Hello!

Greetings blog! It has been too long!

Life has been crazy, but good, as always... To fill you in. I'm taking a gap year and I have been working full time for the last three weeks... COMPLETELY different lifestyle, but i'm getting used to it. So now I am a pharmacy assistant for two pharmacies and I am an employed youth leader. Wooot.  Once again, crazy, but good.

I'm also working on my next book- soooo excited! It's working title is called "Sticks & Stones" with illustrations by the wonderful Rachel Carroll. Stay tuned for more info! I've also had two exhibitions in the last few weeks that I have spoken at - well opened- with a poetry reading. You should definitely check out Cheralyn Darcey's exhibition while it is still open- just google her name! And also, "Reflections" at Dank St, Waterloo... by the amazing Rachel Carroll, Matt Weatherstone, Cade Turner and Meredith Woolnough. Incredible.

At "Reflections" I actually read aloud my first sonnet... It was a strange experience because I used the "Shakespearian" form- and to read out a sonnet based on the writer I admire was a tricky thing. I hope I did it justice! I chose to read my first sonnet because it seemed to capture the essence of the exhibition- "reflections"- because it was exactly that.  A reflection. (s). xx
