Elle magazine

I have a small to medium sized piece in Elle Magazine (Australia) this month. (I have to be specific because I think I might have given peeps on Twitter a misleading impression and they're all now thinking 5-page spread.) It's about a real-life incident that is back story to Summer Skin. Nothing controversial, more poignant, and it involved my first toga party. I sent them the picture on the left of me getting ready for the aforementioned toga party but they didn't use it – even though I carefully explained that EVERYBODY smiled like that in the nineties. Thus I get to use it here :) #summerskin #LoveOzYA @allenandunwin #elleaustralia

Inversion

Sun burning away the last of pea soup mist that rolled through the break this morning (called Inversion, apparently – see @surfphotosofyou – yesterday's post – for more photos and proper explanations). So thick it cut off our view of the beach, and the swell, so that waves loomed out of nowhere, but you couldn't really judge them because was all a bit disorientating. Weird, but cool … #surfing #northernbeaches #seamist

Not cool or humble

Where I live, peeps be all cool and humble when they make the daily surf report by @surfphotosofyou … but not me! It is THE thrill of my existence. If you don't already subscribe, sign up – https://www.surfphotosofyou.com.au – you get pictures of northern beaches heaven delivered to your inbox daily. Also, don't worry, the standard of surfing featured is much higher than my frothing. Mr SPOY just chucked me in there because he has a generous heart and a sense of humour :) #northernbeaches #surfing #dailysurfreport #surfphotography #surfer #secretspots #surfphotos #oceans #oceanphotography #womenwhosurf

Walk of shame

This reader is so bad ass! She only spent one night with Summer Skin and this is the book doing the walk of shame the next morning! I like knowing my books are seeing the wilder side of life :) She also paired it with cider – which I totally loved. I think we need more book and drink pairings! regram @jimmy_reads_books #summerskin #loveOzYA #aussieya #newadultbooks #newadult #youngadult #bookstagram #igreads #igreaders @allenandunwin

Come and join Surfrider – they’re a friendly bunch

For the last 20 minutes I have listened to this man, Brendan Donohue, speak with passion and purpose about the work that the Surfrider Foundation do, and how they need numbers. Only problem is I'm already a member and my feet are burning. So please join and make Brendan happy. It's only 50 cents a week. https://www.surfrider.org.au/ @surfrideraus #oceanlove #oceanlover #stopplastics #northernbeaches #surfriderfoundation #surfrider #surfer #surfing #cleanwaves #cleanbeaches #sea

Manly Daily

Because @themanlydaily don't have a Kook of the Day section they kindly decided to talk about Summer Skin instead. Can't lie, this was a massive thrill because the northern beaches have given me so much and we all secretly love making the Daily. Article also gives huge props to my agent @cathdrayton who is the BOMB! And to answer your next question – that wicked looking stick is by @itchyshapes #summerskin @allenandunwin #LoveOzYA #northernbeaches #themanlydaily #manlydaily #yafiction #nafiction #aussieauthor #aussieya #young adult #newadult #shaper #boardporn

Northern Beaches launch of Beachside Bookshop and Summer Skin

Thanks to all the amazing peeps who came to Avalon last night, and thanks to Libby for asking me to share her launch. Long live @beachside_bookshop and here's to backing your dream. Felt really humbled to see so many loved faces in the crowd, when all of those people have already given me so much. Also, if you're up that way, pop into @thesneakygrind – James and Lauren are such great hosts. And finally – thought it was so great that @themanlydaily was there taking photos of the crowd, because secretly we all get a thrill when we are in the Manly Daily. #summerskin #avalon #beachsidebookshop #northernbeaches #sydneybookshops #themanlydaily #manlydaily #loveOzYA @allenandunwin
