“So much history has been woven into my story. I hope you enjoy teasing apart what’s true and what’s imagined.”
That adventure awaits readers of Mandy Louise’s novel My Heart My Blood, which blends meticulously researched history with vivid imagination. Set in Tudor England, the story introduces the handsome hero William, before shifting to the heroine Elizabeth, who serves in the retinue of the newly widowed Queen Margaret of Scotland. The sister of Henry VIII, Margaret “survived the era” while “living on the edges of conflict and expectation”.
Mandy recently signed copies of My Heart My Blood and the newly released My Blood My Breath at Berkelouw Books. The second novel follows Lord William and the feisty Lady Elizabeth as they encounter historical events and colourful Tudor characters. A beautiful display featuring artwork, bookmarks, medieval-style leather, book bags, goody bags and journals drew the admiration of book lovers and passers-by.

Hearing the call of a Glossy Black-Cockatoo from the Wallum woodland near his home, turned Noosa Heads teenager Spencer Hitchen into an international conservation voice.
Spencer founded Save Sunrise Glossies in 2019 at age 8. By age 10 his petition to save the local Wallum Woodland had gathered nearly 86,000 signatures. His advocacy has since reached Federal Parliament in Canberra, and in November 2025 he became the youngest person to address a major Australian corporation's Annual General Meeting on environmental accountability.
At 15, Spencer has been honoured as a 2026 International Young Eco-Hero Award winner by Action for Nature, receiving the organisation's Shimon Schwarzschild Special Award for building a global movement to protect the vulnerable Glossy Black-Cockatoo.
The Wallum campaign is only part of his resume. Spencer also creates an annual nature photography calendar and earned the 2025 Crikey Photography Competition People's Choice Award. He founded Our Big Backyard – a global iNaturalist project that collects citizen-science observations of local wildlife – and established World Stand Up 4 Nature Day which is held every 9 September to spotlight grassroots conservationists.
Spencer is one of 16 young environmentalists worldwide honoured this year. However, his is a local story – a Sunshine Coast kid whose backyard campaign for one bird reached the halls of parliament.
