As the year draws to a close, I was excited to learn that 'Dancing with Empty Prams' has been longlisted in the Tasmanian Literary Awards, for the Tim Thorne Prize for Poetry. See details on all the longlisted books here. I am in such fabulous company, with many books on the longlist being favourites of mine. It's a special delight to be listed alongside Esther Ottaway's 'She Doesn't Seem Autistic' which I launched at several joint events in Hobart and online last year.
I was also delighted with the cover of my upcoming book, 'Incandescence', being finalised, designed by my fabulous friend Jen Lorrimar-Shanks, and featuring a photo by another fabulous friend, Pen Clark.
