I thank my lucky stars that I have such wonderful female friends. One such friend took me for my check up today at the hospital. I slightly weirded out at the hospital but they checked me over and all was ok. Maybe my blood pressure dropped. Anyway I'm good now and back home.

I'm publishing a novel next spring and the cover is now ready for me to approve. I'm excited even in my current rather weak and pathetic state!
Longshore Drift comes out on March 28th.

A reminder of the terrible reality of some miners' lives. A powerful story
Thank you to the amazing Flash the Court for making a home for my story.
Whistle blowing, once for caution, twice for all clear. Vibrations that went on so long you heard them even in stillness ...

The detail of the landscapes I grew up with add an irreplaceable core of truth to even the most surreal of my tales. This is Western Australia. My stories live here.

Hurrah! I managed to get my knickers on without help this morning. Additionally I walked to the apple 🍎 tree which, strangely, despite winds and frosts, still clings on to its leaves.

I did some editing this afternoon. Lasted 15 minutes and fell asleep. Not sure if being put to sleep by one's own work is a good thing or not?!

A wonderful tale, both beautiful and dark.
Super chuffed to have my flash up at @bloodhoneylit.bsky.social featuring an enigmatic storyteller and his doubting ex-wife. This story was much rejected, so thank you @davidestringel.bsky.social for believing in it 🙏🏾
