AWARDS: I've won the Spirit of Zelda Award, from the Zelda Awards, which celebrates women in comics! It's in the category of +10 years in the biz, so thank you to everyone who voted for me! Congradulations to all the winners too! Watch the ceremony on Youtube. Meanwhile, "The Dreaming" v1-2 has also been listed on the NSW Premier Reading Challenge list! These lists are screened and once you get on, you don't go off, so hopefully I use get onto the reading lists of other states too.

NEXT MANGA: Editor got back to me on chapter 2 (of 12) of "Sunset Protocol", the supernatural mystery-thriller and quasi-sequel to "The Dreaming". Chapter 1 is done, and I'm halfway through chapter 2 (aim for mid-May completion). I'm sloooowly posting 2 pages a week on Instagram and my other social media.

SISTER HOLMES: I'm having nightmare issues trying to print "The Mystery Cases of Sister Holmes" (published by Viz) as a zine via IngramSpark. I don't know what's wrong, I keep getting random pages that are lighter than the others, so I've filed a complaint. I might have to use a different desktop publishing software entirely, which means I have to redo the layouts for the whole book *cries*. Delays all round! I worked with former Shonen Jump head editor-in-chief Hisashi Sasaki to produce this, and you can read it below or on BookWalker, and the yonkoma version here.

COMPETITIONS: I just submitted to 2 manga-related competitions, and now a new one has popped up. I have to pace myself...

INTERVIEW: Australian Comics History website FOLIO has an 8-part interview with me, talking about the history of the Manga fandom in Australia.

THE DREAMING: Buy "The Dreaming" v1-3 in print/ebook, via Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Global Comix. Covers and revisions are here.
Awards: 2024 ALIA Graphic Notables List - YA Category, NSW Premier Reading Challenge list (vol1-2)

I’ve been nominated for the Zelda Awards! This is a prestigious award for achievement of women in comics, and I’m in the “Spirit of Zelda” category for +10 years in the biz! I realise that few cartoonists make it to the 10-year mark…

You can vote for me here on the Awards website, no registration required.

This year, an academic website named Comic FOLIO tracked the history of Australian comics from the late 90s to the late 2010s. It included an 8-part interview with me, which you can access in full here.
