I’m delighted to be a part of the 2026 Write Here festival. I have 2 events. The first is on Friday, 15 May from 10:00 – 12:00, a repeat of the fabulous Literary Cruise I did last year, leaving from Booragul Wharf. This year we will combine Devonshire tea with a relaxing cruise and immersive and eco-focused writing exercises that will give new life to your work as you engage with the beauty of Lake Macquarie and the fragility of our world.
