So excited that the amazing illustrations by Christoper Nielson for my persuasive text "Count Dracula Hotel- The best hotel in Transylvania" made it to the front cover of Orbit's July edition of The School Magazine.

What's the text about, you ask? Or, it's just a fun little advertorial about an amazing hotel run by none other than Count Dracula. Just a bit of silly fun, really 😁

I so appreciate the team at The School Magazine for giving writers like me the space to let our imaginations run free!

So thrilled to see my play "Grimm Getaways" in June's Orbit edition of The School Magazine!

Who needs Bali or Fiji when you can stay in a haunted manor house or be pampered in a holistic Swamp spa? Perfect for all kinds of monsters and ghouls.

Love the illustrations by Greg Holfeld, too!

I had the absolute pleasure of attending the The School Magazine's Contributors' MorningTea. It was so lovely getting to meet the amazing crew who work so hard behind the scenes to put out these fabulous magazines.

It was also a treat seeing familiar Kid Lit faces and meeting others for the first time 😄 @liz_ledden and @dannielle_viera_writer

Also, the Parramatta Office of the DET is STUNNING. AND it has a soccer pitch on the 7th floor!!! 🤯

Thanks for the fun car ride @karynsavageauthor and @zoedisherwriter

My play 'The Meanest Statues in Town' made the cover of the Touchdown edition of The School Magazine this month 🤩 Huzzah!

My little article about carnivorous monster plants also made it into Orbit... some plants are legitimate predators, y'all!

Huzzah!

My play "That's Not How the Story Goes' has made it into the October edition of Countdown!

There's nothing like cutting up fairytales, throwing them in a blender and whizzing them together to create a wild and humorous new treat (at least that's what I like to think I did here LOL).

I can't believe I somehow managed a hat-trick this month with 2 plays and an article in the Touchdown, Blast Off and Countdown editions of The School Magazine this month. (I'm not a massive sporting enthusiast, but I think a hat-trick refers to three of something? 🤔🤷‍♀️��😆)

I'm so chuffed 😊😊😊
