Legit so gutted for Freo. ⚓️ Looked like they finally had their first flag with 4 mins to go. Had most of WA - and maybe the country - behind em, too. Great grand final, but devastating end to what coulda been an incredible footy story.

My latest two books are finally on sale in my hometown of Geraldton, Western Australia. Makes me happy, especially as KOD is set in Gero. This is in Rigters Supermarket, where I worked as a floor boy as a teenager. The books are also on sale locally at Soul Threadz. Grateful! 🙏

Two shortlisted Gero authors & our husbands! 🤠🤠 Really cool to finally meet Tasma Walton & Rove McManus last night at the Premier's Awards. Unfortunately KING OF DIRT did not win the prize, but a massive congrats to David Whish-Wilson who took out the award and is a top bloke.

Got stitches in me neck, but you should see the other bloke. 👊💥 Okay, the other bloke was a skin cancer - again - and has just been cut out of my neck thanks to a wise doctor. Consider this post the universe reminding you to go get your moles and skin checked.

Oui the boys! One of the producers of the YEAH THE BOYS TV series, Steve Pennells, is in Paris & not only did he find LES GARÇONS INVISIBLES on the shelf in both bookshops he visited, but he bought one & got an epic book selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower! How good's that! 🥳🇨🇵

I finished listening to King of Dirt by the incredibly talented (and fucking sexy @v8sheppard.bsky.social) a couple of days ago. Fuck me what a raw, dirty and beautiful book. I'll be keeping Jack Brolo in my mind and heart for a long time to come.

This is awesome: INVISIBLE BOYS is featured in a US news article about gay men sharing their favourite "own voices" gay books. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 The IB TV series has had news coverage the US, but never the book on its own, so this made me really happy. 😄😄

How epic is this! The term "bisexual boofhead" has been printed onto a massive billboard in the Perth CBD, describing Jack Brolo from KING OF DIRT. I couldn't resist heading to the city to get a selfie with it. Hulk feel seen. Bisexual boofheads represent! 😎🤙
