Do you frequently get mixed messages? On one hand you have someone telling you how great you are at communicating complex concepts in a simple way, and on the other hand you have someone misinterpreting your communication. Granted you can’t please everyone, but if you are the unchanging element … what makes you so easy… Read More Jumping the bar
Some people will consider Whitney Houston belting out the ‘Greatest love of all‘ to be a cheesy experience, but I know that others will understand its significance. ‘Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all’. She wasn’t wrong. Inspiring children to be who they are, to impart to them the knowledge we learned… Read More The greatest love
Pride and love should go hand in hand. Pride is a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction, and love is a a deep affection for something. Being proud of yourself, being conscious of your own achievements and being happy about them. Nice. Love. Last year I released a book on Sydney Mardi Gras weekend, and, yes,… Read More Pride and love
This little piggy was a Mother’s Day gift. It is inexpensive, simple, and I adore it. Why am I telling you this? The significance of this pig to me is in the sentiment that I attach to it. To me this pig says love, family, motherhood, consideration, fun, and many other things, but to you… Read More This little piggy
It’s six in the morning, dark, quiet, and I’m awake. I’m kind of excited. There are always things to worry about, but then some good things happen and you feel like maybe it’s the beginning of a new chapter in your life. Sometimes I forget my age, but I never forget my responsibilities. Sometimes I… Read More Stock take
We all have our Frozen moment. Let it go, let it go. Ah, that door slam. In an organisational culture embedded in toxicity and negativity, it’s easy to feel swamped. Obviously my tolerance level fluctuates for that s**t and maybe it goes in rhythm with my high functioning depression. The reality is that a mental… Read More My Frozen moment
Hello, book lovers. Today my mind has drifted over to the old debate on the abundance of the books that are both over-sexualised and sexist. The debate about them being misogynistic is no longer the main problem. Do men really hate women? With the current climate it appears society is leaning more towards misandristic overtones and… Read More Escapism vs. Opportunity
Getting lost in writing in the dead of night is a great place for me. It allows me to make myself laugh and cry, and use the words to release emotions that I tend to hold onto for the sake of other people. My words entertain a few people. I’m not popular. I want to… Read More The despondent correspondent
I’m very much a why person, so I like to fuse fact and fiction together in my books. I want to educate while I’m entertaining. It’s no secret that there’s always a gay character in my books. I don’t have an issue with that, but some people obviously do. I received a bizarre message when… Read More Pretty and witty and gay
I write stories of love and drama and crime and family life, and how those aspects interact. They’re complicated stories written simply to keep them universal. I have received criticism from people who’ve never read me, from people who assumed my books were romance / erotica and DNF (did not finish) the book, from people… Read More Life is a WIP
