Selma In The City

Storyteller, Nature Lover, Rabble-Rouser. Holding on to hard won hopefulness.A new year, a new ABOUT page. Hi, I’m Selma. I live in Sydney, Australia. I can see the Harbour Bridge from the park at the end of my street as well as the lesser known but just as spectacular, Anzac Bridge. I am a mother, wife, writer, sometime editor, sometime general dogsbody, sometime teacher. I like music, films and art. I was born in Glasgow, Scotland and still have a slight accent despite years of saying No worries, mate and Fair Suck of The Sav. Even though it is rarely used in Australian conversation these days I have been known to call people drongos. I have written lots of books and would like to get one published before I die or before the sherry I drink for medicinal purposes destroys my ability to distinguish the present participle from the dangling. I am fortysomething. At my age the something is the all important part. I have a fear of mothballs and ventriloquist dummies. The most terrifying thing in the world for me wouldn’t be the Antichrist manifesting before me but opening a box to find a ventriloquist dummy packed in mothballs. I love poetry and poets but I can’t write…

Though thoughtful, bold, and always curious, Emma's blog is a space for those who love exploring and questioning.
