A few weeks back, local bookseller and writer Brenton Cullen invited me to take part in a Q&A on his blog, chatting about the process of researching and writing my children’s historical fiction novel, 11 Ruby Road. Would love you to take a read! ☺️📚 brentoncullenwriter.weebly.com/journal/qa-wit…

Thank you @onemorepageAU for your kind review ☺️📚

11 RUBY ROAD by @CharlotteBarkla is an exploration of life in 1900 - a time when a white girl was expected to get married & make house, not befriend a Chinese boy & aspire to be an actress. A great conversation starter about racism & the Sufragette movement. Review on our website

Was feeling slightly lousy I didn’t quite make my ambitious pre-school holidays word count goal (even though it was great motivation…) So (>>SWIPE<<) I stuck this little gem over the top, and felt much better 🥰 Writers, do you like having word count goals?

Are you off to the beach this weekend? Don't forget your flower-topped hat! I loved poring over old photos when researching 11 Ruby Road. This is one of my favourites from the @slqld collection, taken in Redcliffe around 1900-1910. Imagine trekking through sand in these skirts!
