Emotional Support Animal in the Sunday Star-Times

I woke up early this morning and ran down to the dairy to pick up my copy (okay, copies) of the Sunday Star-Times with my short story in it!

It was a wonderful surprise to see that the story has been illustrated with a custom artwork by designer Neil Bond. I'm hoping to print and frame a copy!

Fun with gifs
Fun with gifs
I was thrilled to receive 'highest honours' for my story Flotsam and Jetsam from the NZ Writers College short story competition this week.

To celebrate, I made my first gif!

I have since been having a little bit too much fun with gifs...

If you'd like to have fun with gifs too, you can create them with gifmaker and share them with giphy. I sourced copyright cleared images from Flickr.

    Author

    My short fiction has been published in Headland, Hue and Cry, Pot Roast and Aerodrome. I'm an award-winning playwright and zine creator, and my play Indiscretions was published by Playmarket. I have contributed articles and creative non-fiction to The Spinoff, The Sunday Star Times, The NZ Herald and more. I also manage the social media for my cat Bruce, and I wrote and illustrated a children's book, Bruce Finds A Home, based on his exploits.

    I am also hoping to put the power of the pen to good use by advocating for better miscarriage information and support. Click here for details.
