Tell me a ghost story.
Thanks Canberra CityNews for sharing part of the story behind The Haunting of Kenmore Asylum. It was wonderful to talk with Elizabeth, who did a great job condensing all my garbled excited history blathering into a coherent article. I'll pop the link in the comments.

I am so unbelievably humbled that Graveside Press has jumped on board with my current WIP! The First House is scheduled to release mid-2026. If you love the sound of haunted houses, creepy children, and a good splash of Australian folk lore, then mark your calendars!

I just listened to the recording of the first chapter for The Haunting of Kenmore Asylum audiobook, recorded by the fabulous Laura Tchilinguirian. And OMG! Aaaaaaaargh!!!!! It is PERFECTION!! I literally got chills. More news coming soon.

It's not every day you get to turn down a publishing offer! 😱 I made this meme in good fun, but seriously...TWO publishers believed in my book?! TWO! I can't wait to share more news about The Haunting of Kenmore Asylum, coming this summer (northern hemisphere time) with @gravesidepress.bsky.social

The first Beta Reader review for 'The Corner of Her Eye: The Light' is in!

It's a real tear-jerker folks. Get those tissues ready 🤧

When you come across an abandoned pub, in a rural middle-of-nowhere town, and a rotting sign reads "Come Little Children!" in ominous hand-carved letters...

It's like these Aussie historical horror book ideas just write themselves! 👀💀

Unfortunately, this villain is easily defeated by shellfish 🦐 BUT, I'm back home in my cave resting up for the next time I can escape

They say to write what you know! I have the same medical condition as my character Charlie White. An adult onset allergy so severe I can't even smell the allergen without going into severe anaphylaxis. 1/3

Today I misread this title as 'A F**cker in the Dark'. Now that would be a very different story... I'm very very tired 😅 so please tell me, what have you misread lately that made you chuckle?
