Lovely to hear from you, Sam.

Yes, I handed in book 4 to the publishers two weeks ago and am waiting on the edits. I’m not going to say what is in store for Fyn and Byren but it will be a rocky road. I do love to test my characters!

Cheers, Rowena

Yeah! Just put down book 3, bring on book 4! Cant wait to see Byren and Co take back Rolencia. Please tell me Fyn and Isolt get together, that dude deserves it. Suppose I’ll have to start doing some work at, well, work..Or just start on the Outcast Chronicles. Thanks for writing my new favorite series!

I’m looking forward to catching up with you, Rowena. It’s thrilling to have an excellent line-up of speakers at this year’s WriteFest (as always) and attendees are keen to learn some valuable skills from you! People who like making last-minute plans are still able to attend WriteFest at short notice. It’s only a day trip from Rocky and Gympie – and that’s how some of our attendees did it last year and now one of them has a publishing contract!

Comment on Do creative people have more vivid dreams? by admin

Dreams are really bizarre, Kelly. I think if you’re creative, you dream more and more vividly. I’m not at all surprised that you can control your dreams and your music comes through.

This article is great to see! I did a search about vivid dreams because I have had them since I can remember dreaming. I still remember very vivid dreams from when I was a child. There was one in preschool where my friends and I were dressed up as the Flintstones and were trapped in a maze. I mentioned this dream to my friends and my mom on the way home from school and still remember that conversation. I also dreamed about a doughnut shop where everyone inside had a human head but a large, skeletal body and I could see all the food they ate go through their bodies. So scary for anyone, let alone a little kid! I also have had several times where I’ve been in a scary dream and wanted to wake up, but as I’ve tried to wake, it was as if I was trapped in the dream; my body would feel frozen although I was in my room and bits of the dream seemed to materialize around me in real life. For example, when I was nine, I dreamed I was a mummy and as I was trying to wake, I was frozen and my bed around me looked like a stone coffin, though my room looked normal! These kinds of dreams still happen, but only every six months or so.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found I can control my dreams. I’m a composer and sometimes I dream about the musical I’m writing. The performers will be performing a song and I’ll think (as I’m in the midst of the dream) ‘yes! That’s the song I’ve been trying to write! It’s perfect! Don’t forget this song when you wake up!’ Unfortunately, I often forget it when I wake up and am mad that I can’t remember the song though I remember telling myself not to forget it! So frustrating!
Anyway, I have vivid dreams EVERY SINGLE NIGHT that I can control to a certain degree and remember when I wake up the next morning. They don’t always seem very helpful, but occasionally I’ll have something happen that day that feels like it was foreshadowed in my dream the night before; not sure if this is the case or if my subconscious ‘remembers’ a dream that didn’t really happen…it’s true, the human brain is an amazing thing!

Hi Jessica,

Sorry to hear you aren’t getting any study done. ;->

Yes, I get my adult children to pose for the covers. My son brings over all his weapons, we dress them up, light them and take photos. Then I send these over to Clint Langley the artist, who is based in the UK. And be works from the photos to produce the covers.

Glad you are enjoying the books.

Cheers, Rowena

I met you at supanova at the Gold Coast and I bought your books. It was probably the worst time to buy them because I haven’t picked up a text book since I bought them! They are captivating and amazing! I love your books so much!

I didn’t realise it was a real person on the cover! Does that mean all the others are real too?
