I write!
This month I have had the exciting pleasure of having two short stories published! Yay! This is a first for me and the beginning of a childhood dream to be a writer!
Earlier this year, without really realising what I was doing, I wrote two stories about walking in the Tasmanian wilderness.
The first one "Nothofagus gunnii Snow Fall" is about a woman walking at Cradle Mountain who trips and falls. The second, "Bessell's Creek" is the true story of four brothers, one of whom was my great-grandfather, who discovered gold in a creek east of Launceston in 1878 and started a gold rush.
Both have been published in anthologies of short stories. Please consider buying these books. They both feature Australian writers telling a variety of stories, some of which you may not like, but some of which you might love. I hope, you at least enjoy my stories and I hope they are the first of many more to come.
