In Japanese, “tsundoku” means collecting books and letting them pile up - not for neglect, but for the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories. 📍Kinokuniya Book Store, Tokyo

My much awaited article: Language-in-education policy in Fiji: implications for linguistic equity and educational outcomes. Timely for #Fiji due to current language debate. ⁦@fijivillage⁩ ⁦@fijitimes⁩ ⁦@maitvfiji⁩ ⁦@FijiSUNews⁩ tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

My new paper on #grounded #theory published in Educational Point with my colleague and friend Dr Julia Petzl-Berney. educationalpoint.net/article/ration…

The first article from my PhD is now online. The findings of this review support a need for more precision and rigour in future research on camouflaging/masking. doi.org/10.1177/136236… @UniNewEngland #autism #camouflaging #masking

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy books. Calm evening

Had a fantastic evening talking about #Fiji 🇫🇯 to Country Women’s Association in Guyra. Sharing the story from University of New England, AU Staff Newsletter: blog.une.edu.au/pulsenews/2025…

An important issue that I highlight with my dear friend and long time collaborator Mr Ravnil Narayan, a Senior Lecturer in Fiji. Vinaka @fijitimes for publishing our piece 🙏🏽 #teamfiji fijitimes.com.fj/opinion-fijis-…

A simple yet powerful reading tip:

read more books. not because it’s productive. not because it’s aesthetic. but because it rewires your brain. every good book upgrades your mental firmware. you start seeing patterns others miss. you start connecting disciplines. you start thinking. books are the ultimate leverage. cheap to get. infinite in return. read more books; that’s how you actually get smart.

Amazon banned my book publishing account, so screw it—I'm giving away 2 of my most popular books for free. As of right now: • I have no way to publish on Amazon. • My entire library, thousands of reviews, etc., are all gone. • And I am “banned” from creating a new account on Amazon at any time in the future. I have been publishing non-fiction on Amazon for over 10 years. Sold 40,000+ books. And I was banned because I created a new account to publish my new fiction book under a pen name... Not realizing I should've created that within my existing account. (Oops!) Now, I believe I'll get it back one day. But right now, no one can access my books—so I thought, "Why not give them away for free?" So, if you want a free digital copy of: • The Art & Business of Online Writing • The Art & Business of Ghostwriting Then comment "books" below and I'll DM them to you for free. Inside these books, I explain: • Why you shouldn’t start a blog, how to find your voice as a writer, and the exact steps to build a daily writing habit. • The quickest way to monetize your writing (and get paid to network and learn from industry leaders in your niche). • The secret to making more money as a writer (so you can escape the freelance writer hamster wheel). And tons more! Comment "books" below and I'll DM them to you for free.

One of the best pieces of career advice I got was from this book when I was in grad school: write 500 words a day, five days a week. An attainable daily goal that compounds quickly: 10k words/month. Keep track of your progress, reward yourself each week. Positive feedback loop.
