I recently arrived back from two weeks holiday spending time in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore to discover that one of my all time favourite authors, Lee Child, is heading to Brisbane on a promotional tour for his latest book. In my excitement I wrenched the phone off the hook and rapidly dialled the numbers for Event 32 to book my seats. In the state that I had worked myself into stuttering down the phone I asked for “5 tickets to Jack Reacher event”. Of course there was an elongated pause on the other end of the phone, followed by some tinkling laughter resulting in the incredibly polite Hazel reminding me that the event was for Lee and not Jack, (Jack is the main character of Lee’s novels). At any rate what a way to start the new month. If you are located close to Brisbane, and you like outstanding wordcraft – book in for the Lee Child talk – 09th April at the Irish Club.
After spending my two weeks abroad I have put together more information and had more funny and um…troubling experiences to add to the E-book – so keep your eyes out for the final version – at only $ 1.95 per copy it is great value, have a laugh at my expense, and for those that are going to Thailand there are some great helpful ideas for you.
Nearly time for the April newsletter – I will be distributing that very soon – please feel free to email me any details that you would like included in the future.
I have a lot of new book reviews to be published to the website, given the global economic times I am working through how I actually get these published on the website (without using the greatest website person in the world) using my content management system – fingers crossed I don’t crash the site for the rest of the year.
Talking of book reviews I have been reading some good information in the Good Reading Magazine, it is a very worthwhile read – they also write reviews (nearly) as good as I do (sorry Good Reading authors but what can I say – I’m good….). Can pick up a subscription through the website or simply go to isubscribe.com.au
Emerging writer’s festival in Victoria is rapidly approaching – the organisers are looking for sponsors for the event in the form of exclusive author sponsorship programs – which come attached with some great benefits.
I have also been plugging away at the teaching degree which has been supplemented with my endeavour to learn the Spanish language before and I emphasise – before – I go and walk the Camino in 2011. If you have ever tried to learn a language, aside from the steep curve you would probably agree that it is like gaining another soul, and sometimes just as confusing as having a second soul….
If you would like to become involved as a guest blogger on the site please drop me an email and we can work something out.
Good news our email contact list is now up to 506 people – please have your friends and everyone you know who has a passion for books or writing sign up to the website – I want to try and have a contact list of 1,000 people by Christmas.
Good times and enjoy the weekend

I thought that was very informative. Thanks for the cool post. I’ll keep following this.
