Fleshing Out the Bones: How to Turn Family Facts into Fiction

I’m taking Black Wattle to Dunsborough! 

This November, 12th, I’ll be at Dunsborough Library talking about the story behind the novel, the characters who came to life on the page, and the history of group settlement that inspired it.

I’m really looking forward to meeting local readers and sharing a little of the world of Black Wattle with you. 📚✨

 BLACK WATTLE

SYNOPSIS: History does not disappear, it follows us... Saint Augustine said, "The dead are invisible, not absent." We carry the genes, the culture, and the stories of those who come before us. Every family's past shapes how we understand time and place. In 1924, Alice tells a terrible lie to reinvent herself, seeking refuge in the ill-fated Western Australian Group Settlement Scheme. But the past is not so easily erased. As she struggles to forget, fear silences her, and history leaves her behind.
