A lovely review from Jessica Incoll over at Glam Adelaide.
Am gosh-darned-blown-away by this lovely review over at But Books are Better !
Me talking about career, characters and pigeons over at Theresa Smith Writes. Thanks for having me, Theresa!
A very kind and lovely review from 1girl2manybooks.
It’s been a scary/exciting/nauseating two weeks knowing that the book is out in the world now and that [shock horror!] people may actually be reading it. But reviews like this make all the late night cheese-eating seem worth it.
The first review of The Book of Ordinary People!
‘…a heart-warming and thought-provoking novel’ – lovely words from Sharon Peterson at Readings St Kilda.

I’ll be launching The Book of Ordinary People on Sunday August 19, 3pm-5pm at Neighbourhood Books in Northcote.
Catering by the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, sparkling on arrival, an uncomfortable and panicked speech from me… what’s not to like?
