Beach Shorts a Sandthology is an eclectic mix of diverse tales, peppered with the optimism of a refreshing trip to the beach. Short stories, long stories, sweet, savoury & funny stories. By the author of The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl #happy #beach

Come spend the morning with me at the fabulous Glenelg library on Nov 26. Glenelg beach was one of the gorgeous beaches that inspired Beach Shorts a Sandthology. I'll be talking about why I write, how I write, and the joy of optimistic fiction. Hope to see you there ❤️

It's lovely seeing the sun shining on a plant. So peaceful and happy. This rose is enjoying the morning sunshine as much as I am ☀️ #roses #sunshine

I love how the pink & the blue of my books complement each other so perfectly A really pretty pair. All credit to our fabulous creative designer 🥳 We've already selected the colour for next year's release. Just lovely! #beachshortsasandthology #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

Thought I'd transplanted some flat leafed parsley ... Nope, looks like celery. The seeds must have been in the ground for a couple of years! Nature is amazing 😍 #homegrownveg #selfseed #celery #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl #beachshortsasandthology

Unfortunately our lovely Storytellers event at City of Marion libraries on November 10th has had to be postponed until March next year! Disappointed, but looking forward to it then 😍 I'll keep you posted here with the new date.

We've had an addition! Local author Tilley Baxter is joining Scott Smith and me, Joni Page, at the Meet the Storytellers event at Marion library on Tuesday 10 November. Bookings through eventbrite 🎉 Hope to see you there! ❤️ #beachshortsasandthology

The follow-up to The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl started its journey to publication last month & is now with the first editor. The books stand alone with a different set of characters so you don't need to read them in order! So exciting ❤️ #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl #newbook
