Yeah and my mind just keeps coming back to this!

Finished this wonderful novel BAD ART MOTHER by Edwina Preston. I've loved her earlier writing. Her style is so cool + sophisticated + the voice of Owen beguiling + full of pain. Her ability to write across genres so convincingly is rare. How to balance motherhood + art? Great topic to wrestle with.

I'll be chatting at CLUNES BOOKTOWN FESTIVAL on 22 March at 3.30pm. Spinning Disks: Writing About Music with @thuyon.bsky.social, Jordan Prosser + Daniel Burt from @3rrrfm.bsky.social - writing fiction in #almostamirror + the Kylie/Nick anthologies. Tix here: tickets.clunesbooktown.com.au/Events

And my fave #kylieminogue song of all time. I’ve heard it’s Kylie’s too. SLOW ...

And more KYLIE! Check out the book SPINNING AROUND for @thuyon.bsky.social's wonderful take on this song!

After editing the anthology SPINNING AROUND - THE KYLIE PLAYLIST, @angelasavage.bsky.social and I were THRILLED to see #kylieminogue in Melbourne. She was absolutely brilliant; the lights, dancers, visuals - wow! Woke up to glitter on my pillow. Here were my fave Kylie songs from the night ...

So much fun with a Hollywood action flick taking over the streets of my small town, Castlemaine. Liam Neeson in The Mongoose. The smell of burning rubber and stunts close enough to touch. The attention to detail - even planting real geraniums at a fake cafe. #castlemaine #liamneeson #themongoose

I've decided to only call the President 'Rump' from now on - given his penchant for removing important letters of the alphabet like 'T' from necessary places I'm sure he won't mind.

The Saints doing Stranded at Theatre Royal. I did an #almostamirror podcast about this song + was excited to see it live + new incarnation of the band. Missed the soul + humour of Chris Bailey but it still felt raucous and exciting. For a deep dive head here: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/a...

Look what I discovered when I went to my local bookstore Stonemans! All indie bookstores in Oz will be using SPINNING AROUND: THE KYLIE PLAYLIST paper gift bags so hopefully you’ll take some Xmas books home in one! Beautifully designed + very cool.
