​So excited that Inkflower has been named a Notable Book for Older Readers in the CBCA Book of the Year Awards! 

From the Judges:
The dual timeline narrative is deftly handed by the author...to explore themes of survival, secrets, and the transformative power of truth and storytelling. The historical setting is brought to life with incredibly vivid descriptions - the horror and violence of the Holocaust is balanced with small acts of kindness ... This book would appeal to mature readers keen to learn about the Holocaust and take on a devastating, powerful story with the potential to make you cry.

Inkflower launch

Thanks to everyone who came to the launch of my new Young Adult novel, Inkflower. Melbourne Holocaust Museum’s Manager of Adult Education, Dr Simon Holloway, joined me on stage for a wonderful conversation about memory, history, love, hate and hope. It felt very special on this, the twentieth anniversary of my father's death, to reflect on his past as a survivor of Auschwitz, and the many lessons he taught me while living so bravely and graciously with Motor Neurone Disease.
