WOW! Our first day of freedom was even better than I could have imagined. I’m feeling a bit sick this morning but that is so worth it for the amount of fun that I had yesterday. As I said in my last blog post, I had to start my day by going to the local …
Maphira drove her boat toward the docks, provided that was actually what you called it when someone took control of a water vehicle. The terminology confounded her. She wasn’t sure whether to call it driving, steering or even piloting, but she had settled on driving within her mind. As the city of Melbourne grew larger …
The entrance, open. The operation, underway. Everything was going smoothly, except for the fact that her annoying sister had decided to tag along. She hadn’t seen Rylee in years, and she just decided to show up now of all times? Sure, she’d helped them get through the door, but they would have found another way …
Down into the sewers they went, Maphira and Vai side by side. Maphira held her torch aloft, illuminating the dank depths of Melbourne as her team descended the ladder.

I’ve been thinking about moving for a while now. I like where I live at the moment, but it’s just so far from my work. I have two jobs in the Bayside area of Melbourne, but I live in the northern suburbs, so it’s quite a trip to get there. One of my jobs is …
Guess what! I won a prize. How, you ask? You know when you’re walking through shopping centres and in the middle of the walkway they’ve got those pop-up stores? They’re usually trying to sell things and most people ignore them. But last week, I was feeling generous, so I stopped and let the friendly staff …
“Tell me what happened again. Just to make sure we have all the details right.” The woman was clearly exhausted from an entire afternoon of questioning, but even if this was a diversion from the Conclave of Mechanists, they couldn’t miss a single detail. Maphira placed a hand on the receptionist’s arm, hoping to offer …
Meg was recently promoted to the head planner position at her building company. After working in a hands-on construction role for more than a decade, she was excited about the change. It also meant she was the main point of contact whenever the company was offered a new project. Today, that project was a major …
