When I heard how much little Aurelia loved Leonard the Lonely Duck, I visited her in hospital to read it to her 💚
She’s almost two and fighting severe pulmonary hypertension.

💚 This is Aurelia – she loves my book Leonard the Lonely Duck. She’s nearly two and has severe pulmonary hypertension, a rare and life-threatening condition. Doctors in Australia can’t do more but her dad Peter won’t give up. Help give her hope: gofund.me/1fce6370d

I’m dog-sitting Lilly again – which means another book modelling session! 🐶📚
She insisted on featuring all four titles at once.
Children’s picture books, an adult comedy novel, and a Doctor Who spin-off – all part of my writing adventures.

Visited Joondalup Early Learning Centre this month to read LEONARD THE LONELY DUCK and MY UNCLE IS A FUNCLE to some seriously switched-on little readers. They were fully engaged – and yes, my hair formed an accidental ducktail at the front. On theme. 🐤
