I just want to say a big and public thanks to Sarah Armstrong, who has been kindly helping me with this blog. Each time I want to put photos with my post I have to send the lot to Sarah one at a time and she has to go through them all and upload them individually to the blog and make sure they look decent. I’m sure she had no idea how many times I’d be asking her to do it when she first agreed. Sarah and I have been in a writing group together since – oh, I think it’s 1999 when I first moved to Byron Bay – and have seen each other through each of our books just about from start to finish. Sarah’s gorgeous book Salt Rain was shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award – a very great honour for a first novel.

Big thanks Sarah – being able to include photos makes a huge difference.
