Four Stories from Four Different Worlds

Ever find yourself in a space where your reading habits are best described as “miscellaneous”? This reflects my recent reading experience.

Everything’s Coming Up Rosie

I’m not sure when it happened, but Courtney Walsh became a “one-click author” for me. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, it means I’ll press that orange Buy now with 1-Click button on Amazon without even reading the blurb of her books… because I know I’m in excellent hands.

We live on opposite sides of the world, […]

Not the most delightful way to kick off the post–Term 1 school holidays. My grand plans to tackle Mount Washmore and get some solid […]

Some Like It Scot

People’s accents have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. As one of those “odd duck” kids, I’d mimic different accents—usually well enough not to offend the owner of said accent. I was pretty decent at imitating international cricket commentators, actors from my favourite British TV shows, and (during one interesting phase of […]
