About Me

My photo
Perth, Western Australia, Australia
I am based in Perth, Western Australia. You might enjoy my books - The Dagger of Dresnia, the first book of the Talismans Trilogy, is available at all good online book shops as is Book two, The Cloak of Challiver. Book three, The Seer of Syland, is in preparation. I trained in piano and singing at the NSW Conservatorium of Music. I also trained in dance (Scully-Borovansky, WAAPA) and drama (NIDA). Since 1987 I have been writing reviews of performances in all genres for a variety of publications, including Music Maker, ArtsWest, Dance Australia, The Australian and others. Now semi-retired, I still write occasionally for the ArtsHub website.

My books

The first two books of my trilogy, The Talismans, (The Dagger of Dresnia, and book two, The Cloak of Challiver) are available in e-book format from Smashwords, Amazon and other online sellers. Book three of the trilogy, The Seer of Syland, is in preparation.I also have a short story, 'La Belle Dame', in print - see Mythic Resonance below - as well as well as a few poems in various places. The best way to contact me is via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/satimaflavell

Buy The Talismans

The first two books of The Talismans trilogy were published by Satalyte Publications, which, sadly, has gone out of business. However, The Dagger of Dresnia and The Cloak of Challiver are available as ebooks on the usual book-selling websites, and book three, The Seer of Syland, is in preparation. The easiest way to contact me is via Facebook.

No Place Like...

I am back in Perth for a week, having a wonderful time catching up with friends and family. I'm staying with different people almost every night and all are being incredibly hospitable. Thanks to you all - I won't embarrass you by naming you publicly, but you know who you are:-)

I'm at my son Bruce's place at the moment. We had a family dinner last night with several branches and twigs represented, which was great. Earlier in the day, I went to a meeting of the WA Shakespeare Club, one of the groups I've been missing terribly since I moved to Mount Gambier. During the coming days I'll be able to spend time with friends from the genealogy and SF communities, too, then on Friday night it's off to England via Dubai.

I'm reading all my friends' blogs but hardly doing any posting. Please forgive me for that - it's just because I'm using other people's computers and don't like to hog them for too long:-)

Hi, Satima! It is Friday, the 23d now, and you must be winging your way to England. Here's to a happy and safe journey, and we shall all await news of your arrival and first impressions.
Cheers,
Alison

Yup, I'm in England, staying a few days with my friend Diana in London (Sloane St, no less!) and trying to recover from a nasty dose of jet lag. The journey wasn't bad but long haul travel is never fun, is it? I saw three moderately entertaining movies en route. One was "The Queen" which is worth seeing for Helen Mirren's wonderful acting, although I really don't think it's appropriate to make movies about living people.

I'm looking forward to seeing you next month, Alison. Have a safe and pleasant trip over the pond!
