Well 2019 has been a roller coaster, and it’s not over yet!
On June 12 our family was completed when little Joshua Daniel Paul was born. He’s now almost 5 months old and the sweetest baby on the planet (some bias is to be expected, right?).
Lucky for me Joshua is a great sleeper, so I have been able to tinker away on a few creative projects during maternity leave. In August I wrote two short stories for the Buzz Words Magazine Short Story Competition. Both have made it to the long list so far, with the short list to be announced mid-November.
In September I entered three story ideas in the Just Kids Lit ‘Pitch It!’ Competition, one of which has made the long list, yay!
In October I signed my second illustration contract with a traditional publisher … more details to come!
And last week I was awarded an Illustration Mentorship with the Australian Society of Authors. How exciting!
I’ve also been brushing up some older manuscripts, drawing like a madwoman – check out some new artwork on my Portfolio page – and even submitting new work to publishers. Oh and of course, working steadily on the third David book: David and the Song of the Lyreshaw.
It’s truly been a great year, and 2020 is shaping up to be truly spectacular 🙂
