I've been sitting here pondering a few things. Last week saw the release of Frontier Defiant, the final installation in the Frontier Trilogy. Thank you to those of you who purchased both it, and the preceding two volumes! Now I'm in the middle of writing a fantasy Trilogy and a Science Fiction story (sort of … Continue reading Things on the TV

Frontier Defiant Released Tomorrow!
Well, it's here at last. Who'd have thought that the book begun during my recovery from cruciate ligament reconstruction is now about to be a completely published trilogy. From an image sitting inside my head twenty plus years ago, Frontier, Shanna and her starcats, and the alien Garsal have now exited my headspace and taken … Continue reading Frontier Defiant Released Tomorrow!
Finally Back and Writing Again
Last weekend marked the end of our local production of The Sound of Music. After six months of hard work, eight shows, and eight standing ovations, we turned the local high school hall back into a hall, and left the mountains of Austria. I spent the months pretending to be Sister Margaretta, while helping teach … Continue reading Finally Back and Writing Again
Being Busy, Yet Again.
As I write, I'm sitting here in my pyjamas, trying not to fall asleep. It's Sunday evening, and I've spent today and yesterday helping to 'bump in' our local production of The Sound of Music. I still have paint under my fingernails, despite the shower, and I'm rather tired. However, I'm home, and some of … Continue reading Being Busy, Yet Again.
Sadness. Why don’t they learn?
Several mornings ago I awoke, once again, to the news that there had been yet another gun massacre in the US. I'm Australian. As I've previously written in this blog, we have some strong gun control laws here, enacted after we suffered the worst massacre in history in 1996. In April, I listened to our … Continue reading Sadness. Why don’t they learn?
Proofreading
Frontier Defiant is slated for release in August this year, from Hague Publishing. It marks the end of the Frontier Trilogy. At the moment, I'm in the middle of proofreading the (hopefully) final draft. The hardest thing about proofreading is making sure you read every single word. I've learned that when you're a writer, no … Continue reading Proofreading
Thinking too much again.
This afternoon, I attended a performance by the Hunter Singers. They're a choir based in the Newcastle region of the Hunter Valley, and are all young people of high school age. It was truly beautiful. I love choral singing, both to listen to, and to participate in myself. Making music in a group is one … Continue reading Thinking too much again.
What is Female Empowerment?
And here I am back after yet another blog hiatus! There are some good reasons - being flat out editing Frontier Defiant (Book 3 in the Frontier Trilogy) is one, and polishing up another novel, tentatively called Amethyst Pledge, is another. Add to that, being part of the cast and crew of our local Sound … Continue reading What is Female Empowerment?
General Stuff
I've neglected my blog a bit lately - mostly due to holidaying overseas, playing catch up on a few things when we returned, and being fairly heavily involved in our town's production of The Sound of Music. Apart from helping with some of the singing stuff, I'm also Sister Margaretta - the nun who says … Continue reading General Stuff
The Art of Onsen
I haven't updated this blog for a while, mainly due to the fact that we're travelling, but courtesy of a slight knee tweak skiing yesterday, I'm having a rest day so that I can ski my socks off on our last day, tomorrow. It snowed last night, and I'm sitting in the lobby of the … Continue reading The Art of Onsen
