So excited to be sent this by Sean Wright who is a great advocate of Aussie writers. The brochure is in South Australian libraries helping promote the National Year of Reading 2012.

Sean supports Aussie writers in a very real way – buy buying their work and talking to others about them.

One of his favourites and mine is Twelfth Planet Press (publisher of my Glitter Rose collection) who have recently made the step into publishing novels. You can read all about it here. TPP will be one of our major independents in years to come. If you have a masterpiece you’ve been working on then I recommend you send it to them.

 

Hi Guys! Am in the middle of the Brisbane Writers Festival which has been good fun, especially because I’ve had a chance to have a good chinwag with Margo Lanagan. The panels for the children’s programme have been excellent and all the kids  have been incredibly polite and excited to be at the festival. I’ve signed many, many exercise books and pieces of paper! I have one more event to go, which is a panel with Trent Jamieson on Saturday on SF writing.

Then it’s the downhill run on my Tara Sharp novel and finishing off the year’s events with SheKilda and Supanova.

Angel Arias is due out in the next three weeks and some reviews have started seep through. You can read some of the MDPWeb staff reviews here and here.

I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to send Brigitte issue 2 of Peacemaker. It’s so close to being finished but just needs another day’s work. If only I could find a day spare! Grrr! SOON! WILL DO, Bridge! Promise!
