I'm back writing. Watch your letterboxes!

I've been told I write like I talk. I'm not sure if this is a disclaimer, apology or excuse..

I write what I know, or struggle to understand. Most of it personal and rarely edited.

I write, for myself. The cost of the zines is to fuel my fund for more making and stamps! If you're a local stamp away, I would rather trade than sell. Just ask :)

I enjoy making zines as much as reading them! If you enjoy some of what I do, that's good too!

Zines by me currently in stock:

* ISSUE #12 "How do you take it?" Perzine, on music, love & over thinking

* Desire is a blue & white checked tablecloth. Limited edition run, bnw text print w/fabric cover, an almost a story of someone I used to know.

* Petless. A short bnw, cut and paste, hand typed explanation as to why we are petless, includes breif notes on previously known furry things.

and quickly about me; I'm a mum of 2 and live in australia with my best friend/husband i a house that i adore despite it's many shortcomings; it may very well one day kill us all.

I love most; dislike few and can accept different opinions and views so long as they're backed with gusto! or reason. In short, I'd love to see what drives you, and trade with you! I'm interested if you are! so drop me a line :) I hope you give me much feedback as possible once you've had a read, I will endeavor to do the same :)
