Red dirt in my veins
Ocean at my feet
Wind in my hair
Stars in my eyes
Stories on my tongue
Basket and fibre-sculpture by Karen Wyld
me
I’m a broke-as middle-aged motorbike-riding uppity marta-marta writer.
My self-published novel, When Rosa Came Home, was short-listed for a South Australian People’s Choice Award in 2015.
The draft manuscript for my next book, Where The Fruit Falls, was short-listed in the 2017 Richell Prize. This manuscript will be completed during the 2018 Hardcopy professional development program for writers, which I was awarded a scholarship to attend.
I’m currently working on a couple of manuscripts that I hope to either find publishers for or the financial means to self-publish.
In 2017, I closed my independent bookshop. So I am surrounded by boxes of books. My online clearance ‘store’ has some great bargains.
I am now a freelance writer, consultant and author.
this website
The original purpose of this site was to build confidence as a writer. And I now use it to promote my consultancy services and freelance writing.
Despite the changes, I’m still a writer, and this is still a writer’s blog.
If you like what you read, or want to support me to write more content, please do so via the ‘pay now’ buttons in the right hand sidebar on any page of this blog. On mobile devices – see drop down menu at the top. I also have monthly subscriber buttons (see right hand sidebar – note these do not appear on mobile devices).
Thanks for the support!
