Blog #9 2020: Hotel Quarantine DAY FOUR
Back again. First up congratulations to anyone who correctly identified the intertextual links to the two films in the previous blog. Especially ALEX G. who picked “All work and no play makes Ard a dull girl” as being a reference … Continue reading
Blog #8 2020: Hotel Quarantine DAY THREE
Yes it’s hard to believe but it’s already GROUNDHOG DAY THREE here in the 5 Star High Security Marriott. Honestly it seems like yesterday that I was moaning and whining about it “only being DAY TWO“! Anyway I’ve got loads … Continue reading

It’s always lovely when writer friends are in town and drop in for a visit and it’s especially lovely when that visitor is the inaugural Australian Children’s Laureate (2012-13) BOORI MONTY PRYOR. Besides being an award-winning author (PM’s Award 2011 … Continue reading
Blog #1 2020: In which I pave the 2020 road with a few good intentions.
Well it’s 2020 and I can’t believe most of January is gone already. Could everyone just slow down a bit till I catch my breath! I did a quick check and saw that in 2019 I only managed 7 blogs … Continue reading
