It’s the start of 2014 & it’s drop in time before the crazy life of writing tours, events, festivals , school visits, media …. start seriously.
Where’s the drop in centre? You guessed it -The Hughenden.
I loved catching up with:-
-the award winning Albany (WA) Dianne Wolfer whose Lighthouse Girl & Lighthouse Boy (Fremantle Press) are best sellers!
- Monica Lizama the Chilean-Australian writer who dresses up as her character PAWS!
- Jennie Orchard with Margaret Wilcox from Room to Read who are developing the Writer Ambassador programme to raise awareness of the need to educate the kids of Asaa and Africa. SCBWI is on board with lots of our authors taking on the role of ambassadors.
- Libby Hathorn dropping in with her poetry books and she’s got a new book coming out with HarperCollins on ANZACS.
- Chris Cheng with Bini getting ready to head off to New York for the SCBWI Conference and then Bologna Book Fair …. and other favourite creators!
And I’m getting my spangles ready to hit Las Vegas for the I AM JACK season at the Smith Center of performing Arts!\
I’m staying at the EXCALIBUR HOTEL, so getting into princess gear … their could be some princes there. or toads!
