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
Who am I?
Identity is so complex but if I was to put it into one sentence: I’m a broke-as middle-aged motorbike-riding marta-marta writer.
My unpolished self-published novel, When Rosa Came Home, was short-listed for a South Australian People’s Choice Award in 2015. I am currently working on a couple of manuscripts.
The draft manuscript for my next book, Where The Fruit Falls, has been short-listed in the 2017 Richell Prize. Winner will be announced on 1 November 2017.
Earlier in 2017, I had to make the tough decision to close my independent bookshop. I’m still in debt, and still surrounded by boxes of books. My temporary online clearance ‘store’ has some great bargains.
I am currently working as a freelance writer and consultant (aka broke and job-hunting).
