If you're looking for something writing related over the next couple of days, Elizabeth is doing two free talks at the Bodhi Tree in Mt Hawthorn.
The first one is tomorrow (Friday) at 2pm on writing in general. Elizabeth will have my writing coach hat on so come along with your writing questions.
On Saturday at 11am she'll be talking about autobiographical writing in relation to being a carer for those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
If either of these appeal you can click on the link below to find out more, or just turn up.
Hope to see you there.

What a great trip Pamela and I had to Sydney. Everything went so well and people were so kind.
One of the many things that came out of the trip (other than shopping) was an interview with Tony Delroy for his Night Life show on ABC, which is due to be aired tomorrow (Thursday) at 9.15 pm WA time. If all things go according to plan it should be possible to listen to it online through the link below. Just in case you aren't near a radio at that time of day ...

Well, the exciting news is that Pamela Eaves and I are off to Sydney tomorrow for a flying visit to launch and promote Caring Moments.
Alzheimer's Australia have kindly offered to launch our book at their Open Day on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday we are being interviewed on Canberra ABC radio by Genevieve Jacobs at 2pm and then by Tony Delroy for his Night Life show for Sydney ABC. Other than that, who knows what else might happened between our other meetings (probably way too much shopping and stops at the Lindt Chocolate Cafe).
So, if you feel like finding out more about the book or buying your copy please tune in to your local radio stations or pop down to the Alzheimer's Australia building for the Open Day.
Monday 8th March
Caring Moments is now officially available from book stores across Australia.
