If you’ve ever pondered what it looks like to find real gold in your pan, the center of this picture you will find a few flakes. When the shiny unmistakable sight of gold peeks from under the rocks and dirt, that’s when the gold fever kicks in. These were panned from a river, where the gold waited millions of years for me to eventually come along and find it in nature. A bit like fishing, Prospecting has become a beloved hobby for me and the chance to make some money makes it even better.

It’s been really cold here in Sydney this year. I’ve been lucky to have my friend Coco here to keep my company. With the production phase of the Gorp the Goblin series winding down, I’m start on 2 more projects for the remainder of the year, so still lots of writing to be done.

This brings to a close my Winterfest 2019 Week. For #fantasyfriday I decided to share with you the Gingerbread Dragon I got from a bakery stall called Mud and Sugar. It was my first Gingerbread Dragon so I had to share. At the end of the event I was left with on 8 books in my entire inventory. It was a great event and I gained a lot of new readers. After I had broken down the stall and the sun was setting in the twilight hours, I reflected on the events of the weekend and decided I would definitely return for next year’s Winterfest 2020.

Travel takes many forms and when it comes to Medieval travel I prefer by horseback. These are the riders and knights at Winterfest 2019. Also, a big thank you to the American Pit BBQ foodstall who providing me some Texas BBQ and Smoked Turkey Leg.

I must say that this 2 day event at Winterfest was my best as far as book sales go. At the end of the event I was left with only 8 books total! I was happy with how my stall turned out with the new signs and with the addition of my 3rd Gorp book at St. Ives Medieval Faire in Sept, I hope to do even better.

Sitting upon a hill, overlooking the city of Duned

Sitting upon a hill, overlooking the city of Dunedin, is New Zealand’s only castle called “Larnach Castle”. William Larnach who was merchant baron and politician New South Wales, Australia, had the castle built in 1871 for his wife Eliza. Surrounding it also an example of an lavish 19th century European Garden. Getting to tour the grounds and inside the castle was a great experience, although I was overcast the day I went.

One thing I’ve learned about running a book stall, is that you have to have signage and visuals to draw people in. It made a difference having this pull up banner with minor details and visuals from all 3 Gorp the Goblin full book covers on it.

A behind the scenes photo from my first horror film “Door of Fear” (2017). With wonderful principle talents Scarlett O’Neil and Dawn Nixon. Written and directed by me. One of my greatest passions beyond that of a Fantasy Author is Writing-Directing Films.

Inspiration is all around us. Sometimes you just need a different filter to see the white washed skies of a Neo-Melbourne cityscape of a cyberpunk future. Photo taken by me on one of my first trips to Melbourne CBD, Australia. I’m starting to gear up to write a new Sci-Fi series at the end of this year and just trying to get into that vibe.

Winterfest was at SupaNova getting the word out about the Medieval Fair held July 6th & 7th in the Hawkesbury Showground. I’ll have a stall tent at this year’s Winterfest for the first time. If you’re in the area, stop by the purple top tent and say “Hi”. I’m hoping to have the entire Gorp the Goblin trilogy on offer there.
