Check out this book filled with extracts of upcoming books from Allen and Unwin - they're releasing it at - a festival for young adults to get into books. You can read the first few chapters of my next book, Future Girl, which is the art journal of a sixteen year old girl exploring her Deaf identity. Future Girl will be published in July 2020. What really chuffs me about this book of extracts, is that my name is in here alongside Scott Westerfield! I am such a fan of his Uglies series - I even read it to get ideas for Future Girl!

Anyway if you want a copy of this, head over to - book here: https://bit.ly/2WXOc7K

I thought you might like to take a look at this pin I made about Future Girl. So happy this book is contracted, scheduled, and really and truly happening. The plan is for it to hit the bookshelves in November 2017.

I am giving away the Epithium. If you have seen my second Grimstones show, Mortimer Revealed, you will know that the Epithium is a harp-like instrument played by Mortimer Grimstone. It's beautiful, very gothic looking, and comes in its own wooden carry box. But I would would like it to go to someone who would display it and enjoy it in their home rather than keeping it in the box. Is anyone interested? You'd need to pick it up from me in Northcote, Melbourne.

Would any young Grimstones fans like a box of lovely gothic miniatures left over from The Grimstones? They'd be great to use to make installations, puppet shows, dollshouses etc. If you are interested can you pick up from me in Northcote, Melbourne, in the next day or so?

I have just made myself a new pair of shoes. Last year I made some canvas shoes, lined with fur from my rabbit, and they are the best shoes I have ever owned. They're a bit loose, so I need...
