Some of my proof readers for A Fox Of Storms And Starlight are both not Australian, and not familiar with the way Australians talk about trees, both singularly and collectively. So I wrote this note to go in the front of the book, and because it amused me, I thought I’d share 😀 A Note […]

…because I can’t put my hands on any pictures of Created Stuff right now but hey! It’s February! Which means it’s time for the blog to resurrect out of the ashes of the holiday season. (Literal ashes here in Australia, oy.) Just going to aim for quick updates for the next little bit while I

Support firefighters, win books! (Plus a sneaky title/cover reveal from me 😉 ) As most of you will know, the last month+ has seen bushfires raging right around Australia in an unprecedented fire-season event. I am extremely fortunate that I have not been personally impacted, except for the cancellation of some events. My mum was

Hannah Peel all over is very #FoxBooky, but this one is a particular favourite, all the more so after seeing the music video that goes with it for the first time in constructing this post.

Just totally snowed under by work etc this week. Have the new opening to #FoxBook as a thank you for being here despite my non-brain-ness :3 <3 Trigger warnings: The dog starts out dead. It’s not described in horrific detail, but if that’s problematic for, you skip the first 400 words and start at the

I adore this song from The Hobbit, and although the lyrics aren’t a close match necessarily (although something in them is, *grin*), the TONE of this song is so, so #FoxBook. Enjoy, and happy Friday!
