Karen Simpson Nikakis lives on the western edge of Melbourne on 30 acres of rabbits and rocks. She is fortunate to have a creek at the bottom of the ‘garden’, a pair of visiting wedge-tail eagles, and an uninterrupted view of the moon rising. She loves visiting central Australia, where the red sands and open spaces provide endless inspiration.

In September 2022 SmokeLong launched a workshop environment/community christened SmokeLong Fitness. This acclaimed community workshop is happening right now on our dedicated workshop site. If you choose to join us, you will work in a small group of around 15-20 participants to give and receive feedback on flash narratives.
