I’m a writer living in sunny Australia and this is my online home.
I publish my essays here when I have something substantial to explore—books that have stayed with me, reflections on reading and life, the occasional deep dive into a story I can’t stop thinking about.
Here are some of my favourite essays:

But between these longer pieces, I send out Book Chat—my fortnightly newsletter where I share what I’m currently reading, simple recipes, and glimpses into the everyday life of a reader. It’s more frequent, more intimate, and where our community of readers and eaters actually gathers.
Subscribers reply to tell me what they’re reading, share their own discoveries, and connect over our shared love of books and good food. It’s the readerly community I always wanted.
I’d love you to join us!

Hello Stephanie – I’m delighted to have you onboard. Thanks for your interest.
Hi Tony and thank you for your kind comments.
I was trying not to blab on too much about myself, but you are right in saying that people do like to know a bit about the person behind the name. I will update the ‘about’ page and include a bit of info about my background in film and television and photography. It could be long story though…
Cheers and thanks for your interest!
Marg
Love your blog. You should put more info about your wealth of experience in photography and film so the punters know of your credibility. You could also put your experience as a greyhound catcher but I think that is assumed.
Keep it up as I know it will grow.
