished Book 3 (yippeeee!) and have subsequently been suffering post book finishing frenzy brain. And doing the Blood Kin page proofs. Not sure this is a good combination which is why I am only doing short batches each day....
