Hi Kelly,
Really like your blog (and totally agree about the wonderful but tragic Albert Nobbs) but at the moment i’m after a bio type paragraph to go into the publicity for our Words a t the Warrandyte Cafe session on Sunday 12th.
I didn’t realise you had so many other strings to your bow, I doesn’t seem fair to push the young adult fiction line. And i think there will be as many people interested in your other projects too. Cheers, karen
