Thanks so much Don Winslow - I am currently in ROUND TWO edits for the sequel which is scare-citing 😱 can't wait to show you around Southport again

Amid a sad/electrically weird week, I got offered a fellowship at KSP Writers' Centre centre for February 2024. I cannot wait to sink my teeth into 'Crawler' in the beautiful Perth hills #WritingCommunity

I adore my mind! I LOVE that it takes me up to a month to open a text, a DM or worse...voice note...I love to build it to such mind-boggling world-crushing dread my entire world is toppling! love that I have bookmarked a page called 'why am I so afraid to open an email'

Mercury's shadow is LOONG- just locked myself out of a secure apartment in a dressing gown with two very hot anxious greyhounds, who in all the excitement, decided it was a fine time to urinate in the hallway...

" Hard to describe the impression of unreality, because it is intangible; almost supernatural: something in the air." I love LA. I love Angelinos. Stay safe my friends. #PalisadesFire

In the rough and roiling seas of 2025, I’m finding great comfort in comedy. The studio is *chef’s kiss * perfection: it’s like fawlty towers meets the office, the absurdity and darkness of the hollywood, hilarity and nail biting tension, flawed characters with dark edges.

2025 recession core is wild - real cigarettes, Ozempic, vyanese, eating disorders and fake tans. I went to a pilates class and someone lit up a cigarette outside straight after.

This is my foster boy, Sonny. He's terrified of noises and people, an athletic hunter of wand toys, a wet food enthusiast, a blanket burrower, and a champion booper. Since I lost my darling Steven, he's been medicine for me. I know we're healing each other.

The prose in genre fiction is rarely as bad as it’s made out to be, and is sometimes even much better than some of the stuff being passed off as literary fiction. This novel is so good, but it’s not some crazy outlier.
