About Me

Author and sometimes foodie, Belinda is a ridiculous romantic who met her husband after being introduced by a friend two states away.

Residing in country Victoria, surrounded by books, cat-fur, and half-eaten cake, Belinda divides her days between writing rom-coms, baking, and indulging her love of comic books.

Belinda holds a Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing from Federation TAFE. She'll finish her degree one day.

Happiness and figs, they keep multiplying the more

Happiness and figs, they keep multiplying the more you share them 😋.

I’m diving into an afternoon of writing here. Whatever you’re doing, I hope you’re having a happy day 😘.

I didn’t realise until this morning that last we

I didn’t realise until this morning that last week was Holocaust Remembrance Week. It feels fitting then, that I read Eddie Jaku’s incredible “The Happiest Man On Earth” yesterday.

Eddie takes us on a journey from his life in Germany through to the harrows of concentration camps (more than once) and back again, to his new life in Australia. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll shake your head at just how awful humans can be. If you see this book around, grab yourself a copy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from me.

If woo-woo is not for you, look away now. If it is

If woo-woo is not for you, look away now. If it is, let’s crack on.

I’ve had two weeks off, I’ve swallowed books and swum in words. I’ve watched movies until my eyes were square and I fell asleep.

Now, it’s time to get moving. I’m using my few months “off” to change patterns, tame the brain gremlins, and get my process sorted. It won’t be easy, I know that, but I have to start somewhere.

This morning began with a card pull. Calling in support and jumping in to adventure. I’ve taken advice from writers around me, I’ve made a plan, I just have to ... do it?

Also, I’m posting this to hold myself accountable because, if I have to come back and give you a word count next week, maybe I’ll get moving.

How about you? Are you starting a new project today?

Happy *checks diary* ... Sunday!

Are you headed to a bookshop today? What book are you hoping to pick up?

No matter your monarchist or republican persuasion

No matter your monarchist or republican persuasion, the sad fact is a wife has lost her husband, and I think we can all relate to that.

P.S. Don’t mind my hinky looking coffee, it has MCT oil in it.

If you’ve hung around me long enough, you know I’m a total @mhairimcf fangirl. Ask me for a book rec, and I’ll push you onto her quicker than an alcoholic at happy hour.

I read her latest Last Night, well, last night - and it’s her best yet. I can only hope to be half the writer she is one day: real, tender and insightful - all while serving up a dose of the lols.

Go buy yourself a copy now.
