Guardian Book Launch!
There’s a party for my book, at 6.30pm, Tuesday 13th April, and you’re all invited!
Y’all, I am so excited about this. Not LEAST because I am being introduced by the very lovely Penni Russon, who has written books I have raved about before such as Indigo Girls and Dear Swoosie. She’s an Australian treasure, and the way she writes wonderful, complex female friendships is something I especially envy.
ALSO my Mum is coming. From New Zealand. I am pretty excited about that, no lie.
I hope you will come too. Please do RSVP though, since I need to know how many drinks and such to prepare. I don’t want to leave you thirsty!

Is there any chance that you might do a bit of a tour? Canberra is lovely and cold this time of the year.
Well, that would be nice, but it is a matter of paying for it! Authors not so much rich people, as a rule.
SO: I randomly picked up your book in Barnes and Noble tonight (apparently, I was lucky enough to get it earlier than most – also, there were only 2 copies out). I was enthralled by the paragraph on the back and grabbed it on a whim.
Point? AWE.SOME. – In all seriousness, I loved it an absurdly ridiculous amount. I read it in 3 hours – I absolutely could not put it down. I’m already recommending it to friends and also gloating a bit that I was randomly lucky enough to get a copy now.
THANKS for the fantastic story. I can’t wait to read future works!
Thank you; I’m really glad you picked it up randomly and enjoyed it! Did you perchance keep the receipt? There’s a competition running for the first person to show me proof of purchase from a bookstore!
