Tuesday, 11 January 2011
Here is the cover for the new book due out on the 28th Feb this year. I love the old shearing shed in the background, i’ve been in a few that look similar so it’s nice to have something that relates. Also below is the trailer for Heart of Gold…just a little something so you

Friends
Monday, 10 January 2011
We were lucky enough to spend Christmas and New Year on the coast. Nearly ten days of bliss where we got to escape the heat and hot winds back home. From the tiny caravan kitchen we managed to prepare a roast dinner fit for a king. Although it was lost on my daughter who is

Xmas
Wednesday, 22 December 2010
On Saturday we had a visit from Santa and the whole town and more rocked up to watch the kids get their presents. Can you believe there are just over fifty presents under the tree!!! We were most upset to find the mice had a munch on the red velvet on Santa’s chair but we

My desk
Friday, 17 December 2010
This is my little area for writing. It used to be the desk with my sewing machines on it…but they have been put into ‘permanent’ storage! Lets face it…I can’t sew to save myself…just a few running repairs is the best I can manage. I usually park my butt in the chair, sometimes light a

Christmas
Monday, 06 December 2010
This was my car Sunday arvo, looking like Santa’s sleigh. Filled to the brim with pressents. My mate Lea and myself headed to Perth for the yearly shop. Our numbers have dropped this year to 50 kids. Big kids moving on and not many little ones being born. So we didn’t have to find as

Weekend
Monday, 22 November 2010
On the weekend the kids and I went for another ride in the truck. This time out to Mr Mitchell’s. I love riding in the truck with my dad, as it ends up being around an hour I get to spend with him. Yes, I’m a daddy’s girl. And the kids love being with their

Harvest
Saturday, 20 November 2010
This Saturday the kids were bored so we jumped in Pop’s truck and headed out the road to pick up Mr Varone’s load of wheat. He’d stopped for the day as most area’s had a harvest ban on. You’d be mad to harvest when its stinking hot and the wind is blowing. If a fire

Dymocks Day
Friday, 12 November 2010
On Thursday, 25th November I will be in Perth at Dymocks Carousel for a special day they are having. I will be there at 10 till 11-ish if anyone is around and wants to say ‘hi’ or get a book signed. I believe Juliet Marillier will be there at 12 also. While I’m in Perth
Boxes
Friday, 12 November 2010
My hubby and I were rather shocked last night when our kids went off to bed so early! We should have known somthing was up. As you can see boxes make wonderful toys. We had two aircons installed and the big empty boxes left behind were snapped up by the kids. It kept them so

Crops
Tuesday, 09 November 2010
Its that time of year again…harvest. Though to look at this picture you’d think it was okay, but for our area in WA it’s quite grim. There was hardly any rain this year to help finish the crops. I think I heard it said that it’s the third worst year ever recorded…I may be wrong
