The proposed changes at the State Library of Victoria are an absolute travesty. This is a great outline as to why.

It's that time of the year innit. It's sentimental... As always, proceeds from sales of White Wine In The Sun over the Christmas period go to Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia). ❤️ Thank you for listening, sharing and supporting this important organisation over the years. youtu.be/x1rw1fx170s?...

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

If the forest can rebuild after being burned, so can you. (Ideally in less than 150 years.)

I had the pleasure of beta reading Lexi Haven's short story, "Set Up and Snowed In", and I'm so happy to see it going out into the world 😊 It's perfect for lovers of the opposites attract and sibling's best friend tropes (and of course, the snowed in trope 😉). #Romancelandia 💙📚🌶️

Had a nice walk at Tamar Island Wetlands on the weekend 💚 #tasmania #australia #australianwildlife

Added another #TessaDare book to my collection 🥰 #romancelandia 🌶📚💙

#scarystorychallenge Officially submitted my first #NYCMidnight story. Now we play the waiting game...

After three failed ideas and a lot of tinkering, I think I'm done. But seeing as I still have 19 hours, I think I will sleep on it before I seal the deal. #ScaryStoryChallenge #NYCMidnight #WritingCommunity

I'm never sure if these petitions do anything, but I figure it is better than doing nothing. So many people already struggle with the income barrier, let's not make it worse. #tasmania #australia #australiancreatives

Daisies. It's kind of a theme for one of my characters.

I guess it's a good thing I've been in a bit of a writing slump. Means I haven't lost anything important after my cat knocked my smoothie over my laptop. 😭 Oh well, I was planning on getting a new one anyway.

I must remember not to get high hopes, but it's been ages since we had a good "OMG they found something?" moment. So, one foot firmly on the ground while I eagerly watch for updates 👀 But even if there's no Doctor Who announcement, it's still amazing that an organisation like this exists. 💙🎞️

Showtime! And the first track is already a banger. #TaylorSwift #TLOASG #LifeOfAShowGirl

Now THIS is an LLM I can get behind

R.I.P 💙

Why do men get to enjoy fantasies that would be dangerous in real life, but a woman reading romances with possessive MCs is bad? It doesn't mean she's going to copy the FMC, just as most men wouldn't copy John McClane. It's fantasy fiction about passion, dedication and fidelity, not a dating guide.

This whole section really.

As someone who is trying to write paranormal romance and also hates a messy first draft, this is so encouraging.

I don't mind a billionaire romance (though I prefer millionaire romances - you still get the "rich hero" trope, but it's easier to believe there was no exploitation involved), but if I saw an "AI CEO" romance, I would just assume that book was written by ChatGPT.

Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake (by Sarah McLean) #BookskyFirstLetterLastLetter

Let's play a game! When you see a #BookskyFirstLetterLastLetter post, quote it with a book that starts with the last letter of the book in the quoted post. Don't forget to add the tag/rules so your followers know what to do. I'll start us off: "The Duchess Deal" (by Tessa Dare) 📚💙 📚🌶️ 💬📚

One of my fave ways to support romance authors is to add/edit tags on romance.io. Even if I decide the book is not for me and I DNF, I can at least add the tags I know are relevant. #romancelandia #booksky

I can't wait to hear the results podcast for this one. That innuen-dough jar is going to be so full 😆 #NotQuiteWrite

Stoked to have won the #RWAus2025 Opal Award. Still can't believe it! Thanks to all the judges and congrats to all the other finalists 💕

Lots of walking today. Worth it, though. #RoyalTasmanianBotanicalGardens

Arrived in Hobart for the RWAus conference. 6am wake up means I am soooo sleepy, but it will be worth it. Let the mini getaway begin!

Can confirm. #librarians #booksky
