…this is my book 🙂 Due out October 2008 For further details go to Miscellaneous Press (Okay, this is the last time I’ll mention it for a while!)
It is with a great amount of pleasure, pride and a tiny bit of nervousness that I am hereby officially launching my sister site and ‘book business’ blog: Miscellaneous Press Come on over – I have something very exciting to show you…
Wednesday was not a good day. At least, it wasn’t up until 12.28pm. Until then, I’d had whinging children constantly in my ear and I wasn’t feeling the best emotionally: Will the BOOK be a FAILURE?

I won’t be around much here this weekend as I’ll be in at the festival, first as an audience member today and tomorrow doing my speakers bit. I’d say this was the last call for locals (or non-locals – Trish flew down especially for it!) to come down and support the Aussie writing community –…
