I have signed a publishing agreement for my second novel 'The Geography of Friendship', with University of Queensland Press. Publication is set for July 2018.

Loved this Miles Franklin shortlisted book by Emily Maguire, it has some of the best characterization I've read in a long time. And instead of dwelling on the crime at the centre of the story, the story focuses on the personal fallout for those left behind. Just been to a @qldwriters event where Emily was in-conversation with Andie Fox. Love it even more now. @macmillanaus #anisolatedincident #emilymaguire #booksiloved @milesfranklinliteraryaward

From this 🍊to this, 21 jars and still a tree full 😳#cumquats #marmalade

I found this amazing nest on the track yesterday, a casualty of all the wind we've had. I think it might have been home to Fairy-wrens. #lovenature #lovebirds #lovewalkingandfindingstuff

Another beautiful @christinehsharp children's book launched @wherethewildthingsare_bookshop last night. Bertha and Bear is a wonderful story for younger readers about a very brave bee and it's full of Chris' signature fun and original illustrations. I've added it to my to be read pile for the future. #berthaandbear @uqpbooks #childrensbooks #booksilove

Marmalade soon 🍊#cumquats #springbounty

I'm pretty excited to be launching this beauty for Cass Moriarty at 6pm on Friday 1st Sept @avidreader. 'Parting Words' is a complex family drama about family secrets, guilt and redemption. The stuff of a cracking story! A free event, but bookings required through Avid Reader Bookstore. @uqpbooks #cassmoriarty #partingwords #booksiloved

Winter sun-striped trail on today's walk, but it feels like summer at almost 30 degrees. #lovewalking #lovenature

Picked up these pretties while out walking today. #lovenature #lovefeathers

It's @loveyourbookshopday. I stopped by @avidreader bookshop earlier, bought some books (as you do, too often in my case) and shared the fun vibe that comes with being around people who love books and reading. #loveyourbookshopday
