Glory Days

I took a break from writing my novel and spent the afternoon watching my old football team. Back in the day, I was captain of the Figtree Titans and played for them for over 10 years. An added bonus for today’s game was that a bloke from work was playing for the opposition. The Titans prevailed 5-1. Yay!

The author flies through the air to make a powerful defensive header.

The photo above was taken at Coledale, a beachside northern Illawarra suburb.

Burned, my crime novel-in-progress progresses well.

Trade Children’s Books

The writing trade for children can be broadly broken down into two types: Trade publishing (books that can bought in bookshops – both physical and online) and education publishing (books that are used to teach children reading, comprehension and the like). Inherent to both of these forms of publishing are age brackets:

  • Picture Book
  • Early Reader
  • Chapter Book
  • Middle Grade
  • Older readers
  • Young Adult.

Phew.

Here are the trade titles I’ve had published:
