Didn’t see the irony of taking @leekofman’s fascinating and deeply personal book to the hair salon until I hit the section on beauty and vanity. #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writers #bookcover #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookish #read #instabook #bookaddict #bookpic #australianauthor #memoir
Had an amazing chat with David Sedaris last night, who is super generous to everyone who waits to get their book signed. His talk was fantastic too! #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookish #read #instabook #bookaddict #books #booklover
I have a new book coming out this year from @affirmpress! It’s called ‘How to Be Australian’ and it’s a memoir about home and identity and anxiety, but mostly it’s a love letter to Australia, and if you’re on Twitter following #AuthorsforFireys you can bid to have your name in the acknowledgements and get one of the very first signed copies (approximately mid-year).

According to this collage, 2019 was a super year (and that middle row!💕) despite the ongoing fatigue. Huge thanks to everyone who supported #MyNameIsRevenge, your wonderfulness is forever etched on my heart. #bestnine #australianfiction #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writers #bookcover #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookish #read #instabook #bookaddict #bookpic #australianauthor #armeniangenocide #armenia #crime #thriller
I’m pretty sure if you had told me 25 years ago that my favourite thing about Christmas morning in the future would be quiet time to work on my manuscript, I would’ve laughed and laughed. Hope your Christmas is merry! . . #australianfiction #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writers #bibliophile #read #australianauthor
My short story, ‘Dear Lord, Protect This Rocket House’ has been on display at Mounted Gallery in the Blue Mountains this past month, paired with (and inspired by) this fascinating painting from Australian artist @paulrmallam. The exhibition paired writers and visual artists, and was a real delight to take part in. Along with taking its inspiration from Paul Mallam’s original work, this flash fiction draws on the true story of self-taught rocket scientist Mike Hughes. A sixty-year-old limo driver from California, Hughes believes the Earth is ‘shaped like a frisbee’. In 2018, he launched himself into the sky above the Mojave Desert, reaching 560 km/hour before crashing back down a mere half-kilometre from his launch ramp. Describing his rocket, he said: ‘This thing wants to kill you ten different ways.’ Thirteenth-century Christian lore describes angels relocating the House of Our Lady of Nazareth first to Croatia, then Italy, and perhaps those same angels kept Hughes alive on that day. His constructed reality, a mishmash of religion and science, and his niche celebrity, epitomise our current zeitgeist. #australianfiction #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writers #bookish #read #instabook #bookaddict #australianauthor #artistsoninstagram
