Men walking past a shop - the first into the funny shadow the other past it. Not sure which I prefer - do you have a preference?

Trucks driving past a construction site, dust flaring up the scene, a teenager driving through the scene. The perfect moment in Paris.

I’m not always sure how a woodcut print is going to come out or if I’m even going to like it. But I love these apple endpapers!

#Poem #NewAuthor #PublishedAuthor

In the tapestry of these images, a story unfolds -

A tale of love and loss, of shadows and light.

Through words that echo in the chambers of the soul,

The poet weaves a legacy, a beacon in the night.

Each page a mirror, each verse a healing balm,

Reflecting the scars that map a journey’s road.

In lines of grief and grace, a portrait emerges,

Of resilience forged in the crucible of mortal code.

1/n

A poetry anthology titled "Words That Last Forever", with a vibrant abstract cover portraying two intertwined human silhouettes in swirls of blue, red, and purple watercolors against a textured white background. The artwork captures a sense of emotional depth and connection. The book lies open on a table, its pages marked by the indentations of curious canine teeth - a poignant reminder of the beloved companion who left an indelible imprint on both the physical pages and the heart of the poet.

An excerpt from the poem "Green Eyes In Shadow's Silhouette" by David Wakeham, dedicated to his cherished rescue cat, Mr. Kitty. The words paint a haunting portrait of the final hours, as the feline friend navigates the shadows of illness with unwavering grace. The poem speaks of the profound bond between humans and animals, the weight of impending loss, and the solace in shared existence. It is a tender elegy, a love letter etched in the syllables of farewell.

The poet's (ok, my) biography, a tapestry woven from the threads of resilience and compassion. It speaks of a life dedicated to the voiceless - the disabled, the marginalised, the creatures who share our world. Through the lens of science and the language of the heart, the poet seeks to illuminate the darkness, to whisper hope in the storm of sorrow. The words serve as a gentle reminder that even in the twilight of grief, love carves an eternal path.

A bottle of Black Rose Shiraz from the Grapes of Ross vineyard, a hidden treasure unearthed from the depths of a Brisbane pantry. The rich, dark liquid within holds the promise of solace, a momentary respite from the heat of loss. It stands as a symbol of resilience, a testament to the enduring spirit that weathers the tempests of time. Though the years may have tested its resolve, the essence of the wine, like the essence of the poet, remains unbroken - a vintage of the heart, aged in the oak of experience.

Have you ever self published a book? And of so how did you do it?

Please welcome Lellie Lopter to the #CYASuccess family.

“From the date of my assessment to the date of publication it took just 72 days. During this time, I had undergone major surgery and was confined to bed for 8 weeks. From my bed I recruited illustrators from all over the world, connected with Red Nose Australia to set up the ongoing charitable donations of 100% of the profits, completed the layout and design of the book, set it up for international sales and created an accompanying video that is available immediately and for free whenever a family needs it. The book and video of ‘My Brother Born Sleeping’ has now helped over 500 families tackle the difficult conversation of pregnancy and infant loss with siblings. Without the connections I made from the Kid Lit community at the CYA conference, and without the kindness of the assessors who rejected my manuscript, I would never have had the confidence to undertake this project and this book wouldn’t exist.”

Please welcome Mo Davey to the #CYASuccess family.

“CYA has been a huge part of my writing and illustrating career! I had my first hint of success and a feeling that my writing was heading in the right direction when I came 3rd place for my middle grade, 1st place for a chapter book and 1st place for a picture book manuscript a few years ago. I can't believe it has been almost ten years since I first started attending CYA Conferences and I have finally made it as a published author/illustrator for a picture book called 'I am Tree Rex!' Feedback from an assessment during a CYA conference was instrumental in getting this manuscript to the place where it is today and I am forever thankful!”
