A photo of a smiling 30-something woman with brown hair and glasses.
Had a great time yesterday being filmed for community TV show 5 or 8, who interviewed me about my writing.
Itβll be on Channel 31, YouTube, and elsewhere - eventually!
This is what I looked like beforehand.

A screenshot of the cover of Pick Your Potion from Amazon.com, with a 4.7 star rating on Amazon and a 4.0 star rating on Goodreads.
This week marks one year since Pick Your Potion was released. In that time itβs been an Aurealis Awards finalist, longlisted for the British Science Fiction Association Awards, and on the Locus Recommended Reading List. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported it. That means so much to me. π
