PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Cookie Jar is Megan Hills' second book if fiction. In 2022 she published her novel, Pavlova Rising. Put nicely, Megan has a peripatetic history. That is, she has had ants in her pants, moving from place to place in search of god knows what. Growing up in Adelaide, South Australia, she moved to Melbourne, then New York, then Sydney, then the seaside town of Portsea, then outside the inland town of Lismore. In some of these places she worked in the rough and tumble world of private art galleries. In Sydney she also worked at an art magazine publishing house as a production manager and graphic designer, which led to a marketing role at a craft and design association in Brisbane. When she moved to Darwin, Megan worked as a cultural enterprise manager for a First Nations organisation and swam occasionally in crocodile infested waters. Moving to the safer paddling spot of Newcastle, Megan now runs her own creative and cultural consultancy, The Creative Ingredient. She works with artists and First Nations knowledge holders any chance she gets.
