✨An unbelievable true story and first book launch for 2026 ✨

In late 2025, Anita reached out for help with publishing her new memoir, A Feathering of Wisdom. We’d worked together years ago, and as we planned to meet, we discovered something extraordinary... I had recently moved next door to the very place where she wrote this book over 10 years ago.

From my back deck, I can see her porch where she wrote the stories, a breathtaking jacaranda tree, and the singing bird life that shaped this memoir. Of course, you don’t need to live next door to feel the depth of Anita’s wisdom. A memoir invites us into someone’s inner world, creating instant connection and reflection. Reading Anita's stories reminded me just how closely connected we all are.

A Feathering of Wisdom is a memoir for modern times, with subtle humour, inviting busy readers to dip into any page to savour gems of wisdom and moments of reflection.

Anita Clara Iussa recently launched her book at Woodcroft Library (part of Onkaparinga Libraries), surrounded by a warm and supportive community. A beautiful reminder of how powerful local libraries and writers are. I felt so thankful for everyone 'showing up' for each other on the day. 🥰 ✏️

A Feathering of Wisdom is available from online bookstores such as Amazon:

We're still flying high after the fun launch of How High is the Sky? by Michelle Visentin.

The Yankalilla Library was the perfect setting for a celebration of stories, community, and creativity. Guests were treated to a delicious edible book cake by Tasty Bakes (yes, it looked and tasted amazing!) and sweet gift bags from Lollies & More – yum!

This delightful first chapter book is perfect for children aged 5-8, or any young reader who enjoys nature-inspired adventure novels.

Now available on Amazon or order from your favourite bookstore or shop (including Lollies & More), in both hardcover and paperback. 📚💫
