August Update
Oz Comic-Con is Go!
We finally have the communications issues sorted (they were very apologetic) and I am confirmed for Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne next year. Lock it in – we don’t know dates yet – but I will be there – with copies of ‘Serpent Princess’, my new Dark Heavens novel!
Brisbane and Sydney September 2024
In more immediate news, I will also be at Oz Comic-Con Brisbane and Sydney this year. I doubt I’ll have ‘Serpent Princess’ ready for the shows (it’s in editing right now) but I’d love to see you at the show and say hello.
I’ll be in Brisbane on September 14-15, and Sydney September 21-22, so come on up, say hello, and yell at me for not having ‘Serpent Princess’ out yet!
I’ll be in touch with the high-tier patrons soon to arrange for their passes to the shows so they can come and help me out for the day. It’s always fun to have someone along to help!
‘The Sentimental Blonde’
Elle launching ‘The Sentimental Blonde’ at Avid Reader in West End
One of the most rewarding parts of being an author is helping others. I was delighted to assist Elle Croxford, through her residency at the Queensland Writers Centre, to release her fabulous historical romance, ‘The Sentimental Blonde’, direct to consumer.
The first thing anyone says when they see the cover (on the left) is… ‘She’s not blonde!’
That’s because it’s the story of Australia’s first movie blockbuster, ‘The Sentimental Bloke’, a film from the silent era. For fifty years it was thought lost, until it was found – in New York – mislabelled as ‘The Sentimental Blonde’ (probably because they thought the word ‘bloke’ was a meaningless typo).
Elle tells the story of Lottie Lyell, the pioneering woman who produced, directed, and starred in this film, and I was immensely proud to help her to reach her goal of having her fabulous story in print.
More info at ellecroxford.com, and if you know someone who wants to self-publish their novel or memoir and doesn’t know where to start, then send them in my direction – I’m only too happy to help!
