About Me
- Glenda Larke
- Malaysia
- My life has been described by one of my editors as “impossibly exotic” – although really it is not my life, but me, that’s the exotic. I’m the uprooted plant, the exotic who doesn’t belong, always living in someone else’s backyard...
An Australian living in Malaysia. Writer, traveler, environmentalist. Author of The Isles of Glory trilogy (The Aware, Gilfeather, The Tainted); The Mirage Makers trilogy (Heart of the Mirage, The Shadow of Tyr, Song of the Shiver Barrens) and, writing as Glenda Noramly, a stand-alone book Havenstar.
The latest trilogy is called The Watergivers in Australia and the Stormlord trilogy elsewhere. Book One, THE LAST STORMLORD, is already out; Book Two, STORMLORD RISING, is out in US and Australia and will come out in UK at the beginning of November 2010; Book Three, STORMLORD'S EXILE, will be out in all three countries in August 2011, or earlier.

In search of oneself
This was the Four-lined Tree-Frog in my kitchen this morning. I tried to catch him and put him out, and he managed to disappear, only to reappear (see second photo)...
Yes, that's him on the book case, reading the titles of the books. He's darkened himself to match the cover of my husband's honours thesis on pregnancy urine. For those of you who remember that they used to use frogs to determine if a woman was pregnant, that might seem so wrong on so many levels, but I assure you, he's obviously looking for the book on the far right, titled "Frogs and Toads of the World."

LOL, very droll, Glenda!
Classic :). Makes up for having sliced the finger I sanded yesterday.
Clever frogs you have in Malaysia.
It might be trying to do some ancestry research from private collections because it was turned down for a library card. (haha)
Clever little froggie. The baby one I found by my pool wasn't as bright. 38 degrees C and it was sunning itself. Sense must have prevailed because when I went back a few minutes later it had disappeared - and there was no sign of a tiny corpse.
Do you know that Malaysia has the largest four seasons plants, Grenda?
(The rubber plant tree). I had been there once during the changing color of its leaves. It touched my heart. Go and watch by yourself. It takes time to see it. Take a photo there. -SAM-
Not sure what you mean, Sam?
