Work samples
Just a few examples of my published work over the years. I also frequently write fundraising proposals, which for confidentiality reasons I can't publish here. But if you are interested in learning about that aspect of my work, contact me and I can put you in touch with satisfied clients.
You can also read my personal blogs, where I have written about life in Australia, at www.alifeontheflipside.com and downunderoutwest.wordpress.com.
