@skinnylatte my father's special skill on family trips was to explore interesting looking quiet side roads. They always, and I mean always, went to the town rubbish dump.

@liztai thank you for an interesting review

@liztai I'm a recent convert, 2024. I can only access what's on Netflix or Australia's SBS tv streaming, but there's a lot there. Watching my first Korean one right now. I also like programs from Turkiye, Spain and Italy. Slow pace is a plus, matches my current state of mind 😴

@liztai I wish my country would follow the BRICS path. Right now we are on a road to nowhere good.

Fantasy need not be epic! My first fantasy is out now. The Tyrant of Spite is a light-hearted novella with coming of age and romance themes. Nothing epic or grim, I went for a very light touch with a little magic.

I designed the cover using a licensed image from Tithi Luadthong (@grandfailure on iStock) and Photoshop. This wonderful illustration inspired the story.

Available now from Amazon as an ebook.

My photo, best I've ever taken. I'm very proud of it.
It's at the Tulip Top Gardens just outside Canberra, taken in 2013.

My photo of Weereewa / Lake George New South Wales, north east of Canberra.
This is a shallow lake that dries out during droughts. At the time of Australian federation in 1901 it was considered as a possible site for the new capital. In the end Canberra was chosen.
A former Federal treasurer complained about how much he hated the wind turbines on the far side.
One of my better images, I think because there is more light and shade contrast than usual. Or the lake is just very photogenic.

I'm proud to announce the ebook release of my first poetry anthology, "Emerging Fully Weird". I'm proud of the cover too, created by me using a licensed stock illustration. I think it captures the spirit of my poems very well.
Available from https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTV9VK48 (and all the other amazon stores too)
