I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been selected for the inaugural Golden Egg Writing Residency at La Colemena de Montserrat in January 2026. Ten days to focus on my current writing project. And stare out the window at those magnificent mountains. Feeling very lucky. 😍

Thrilled to be on the 2025 Commonwealth Short Story Prize shortlist with my story ‘Nuala Nu’ after what seemed an endless period of rejections, big and small. Congrats and good luck to my fellow short-listers. #persist

New cone, who dis?
This morning I discovered that Misty could scratch her poorly eyes even while wearing a cone. So, we had to invest in a super-size one. Could she look any sadder?

Just back from a holiday with old friends. I booked a taxi to meet us at the airport & phoneticized my first name to avoid any spelling issues for the taxi driver …. 🤷♀️🙈🤦♀️
