I love getting out and sharing my love of writing. Here I am at the Perth Writer's Festival, 2010, speaking at family day.

And, later, signing books at the Festival bookstore.

Here I am again with Linda Blackshaw, of the Society of Women's Writers (WA) in July 2009, when I presented a Writing for Children Workshop which was well attended.

It looks like I've stepped back into the past, and it felt like it too. This is me at the State Library of SA. I was there for the Re:Views Conference and the All Write Festival in March, 2005.

There is nothing more satisfying for an author than the launch of a new book. And the launch of Pemberthy Bear was magical.

Here I am with New Frontier's owners, Peter and Sophia Whitfield.

With Jacqui, signing the books (look at the yummy teddy bear cake!)

Here I am with John Cohen, the editor of Reading Time and Jacqui Grantford, the illustrator.

Having good friends who are also authors means conferences can be lots of fun. Here I am in Hobart at the CBCA Conference in 2003, with author friends Sue Whiting and Claire Saxby. We are trying to look like the three wise monkeys.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe I really wrote these books! Here I am amazed at the posters advertising MY book at the Hobart conference.

I love getting out and about to share my books with others. Here I am in 2004 at the Koorda Show at my book display and, later, reading The Floatingest Frog in the story corner. Those hay bales were a little prickly!
