Howdy! Not sure on the Bluesky vibe around self-promo, but I really wanted to share my current central writing project — serialized bedtime stories on Substack. My fave is about a lost pigeon in New York City who undertakes a jewellery heist.

This Miyazaki clip is just chef’s kiss perfection 👌
The AI Ghibli avatars have to truly be one of the worst bastardisations of an artist’s vision in recent history.

Looking back at my old walking route to uni, I truly didn’t appreciate just how good I had it.

Looking back at my old walking route to uni, I truly didn’t appreciate just how good I had it.
I absolutely love the behind the scenes stuff related to the visual art that people create, but I’m always wondering what those kinds of bts posts look like for writers?
Notes in a notebook? Your writing set-up?
What would be some good ways to show the writing process?

Just hit publish on a new bedtime story about a little pup in a big storm ⛈️
“Suddenly, just as she is about to throw the ball, my wagging tail drops between my legs and stops moving. An abrupt weird, funny feeling takes over me. The balls gets thrown, but I don't flinch at all.”

I had the recent great privilege of seeing the Queensland Symphony Orchestra! 🎶
It was a cinematics special in case you’re wondering about the Riddler and Robin!
There is something very special about a live orchestra.
Also, check out the organ at the back! What an incredible building!

It's funny just how far away next Christmas feels around this time of year. For a kid, it may as well be a thousand years away.
I decided to write a story about that feeling.
I would absolutely love to hear what you think! 🎄

Earlier this year, I wrapped up my free kids book about a lost pigeon in New York City.
From Central Park chases to a jewellery heist, I hope you get a kick out of Lew’s story 😊 🐦

Love, love, LOVE the current in vogue style of contemporary book covers. Colour, creativity, mood, fun, and often that slightly matte texture to the touch (without it feeling fuzzy).
