If yes, where have you been published?

My published writing thus far is in academia. I was/am a teacher educator, mainly in Arts Education. My chapter in Education in the Arts is titled: Shower Singing and Other Essentials. Another book is This Teaching Life of MIne, based on my Masters Research, looking at the way living one's own prioritise values can prevent disillusion and burnout. My other LARGE work is my PhD, where my emphasis is on Core Values (as distinct from morals, ethics, etc) and how they can be harnessed to support our new graduates to become the teachers they dream of becoming

What are you currently working on?

Two books – one is fiction, ostensibly 'for children' but I think we know 'children's books' are just books with a particular and beautiful slant on the world.
