🤩COVER REVEAL🤩 I’m completely in love with the cover of my middle grade novel, ONE WRONG TURN - coming July. Thank you to my amazing team at @fremantlepress & to the very talented Irene King for bringing my ballerinas to life. This little author cannot stop happy dancing 💃🏻

In Year 1, I won a school speech competition with a talk about our upcoming trip to Singapore. It included an impersonation of the orangutan I would be having breakfast with at the zoo. Almost 30yrs later, it was exciting to be back, this time presenting as a published author 🥰

Very excited for this one! 👇🏻

Bluey has a lot to answer for. Mr 3 now has a “magic leaf” that has the ability to make objects too heavy to lift. He now keeps pointing the leaf at me and yelling ‘heavy!’ Given I’m currently a million years pregnant, it’s not great for the self esteem…

@kirovkate Having been in hospital with a young baby with RSV, the vaccine is a no brainer for me. No parent wants to see their baby struggling to breathe

The replies to this are horrendous. RSV kills kids and vaccination saves lives. If your child is eligible: please get them vaccinated.

@danielle_binks I’m still not brave enough to wear them outside the house because they were my house shoes years ago when they were still considered dorky. My husband and I were mocked a lot! But I still want book jibbitz for home 😉

@danielle_binks Who knew this was even possible?!

@sophiebeerdraws @CherylOrsini This is gorgeous! How special 🥰

If the Book Week costume parade fills you with dread…this might help! Any dance attire works, any colour. Adjust the footwear to suit the parade location. No glue gun required 😉

@fleurmcdonald That's wild Fleur!

Writing book 26, editing book 25 while waiting for publication of book 24. What a merry-go-round this writing life is! 😀 #writerlife

@LindsayBamfield Awww that’s actually very cute!

@CheneeMarrapodi Granddaughter insisted a girl at school was called Ballerina. It's actually Federica!

My 3.5yr old has been telling me all about a kid called ‘Galato’ that he likes to play with at prekindy. I questioned the name a few times, but he was adamant it was Galato. Today I asked him to point Galato out so I knew who he was. Michael. The kid’s name is Michael 🤦🏽‍♀️

@MegCaddyAuthor Hahaha at least you can see the link there!

@GillOshaughness Thanks Gillo!

@CheneeMarrapodi Lovely! Congratulations Chenee 🎉

Today this Perth girl got to launch her second book … in Melbourne. To be honest, I can’t quite believe it 🤩
