Would you like to hear how Silver Clouds came into being? One question got my creative juices flowing, and I wondered what would happen if I tried to write a book around that small mystery.

Enid has single-handedly inspired generations of readers, and if you dig deeper into writers’ backgrounds, you’ll find many of us reference Enid as an inspiration.

Yep, there’s so much to let you know about!

Firstly, the edits for The Buried are done, and it goes to print this week. This book has been a monumental effort! Even though the whole storyline is the same, the actions and happenings around the main plot have changed 180 degrees since I wrote the first draft.

It’s been a big couple of weeks. A wonderful couple of weeks! I always think how lucky I am when work and family collide, and collide it did a couple of weeks ago.

I read somewhere recently that ONE in FIVE Australians is estranged from their family because of shifting societal attitudes and low tolerance for toxic behaviour, and increased awareness of mental health. Many counsellors actually advise clients to walk away from their parents.

I don’t know if you remember, but a while ago I announced Fleur’s Inner Circle. This is like a social media platform, but not one that is at the whim of algorithms or Meta (who wants to steal all our data).

Bookmarks or dog-eared pages? Controversial, I know. Just the same as, is listening to an audiobook still reading? Where is your spot to read?

What’s your take?

I can’t tell you how disappointed that Show and I didn’t get an invite to the TT wedding. I am a huge Swifty, but obviously, Taylor hadn’t heard that.

My job is downright weird at times. Who would write letters to their mother, or those close to them, from imaginary people? Maybe the better question to that is WHY would anyone bother to write letters from imaginary people?

I’m going to talk about the NDIS, so firstly, I want you to understand that I know the NDIS needs an overhaul. The system, as it stands today, is easily wrought and so open to fraud. There is no denying that.

It has been a wild week! Not weather-wise, because normally if I say a week has been wild, it’s been windy and raining and freezing. Lovely winter weather. Yes, the weather has been a bit like that this last week, but I’m meaning work-wise!

I drove nearly 40 kilometres following this rainbow a couple of weeks ago. It started as a smudge in the sky, then I watched it form from a baby rainbow into a full one.

Dear Everyone from Victoria and New South Wales, you are wonderful. I have had the best tour, I think I’ve ever had.

Things that make me go ‘ahhh,’ and sigh in contentment. This weeks offerings!

The Witness; Clever and Gripping. Come and see photos of where I’ve set the novel

Farmers rarely ask for help. We are an independent, self reliant industry. However, today I’m coming to you to ask for help.

As humans I don’t think we do uncertainty well.

Detective Dave Burrows country has a special pull on me. I guess that's why I shifted Dave to his little town called Barker. With Dave and his wife, Kim, living there, I got to hang out in the Flinders Ranges every year, even if I hadn't got back there to physically visit.

When I was growing up, and we headed off into the bush camping, there was never, ever any outback loos in the middle of nowhere.

I laughed so much when I turned up at Cave Hill the other day and found this... I was in the middle of the bush, a few hundred kilometres from anywhere, and there was a toilet.

THE CURE FOR ISOLATION IS CONNECTION!

A long time ago, when I first started writing and this website, blogs were a big thing. I'd pop in here and tell you all about my day, and hopefully you'd leave me a comment and tell me about yours.
