Lane Cove Literary Awards 2021
Impatience, my husband tells me, is one of my worst faults. Unfortunately for him, I’ve had to wait close to a month to share the news that I won First Prize in the Lane Cove Literary Award for memoir. Hearing of the news was cliche. Yes, I went weak at the knees, my head swam, […]

It’s been three months and I’m pleased to say I am on the second edit of Living in London. However, I’m not saying it’s been easy. The first edit involved cutting 20,000 words and starting the story closer to the middle, however, by the second edit i am back to 79,000 words and now including thoughts for […]
