At Gold Coast Writers last Saturday 15th February, I was asked to invite new members to join The Ten Penners. This lady was first in line. I'm delighted to share her blog and see that she hails from the southern states as I do. Even my home town Ballarat in Victoria. She now resides on the Gold Coast and I know she'll be a wonderful addition to our group.

Christmas in Ballarat portraits are here and they're just as adorable as I imagined! 18th November, 2024 All you need to do is upload your photos and I'll illustrate the rest. With three backgrounds to choose from and multiple print options, you can gift these to the whole family. Of course, I made options to include your pets.

Liv Lorkin has a wonderful website and she offers books. I've ordered this one and look forward to reading it.
Sage and the Journey of Grief

$16.00 GST
Until her mum passed away, grief was as foreign to Sage as the countries she travelled to. With her faithful dog Snowy by her side, Sage explores and experiences the stages of grief.
Joined by her dad, Sage navigates the winding road of loss with her butterfly-covered journal. As her dad would say, “There’s no right way to grieve”. He’s there to help her navigate it in her own space and time.
Sage quickly learns she’s not alone in losing someone she loves. Between school, soccer and grief, life is a balancing act. She’s unsure how to tackle everything at once, but the journey is unfolding one page at a time.
Author and illustrator Liv Lorkin is about to launch her life in the madcap antics of The Ten Penners. We look forward to meeting her at our next meeting and gaining from her expertise in IT, writing, illustrating and so much more. - Jill
