@danny_robins ❤️ sending good vibes your way

We’re really sorry, but this week’s Uncanny episode has been postponed.  Unfortunately it also means we’re going to have to cancel tonight’s Listenalong and Twitter spaces chat. So sorry to disappoint you all. More news soon I promise.

Absolutely thrilled to announce my continued relationship with Pan Macmillan Australia - today I’ve signed a contract to write a book due for release in the second half of next year. More info to follow #writing #publishing #literature #australinliterature #prose #narrative

I visited a class of second graders to teach them about poetry, and this is a poem one student wrote. What is Life? My name is Marisa. Today I feel like a wealthy lioness prancing in the fields. Sometimes I am a fox. Sometimes I am a wolf. But always I am loyal. I ask the world, "What is life?" And the answer is a wealthy lioness prancing in the fields.

Exciting announcement coming early next week… 📚 #books #writing #literature #stories #australianstories

@nathaliejacoby1 Teachers. First and foremost. Then nurses and cops. If you raise the pay of the first and second, they will get what they have always deserved. If you raise the pay of the third, you will get the cops we deserve. And yes, there are exceptions so for all great officers, thank you.

@nathaliejacoby1 From Here to Eternity

@VikkiPetraitis Oh dear
