If I were…
Not a writer, I might be coherent but having handed the revised version of the book back to la agent on Monday, I now officially have post book brain...therefore a meme (as spotted on Tumblr via un-sate-able) If I were a month, I’d be September. If I were a day of the...
Ugh but amusing
Just had one of those fallen-hard-asleep weird dreams that was getting progressively less pleasant and picking up speed towards nightmare territory. Luckily I woke up (but now I'm staying awake long enough for the brain to re-set so I don't just fall back into it as I...
Happy New Year!

More please
Ten years later
Blogger tells me this is my 600th post so I thought I'd do a end of decade retrospective (given that I generally do my year of books wrap up post on New Years Eve). It's hard to believe that it's the end of the decade (and yes, I know, technically it's not but we're...
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone! However you spend this day and whatever your beliefs, I hope that today is great one and that 2010 is fabulous! The robin above isn't exactly evocative of Aussie Christmas (though they are forecasting a cool day where I am - which is just...
Five favourites
Heidi blogged about her five favourite books, so I'm taking up the challenge to pick mine. I will admit this caused much whining in my brain, so I might have to sneak a couple of honourable mentions at the end of the list. But here we go...five favourite books: 1....
