Book mail! Can’t wait to dig into Midnight Echo Issue 20 (ed. Marty Young) and so excited to have two artworks included! Stunning cover art by David Schembri and I love the eerie, liminal final artwork by Red Wallflower. 🚪👀 📚 🖤

Meet Dumpling, Snowdrop, and Squeaky Wheekers (named by 9yo and 5yo)! 🐀 🐀 🐀 🥰 They are a few months old and very fast so it’s difficult to get a non-blurry photo! Relatedly my current earworm for weeks now is a mashup of Rats by Ghost and Let It Go from Frozen 🙈 🐀 ❄️

Quick watercolour fanart of Dan and Ratty from the podcast Archive 81 by Daniel Powell and Marc Sollinger! Late to the party as always, I absolutely loved this weird unsettling found footage horror. 🎧 Fantastic cast, loved the pivot to Videodrome meets VanderMeer in S2.

Book mail from Undertow! I recognise some of those names 🤩 Absolutely love the cover art by Odilon Redon + design by Vince Haig. 🖤 👁️

Attended two amazing writing groups this weekend and caught up with friends old and new about their interesting projects, and I of course only took photos of birds and coffee! Magpie trotted alongside me on the path for a while, v friendly despite it being swooping season 🦜🐦☕️

You can listen to <5min free readings from many Aussie authors on Narratives Library including my short story “Form a Shape, Besides Yourself” forthcoming in Aurealis 🚀🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒👩‍✈️🤷‍♀️🤱🌌 Thank you Karena Wynn-Moylan and Dr Peter Wynn-Moylan! 🎤🎧 https://t.co/chpNtPWFJj

Congratulations @pegasusunder1 and @clgslr! I was so lucky to get to be a beta reader for this novel and I can’t wait for everyone to experience the wonderful weirdness too! 🎉 🍊 📚 ✨

Great book launch last night for Kathleen Jennings’ Queensland gothic novel HONEYEATER with Barbie Robinson at the Book Cow! Loved hearing about the interplay between Kathleen’s visual art and writing, and how much fun the gothic is. How stunning is that cover too 🥀 🪲 🖤 📚

Conflux was a blast! 📚🚀🐉👻 So excited and honoured to win a Ditmar Award in the Artwork category on Sunday night for my cover art for Jessica Nirvana Ram’s incredible poetry collection “in the aftermath” (fifth wheel press). 💛 “Straight to the pool room” as KA Burgess said!

I just entered to win an annotated copy of Kathe Koja's SKIN at https://t.co/9UACKyUcQx. Thx @meerkatpress

Exploring the castle gardens here in NZ, and… wait, is that a Ditmar? With my name on it?? 😁 What an absolute joy and an honour to win this award! Thank you so much @CHPearceWrites for accepting this one on my behalf, and to all who voted for me 💜 Best New Talent 2025!
