Today marks my seven-year anniversary, since publishing my first book, ‘Possession of my Soul: The Three Immortal Blades’, as a once upon a time baby author. I can’t believe the amazing adventure and personal success I’ve had in that time! Writing helped me as an angsty fifteen-year-old who had just lost her home and belongings in a house fire, dealing with generic hormones and teen drama…

And that’s a wrap. I started my new manuscript on Monday and I’m already 20,000 words in! Horaah! Now it’s no surprise that this is another eerie, lustful, action-packed read with a kick-a$$ heroine. And as I found myself twirling on my chair staring at the ceiling today, taking one of many writing breaks, I had to wonder to myself… do I secretly wish I was an evil character? Okay, hear me out. I have three reasons to lead to this question…

Have you watched it yet? Oh my goodness to say I feel emotionally overwhelmed by the release of ‘Shadow and Bone’ on Netflix is an understatement. Firstly, Leigh Bardugo’s series, Six of Crows is my favourite books EVER! I absolutely love Leigh Bardugo’s writing and found it very clever in the way that they incorporated both series and characters into the ‘Shadow and Bone’ Netflix series. Secondly, it was well executed in my opinion and it came as no surprise that might’ve been because Leigh Bardugo actually had say in what happened. And did you spot her amongst the crowd, she was in one of the scenes! How cool is that!

I recently had to remind myself that experiencing new things was a wonderful way to spark imagination and creative muse. I usually experience so many different and wonderful things when I travel and for the last year, I’ve gotten into a very strict routine which hasn’t offered much time for exploration. So, I decided to go to my local mountains, Mount Tamborine, hike through the rainforest and check out a ‘Glow Worm’ cave.

I think it’s time to rest after the storm. WOWZERS, Token Phantom was a hella crazy release last week. And I doubled it up with a deadline to send to the editor too. (I’m a sucker for punishment) So this week I’m focusing and reminding myself the importance of self-love, care and rest.

For those of you who have followed my journey for some time now, you know that I absolutely love travelling. Obviously with Covid, I’ve remained in Australia for the last year. But before that, for the first time in a long time, I’d settled down in Edinburgh, Scotland calling the land of castles, whiskey, and Hairy Coo’s home for just under two years.
Covid has effected all of us in many ways. When the world began shutting borders and Europe so quickly started shutting off to the world and spreading across the UK in the same fashion, I went into panic mode. Like most of us, I hadn’t realized the severity of the situation until it was almost too late to return to my home country. I’m Australian…

So, I decided to throw a random video up there of my sister, Jasmin and I playing the ‘Floor is Lava’ on our Europe trip in 2020. Now this game my younger siblings and I have been playing for years and it’s more so for personal amusement than anything else as we try to set one another up at the most inappropriate time and challenging environments. What I didn’t expect was…

YOUR EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK I turned to Sasha with a predatory gaze. I had a reputation befitting of me amongst the many Kingdoms of our land. Most either feared me or crazily obsessed over me. But this one was different, no signs of either. I jumped off my seat and with lightning speed, came to […]
