Current projects

Danielle is working on Housewife Superstar, a non-fiction work about Tasmanian domestic goddess and author Marjorie Bligh. She is co-authoring a children’s novel, Finding Serendipity, with fellow award-winning Tasmanian author, Heather Rose. She is also working on her next major work of adult fiction, as yet untitled, excerpts of which have been published in various Australian anthologies and journals.

Tasmanian Stories
Danielle is selecting and editing a collection of Tasmanian stories with Ralph Crane; she will also write an introduction to the book. In addition to the book’s scholarly purpose of providing an important archive of regional Australian literature, this anthology is intended to have appeal to visitors to the state as well as to students and researchers.
