Here’s my formal announcement from the Supanova FB page:

Sadly, our friend and Supastar-author Marianne De Pierres has had to cancel her appearance at the Perth expo. She is terribly disappointed to have to do so, but ash clouds, family considerations and illness have conspired against her. She looks forward to seeing you all in 2012. Anyone who wants their book autographed by the author can contact her through this website’s ABOUT page and she will send them a signed bookplate and some goodies.

I have already received some emails for bookplates, so please let me know soon.

Yesterday, I heard that the documentary I was interviewed for last year (with Karen Warron and Sean Williams ) is about to hit the waves.

Blessed, I am. Apart from the goddam coldest weather I’ve experienced since I was in the north of Scotland, PerthNova rocked and rolled. Being the second leg of the double, we all got to know each other a little better and I’d like to say to Leah and Christine and Charisma and Eliza and Rick and Michael and Sharon, you are all special people. To my peeps of old, Ju, Kendra and Russ and Liz and all the Perth con goers – it was an absolute pleasure. Special thanks to those that braved brain freeze in the seminar room to come to my talk. Bring space blankets next year. Lastly to Dan, Missy, Fel, Jenny and my Supafamily – next year can’t come quickly enough. Wilson, please send crimson guard photos! Roy, please send group photos!
