Just bought Stock Image AI through App Sumo and am experimenting to create character art for the Sassy Saints Series. Have been putting in prompts to create Jesse James, my bookish misunderstood teenage boy and this is what I came up with. I'm so excited to create character art for all my characters. What do you think?

goldcoast fun

A week at the Goldcoast with my favourite person, my daughter, who doesn't want her photo shared. It is everything I dreamed about and we're only two days in. We are a few hundred metres from the beach, the hotel has an indoor pool and a lagoon pool with a water slide, and boy were the guests entertained when a certain middle-aged woman went whooshing down, screaming all the way. We're beginning our theme park launch tomorrow. So happy!

16/3/2023

0 Comments

 
Azra is admitted as a mental patient after postnatal psychosis, but are the voices in her head imaginary, or did she witness something?

​Award-winning author Amra Pajalić showcases her gritty, poignant and sometimes bruising voice in this eclectic short story book of previously published and prize-winning stories. Featuring powerful and moving stories of family dissolution, deprivation of war, tenderness of family and the heart-rending experiences of mental illness. Thriller stories with a twist of vindictiveness and retribution, and love stories that make the heart sing, this collection will delight and entertain.

The Cuckoo’s Song, YA short story collection, by Amra Pajalic is now available in ebook, paperback, hardcover, dyslexic font, large print, and audiobook narrated by AI.

shout out to the kindness of strangers

9/3/2023

Came out this morning to find car wouldn't start. Called taxi to take my daughter to school. Driving home told taxi driver I'd now have to wait for RACV to jump start. He said that he'd jump start me instead. So when we got home he pushed my car down the driveway so we could jumpstart from his car. It didn't work. My battery was okay. It seems my fob was dead and as my car is keyless, it wouldn't start. So then the taxi driver helped me roll the car back up my driveway. I headed off to my local shopping centre. He saw me walking. Said he was on the way and dropped me off. Went to Mr Minute and was scrounging bills to pay after my fob's battery was changed, the guy told me not to worry and gave me a discount. Got home. Tried car and it works. So overall I had a lovely day because of the kindness of some lovely men. #IWD2023 #kindness #gratitude #goodday

One of my goals has been to record an online course and it's finally happening. I'm going to keep the details under wraps until it's all official. It's slightly uncomfortable recording and it has been a process getting into it, but it's getting better I'm excited about launching it into the world, so watch this space.
