The Next Adventure

I am very excited to have found the right home for this story. Formerly titled ‘The Search’ this screenplay, turned story, turned novella, has won a few awards and evolved into the rich and exciting start of an epic journey for its unique heroine. ‘Path to Pandora’ is a twisty adventure with a supernatural spin 🌀 Fans of the Uncharted and Tomb Raider series take note. Thanks to SkyNation Publishing I will soon be able to share this adventure with you all!

You can add Path to Pandora on your Goodreads TBR shelf now! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/251503156-path-to-pandora

Celebrating a Creative Conjunction

A few months ago, I had the privilege of directing my very first music video for awesome Sydney based band Salonistas. The story of how the song ‘Take Me Home’ came into being and the video clamoured its way out of creative grey matter and into the tangible world, is very closely related to another project in the making, one of my weirder ones to date (and that’s saying something!)

People call these things a ‘Labor of Love’. I’d say they’re more like the ‘Persistence of Delirium’. Fortunately, there are many other wonderful creatives who suffer from the same condition, and every once in a while we manage to get together to shape delirium into reality. I can’t wait to do it again!

Celebrate what we’ve created with us at the official launch celebration for ‘Take Me Home’ on May 15th and share a toast with all the crazy creatives behind this conjunction of music and mayhem!

Write Your World (and a few ways to break the rules)

I’m excited to be leading a discussion about my very favourite topic World Building with Words. I presented V1 of this discussion two years ago to a packed out Don Bank Museum. This version of the forum will dig deeper, explore further, and discuss even more ways to immerse readers into your unique universe. Keep reading for more details and link to reserve your seat (for free!)

Writer and filmmaker Margaret M. MacDonald invites writers of all genres to discuss inspirations, ideas, methods, and more for penning unique worlds, whether realistic or fantastic. From the words you choose to their placement on the page, every decision is another tool for immersing readers into your story.

Participants will be invited to workshop, discuss, and compare multiple genres of writing, from novels and screenplays, to the magnum opus versus the meme. Bring a pen and a desire to dive into another world.

Thursday, April 16th 6pm
Stanton Library - 2nd floor event space - 234 Miller Street, North Sydney
