Listing Life
What You'll Find Here
I think being curious is awesome. Reading great books, watching interesting videos, and listening or reading about fascinating people is how I love to learn about the world and those in it. This blog is a way for me to share my discoveries.

A Manifesto (or, 8 Thoughts That Help)
Earlier this week, I was invited to speak at my local Zonta’s Annual International Women’s Day Dinner. It was a huge honour, and not just because my fellow guest speaker was Marnie Baker - CEO of Bendigo Bank (she is absolutely incredible btw). With over 200 (mostly)...
Big, exciting, wonderful news
Well, what a whirlwind the last few months have been! The last time I posted, I referenced the Friends Reunion, so it’s safe to say it’s been a while. I’ve been busy—writing, pitching, working, living. So much of the writing life is pretty boring to the outside...
Comfort consumption
It’s been over a year since the word ‘Covid’ impacted us all and, so far, it’s showing no signs of disappearing. In my little pocket of the planet, we’ve been locked down again this past week. That has meant home schooling, small businesses drowing (when they were...
Intention, not comparison
This week I am launching my upcoming book – Listing Life. Exciting, yes, but also weirdly scary. There’s something about putting yourself (and the things you do) out in to the world that is positively terrifying, no matter how many times you do it. I’ll talk more...
First time jitters
Well then. Here we are. First times are always a little awkward, aren't they? I am always wanting to share random things with random people and it seems this space is no different. A short list of books you might like, or articles you might find interesting, or an...
Eleanor Jones Is Not A Murderer
Karen McManus and Holly Jackson meets Fleur Ferris in this fast-paced YA murder mystery.
Eleanor Jones has just started at her ninth high school in less than five years. Since she and her mum are always moving on, Eleanor likes to stay on the outer, to stay invisible. So maybe it’s just bad luck that the very first person she talks to at Cooinda Secondary College, Angus Marshall, is stabbed and left for dead the same day. The last message on Angus’s phone is from Eleanor Jones.
After being interviewed by the police, Eleanor realises they don’t have all the facts and decides to investigate. In trying to understand what happened to Angus, Eleanor inadvertently becomes involved with an eclectic group of fellow students – all of whom have their own reasons to want to solve the mystery.
As they slowly unravel Angus’s secrets, Eleanor discovers the true meaning of friendship – and uncovers a danger lurking at the heart of the town . . .

Listing Life (the book)
What am I doing? What do I really want to do? What am I good at? How can I be happier, or more content with the way my life feels? How do I do the things that I really want to do?
Big questions, to be sure.
The truth is, the answers are all there inside you, you just need a little help uncovering them.
This book of lists lets you discover, in a simple, easy and fun way, how to find out who you are; what you enjoy; and to work out the best way to live a life that is perfect for you.
You can purchase a copy from the publisher here.
Or from Amazon, or Booktopia, or Barnes & Noble (more online stores coming soon, along with the ebook version!)
Be interested. Be curious. Be kind. Be you.
