Last night I went to the EWF program launch party, and now the program has been made available online. As long-time readers will know, the EWF has a special place in my heart and I’m pleased to say that I’ll be there on Sunday 23rd May as part of the Page Parlour at Federation Square (see photos…
Estelle Tang from Kill Your Darlings recently interviewed me about Miscellaneous Voices and the podcast is up now at the Killings blog. I believe it goes for around twenty minutes.

Here is a link to the Miscellaneous Voices review from The Age (A2 Section) Saturday April 17, 2010, written by Lorien Kaye, page 28 I apologise about the quality of the scan, especially towards the end.
