NEWS: Articles, interviews and other things for my debut novel

I was so excited to see this review of my debut, Making Friends with Alice Dyson in the SA Weekend section of the paper recently! The review is written by Katharine England and is just so lovely (and also written so well! She gets across so much in such a teeny tiny small space! Very cool!).

Last week I had a photographer come round to my house and take a million pictures of me while I posed on the couch with my book! I’ve definitely never had that experience before! It is definitely exciting seeing my book in the local paper! πŸ™‚ Even our cat Bro is excited!

There has also been a lot of local Adelaide press about my debut being picked up by Walker Books US for publication over in America. It is pretty exciting and heartwarming!! Thank you GLAM Adelaide for running this article!! You can READ IT HERE!!

I was also very pleased to get the opportunity recently to speak with the lovely Dani from the Words and Nerds Podcast about my debut novel Making Friends with Alice Dyson. If you’d like to listen to the interview you can CHECK IT OUT HERE.

I did an actual radio thing for the ABC and had to go into a TARDIS (apparently this is not a space police box but a recording studio!) to speak with the absolutely lovely Rhianna Patrick for her Sunday night program!
