Hello! I’ve got three things coming up in the next two months: the Abbotsleigh Literary Festival (10 August), an event at Kinokuniya with four other esteemed ladies of YA (Sarah Ayoub, Erin Gough, Gabby Tozer and Jeann from Happy Indulgence) and the Brisbane Writers’ Festival (10 and 11 September).

Jaci and I will be interviewed about our books during the segment, and they will be discussed
Hello! Sydney’s become horribly cold over the last few days (I’m not actually whinging – this is after the most lenient Autumn ever, AND the water is still warm enough for a springsuit …) but I’ve got a trip to the Sunshine Coast to look forward to, as one of the authors appearing at the VOICES ON THE COAST LITERARY FESTIVAL.
