Hello folks,

A lot has happened since the last time I posted.

The Warlock’s Curse

March marked the eagerly awaited release of Book Four in the Syrane Chronicles series, titled ‘The Warlock’s Curse.’ Now available in both paperback and Kindle formats, the latest instalment has been unleashed into the world.

Here are all four books on my bookshelf. They look kinda cool all together

The Syrane Chronicles: Collection One

Speaking of Kindle, the first three novels (A Miscast Spell, The Archmage’s Tower and Dance of Death) are available on Kindle as ‘The Syrane Chronicles: Collection One’. It’s a virtual boxed set.

Book Five of the Syrane Chronicles

I’ve been working hard on book five of the Syrane Chronicles. I’m pleased to report the first draft is 54,000 words at the moment (probably about halfway done).

And, book five has a name. I’m calling it ‘Somewhere in Time’. Will it still be called that when it’s finished? Good question. Time will tell.

Yes, that was a time pun.

Other news

In a departure from literary news, Tasmania’s sporting prowess has shone brightly on the national stage.

Cricket

Our cricket team, the Tasmania Tigers, showcased their talent by advancing to the final of the prestigious Sheffield Shield competition. Despite a valiant effort, they faced formidable opponents in the form of Western Australia, who were a little too good for the Tigers over the course of the four-day contest.

Basketball

The Tasmania JackJumpers clinched their inaugural NBL Title in a thrilling showdown against Melbourne United. The tightly contested five-game finals series culminated in a victory for the JackJumpers, marking a historic moment for the team and their fans.

AFL Football

And at long last Tasmania’s entry into the AFL, the Australian Football Code was announced. Very exciting. I’m not sure this will lead me to renounce my Geelong Cats membership, but it’s exciting for local players, coaches and administrators. It’s great to get a team that will inspire and support young women and men to play in a Tasmanian team.

Book Fair

On 4 May 2024 I’ll take part in the Tassie Indie Author Book Fair. Held this year at the Salamanca Arts Centre in Hobart, it will run from 10am to 3pm. If you’re in the local area, please come visit!

Thanks for reading!
