GenreCon 2024

So, 2024 got off to a cracking pace! We are already nearly at the end of February… and that means GenreCon in Brisbane on the 24th February! I am excited to be on a panel with:

Kim Wilkins, Gary Lonesborough, Patrick Ness, Cale Dietrich discussing all things YA, or NA and the blurred lines in between. And then, an In Conversation with my fave Julie Janson… talking all things writerly!

Double Lives Short-listed in the Danger Awards 2023

I received the very exciting news that Double Lives has been shortlisted in the Danger Awards for 2023. The Danger Awards champion books featuring Australia as a setting for stories about crime and justice. This year the festival theme is ‘A place for every crime story and a crime story for every place.’

Perusing the list I was honoured to be acknowledged alongside some of Australia’s heavyweights of crime writing:

  • Brunswick Street Blues (Sally Bothroyd, HarperCollins)
  • Daughters of Eve (Nina D Campbell, A&U)
  • The Tilt (Chris Hammer, A&U)
  • Exiles (Jane Harper, Pan)
  • Double Lives (Kate McCaffrey, Echo)
  • The Torrent (Dinuka McKenzie, HarperCollins)
  • Black River (Matthew Spencer, A&U)
  • Dirt Town (Hayley Scrivenor, Pan)

This year, a People’s Choice Award has been introduced and will be announced on 3 November. Readers can cast their vote on shortlisted titles until 28 October. So if you liked Double Lives go over there and vote! Or, you can use the link below:
