Q&A with Aussie kids’ writer Bethany Loveridge
I know I’ve said it before, but one of my favourite things about social media is making new friends with people all over the country and world that have similar interests. Today I’m excited to be chatting with one of my Instagram friends Bethany Loveridge, a fellow fan of middle grade books and aspiring author.

Bethany is currently working on a manuscript, which I happen…

Q&A with Aussie kids author Jeremy Lachlan
I’ve been reading more and more middlegrade/children’s fiction novels by Aussie authors over the past few years – as my daughter grows our reading tastes seem to be coming closer to each other and this year it’s the category I’m judging for the Aurealis Awards.

One of my favourite things about the online book community is the opportunity to connect with other readers and make new friends. One of the friends I’ve loved getting to know over the past year or so is fellow Australian book blogger Anne from Immersed in Books.
