Welcome to Maddy’s Curious Universe!

Welcome readers, to my virtual playground!

It’s a place where I create, without the hoo-hah and pressure of creating the perfect insta photo or gaining likes and followers, but keeping things real in my way, imperfectly human, humble and simply fun.

Here you will find my Uplit stories about the ordinary heroes of the world, all set in Australian suburbia. My marvellous misfits find their inner magic in the most unexpected ways, with just a sprinkle of elf magic! All of my stories to date are available in Maddy’s Books my very own virtual bookshop!

Check out my blog  and take a glimpse into my world, find free Christmas stories as well as some favourite crafts & recipes with produce from my garden and cute crochet patterns. I love making something out of nothing, as my old Mum would say— it’s how we had fun!

Looking for a special gift? Head to the shop to order my unique whimsical crochet creations and fantabulous pieces in Art by Max too – Available now!

Spend some time with a good friend of mine, Kelvin, joining us in the MCU with his very own page where he’ll be posting —in his words— kind and simple thoughts. And some of his special appearances on Mim and Nige’s radio show at MBFM in the Mullet. Check it out!

As those who have subscribed know, social media is NOT my forte. I prefer sending email and my webpage. Frankly, by the time I learn how to drive the bus on the various social media platforms, I lose waaaaay too many hours of precious writing and creating time, (though I do turn up on Instagram linked to face-smace). I’d much rather take my bat & ball and play on my own site.

Heartfelt thanks to my Max for such wonderful illustrations and to the team at Beardbot for this fantastic playground for me to connect with you all.

So, dear reader, stop in and stay awhile … and I hope you enjoy the stories.

Cheers,
