Fantastic effort from volunteers all over Queensland and Victoria helping out on the clean up. Need to stay with it though, because it’s going to take weeks. I’m going to work out a routine of helping and working, because I still have a February deadline for Angel Arias. So far have only been able to help out with the Redlands Council effort.

Was planning to go to one of the mustering points tomorrow but think I’ll go out to Goodna instead. I did an author visit to a primary school out there once and would very much like to help them.

There are some great writing-related fundraisers going on: Writers on Rafts and one being put together by Fleur MacDonald and Kate Gordon.

And on a happier note (for me at least), many thanks to Garth Pendergrast for sending this awesome picture from Borders in Perth.

Aside from AussieCon I’ll be doing two signings at bookstores. Both on Thursday 2nd September. The first is at Angus and Robertson in Victoria Gardens between 11am -1pm.

The other is the Borders South Wharf signing and panel with Kate Elliot, Trent Jamieson and Karen Miller. We’ll be talking about why SFF is so popular and why we love it. 5.30pm onwards …
