It’s happening! My debut middle grade novel is set for release on August 31!

Written and illustrated by me! For you! Or for kids aged 8-12, really…but also you, if you want!

Here’s my cover to give you all a sneak peek!

And, yes, it’s about an echidna!

New picture book alert! 🚨 Bigfoot vs Yeti: a love story by @jamesfoleybooks.bsky.social is a very funny and sweet, modern day Romeo & Juliet story.
And I just love the lino cut-esque illustrations!

Had a brilliant meeting with my fellow volunteers on the Children's Book Council of SA committee today. Planning LOTS of exciting events for both our SA 80th birthday in 2025 & the National birthday of CBCA. With 'Book an Adventure' theme, 2025 is going to be epic! #loveozkidlit #OzKidLit #loveozmg
