"And bigger than all of that, I knew that sometimes you had to do the impossible like eat oysters or go shopping even when you could hardly breathe because that is what people did when they truly loved one another and it had nothing to do with freckles or anklebones or lipstick." -Painted Love Letters.

Univerisity of Queensland Press, 2004

The Airdancer of Glass was my first attempt at speculative fiction.
 I really enjoyed writing it and learnt a lot about world building.
I'm using those skills in my new book, which is a fantasy novel.
