3. I am so grateful to @nadabackovic for the design and to Fremantle Press for making the book of my dreams. I am in awe of the kind words from Brett D’Arcy and Kim Scott.

2. The artwork is based on a painting by a Noongar Elder & artist from Albany. As soon as I saw Aunty Glenda Williams’ work, I knew I’d found the cover of my book. The painting is called “Quandongs” & they grow on Salt River Road. I am so grateful to Aunty Glenda ♥️

Also, I forgot my glasses. Can I do a whole week of editing without them? Or should I do a 1.5 hour round trip to get them? 🧐

@writingcarousel @KSP_Writers @FremantlePress Nah miss you already!

Making the final edits on #SaltRiverRoad this week up at @KSP_Writers. Feeling surreal and special. It all began here, and so apparently, it ends too ❤️ @FremantlePress

The night is *slowly* starting to feel real. I got to thank my mum on stage. I’ll never forget that moment. She knows me and the book better than anyone. I couldn’t have written SRR or have made it through our own story, without her. @FremantlePress

So fun
