For six years I was
editor-in-chief of a staff magazine, and spent several years as editor for a local
not-for-profit newsletter. I do
freelance editing and spent two years as a freelance
book editor for an overseas publishing house.
I've judged many
(fiction) writing competitions, and wrote a monthly travel article for a
magazine in the US for three years. I've had copious articles for writers
published, covering techniques for both fiction
and non-fiction. Many of those can be found on
this site, and I'll be adding to those as time
permits.
In addition to being
multi-published in non-fiction articles, short
stories, poetry and humour articles, I am the
author of best selling ebooks
Think
Outside the Square: Writing Publishable (Short)
Stories,
I Wanna Win! - Tips for Becoming an
Award Winning Writer
and my latest book
Outside the Square Fiction Workshop. You can check
out all my books by

I also conduct
online fiction workshops
when time permits, as
well as presenting workshops to conferences,
libraries, schools, and writer's groups.
My debut novel
Saving Emma
was released January 1,
2005 and was #9
bestseller (February 2005) #7 bestseller (May
2005) Publisher's Pick (August 2005) and #3
bestseller (August 2005) - all of which make me
incredibly happy. My contract with this publisher has finished,
and the book is to be re-released by
The Wild Rose Press - I don't have a
release date as yet.
Oh, and another book was released December 2005 - this one
entirely different. It's
called
A Very Aussie Christmas, and includes all of my favourite
Christmas recipes, most of which have been in my family for many
years - some for generations.
I also contributed to
an anthology about cancer
called Cancer:
A Personal Challenge.
Both my parents died from lung cancer, so the subject is very dear
to my heart. You can read about the book
here.
In addition to that
book, I've also contributed
to several non-fiction books, including
Writer Profits: How I Got
the Gig, Volume I
. My story was the lead
in that book, and I was paid US$500 for the priviledge!
Another book scheduled for release
is The Write Resources. This book
full of tips and resources for writers. Practically all
the resources in the book are free, and most are on the
internet. This book is to be published by
Central Avenue Press. Date TBA.
I also write for businesses, more
commonly known as copywriting. This is a very lucrative
form of writing. You can learn more about it
here.
What else can I tell
you? Hmmmm..... maybe that around seven years
ago I had not been published? Perhaps you'd like
to know that I have a debilitating lung disease
and a major immune deficiency. I have four-weekly
transfusions for the latter, and have to be
hospitalised with pneumonia at least once a
year, but I don't let any of this stop me.
If I can do it, you can
too!
