From now until the end of October 2023, I will donate all profits from the sale of my debut novel, Sandalwood, to Clothing the Gaps Foundation.
If you’re in Australia, you can purchase paperback copies of Sandalwood at Reader’s Companion*, Collins Booksellers*, or Wild Hearts Bookshop. You can also purchase directly from me using the CONTACT form on this website for $30.00 with free postage. Additionally, it’s available through Amazon, both paperback and ebook, and with a Kindle Unlimited subscription, but the highest profits come from one of the listed bookshops or directly from me. (*Please note, these websites show the old cover, but they have the new cover in stock.)
Internationally, you can find Sandalwood on Amazon, both paperback and ebook, and with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.
Thank you for your support.
From Clothing the Gaps Foundation’s website:
OUR WHY
The Clothing The Gaps Foundation is an independent Aboriginal-led not for profit run by Public Health practitioners. We exist to get Aboriginal people and Communities moving so that years are added to Aboriginal people’s lives.
Why do we do this? Currently the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous people in Australia is still too large.
We know physical activity is important because positive lifestyle habits play a key role in achieving and maintaining health and wellbeing. Healthy habits such as being active reduces the risk of heart disease, some cancers and type two diabetes. It strengthens muscles and bones, helps to maintain body weight and can reduce symptoms of depression. Getting moving also creates opportunity to connect with Community and Country.
Body, mind, spirit and Country...it’s all connected, Aboriginal people have known this for tens of thousands of years.
We believe in self-determination in health because Aboriginal Community knows Aboriginal Community issues, opportunities and challenges best.
How do we do this? We aim to increase Aboriginal physical activity participation in Clothing The Gaps fun runs by supporting Aboriginal Organisations and groups to use the event to run their own Community initiatives and get moving in their own way.
We understand the challenges of health promotion and see many individuals championing positive health in Community Organisations and groups across the country. It’s a tough gig on your own!
Our health promotion team have done the heavy lifting in creating an event toolkit as a resource that supports grassroots workers and local legends to run a great Community based movement event.
We create the opportunity, Community self-determine what this looks likes.
We call this Mob Run This.
