Publication Date for Dragon Moon

Posted by

My publisher tells me that Dragon Moon will be in the bookshops on 27 March in Australia. It may take a few days for them to get them out of the boxes and onto the shelves.

Dragon Moon at the printers

Posted by

Dragon Moon has finally gone to the printers. We had put the finishing touches to it on Sunday night, fiddling around with maps etc. Then at 4 am on Tuesday morning I was woken by a loud noise. I sent my husband to investigate. I have this bell, given to me by Korean friends, that … Continued

Dragon Moon Cover

Posted by

The Dragon Moon cover has been finalised. Here it is. I love it. It fits with the other two books but is bold and different as well. Now all I have to do is finish writing the book! I’m working through the final draft with Ali, my editor, and then it goes to the printer … Continued

Creating Covers

black dog books has got this new feature on their website. There are slideshows of how a bookcover evolves. As it happens, both examples are covers of my books! One is the Australian Dragonkeeper cover which is made up of many different layers. The other is Ned Kelly’s Jerilderie Letter, which doesn’t come out till … Continued

Klapperschlange

Posted by

I have just heard that Dragonkeeper (or Huterin des Drachen) has won the German Kalbacher Klapperschlange award. This is my first award outside Australia, so it is very exciting. It’s hard to find out how my books are going overseas, very hard to get sales figures etc. So it is wonderful news. Klapperschlange means ‘rattlesnake’ … Continued

And a KOALA too

It’s been my year for kids’ choice awards. Dragonkeeper has won the NSW KOALA award for older readers. It’s the first children’s choice award Dragonkeeper has won, so that’s very exciting and thanks to all those readers who voted for it. I went to Sydney to attend the ceremony which was held at the Taronga … Continued

Japanese Edition of Dragonkeeper

Posted by

Yesterday I received copies of the Japanese edition of Dragonkeeper. It’s always exciting seeing the covers of overseas versions of books. Sometimes I’m pleased with them, sometimes not so much. In this case I’m delighted with the cover. It’s lovely. Very different to the original Australian cover. The illustrator has obviously read the book (which … Continued

Rita at 7 months

The first draft of Dragon Moon is finished, so I am having a bit of a breather before I start on the second draft. Not that I’m sitting around doing nothing. There are final touches to be done to what will be my next book The Jerilderie Letter which is an illustrated version of Ned … Continued
