The German translation of my first novel, Dirt Town, is coming out in March next year with @eichbornverlag! This is / sehr sehr cool / (please don’t come for me, I don’t speak German!)
Returning after a social media break and thought I’d attempt a photo of the books I’ve read and enjoyed (some of them are rereads) in the time I’ve been offline. Attempted a flat lay but the cat had other ideas.
Sometimes it feels like you’re a big old soggy wet sponge and you couldn’t possible absorb any new information, no matter how juicy! But also, I’m deep into Book Two and itching for some of that brain space to take it where it needs to go.
I can’t even begin to say how much I loved this memoir. I know a book is good when I have to keep stopping, and just kind of hold it to my chest, swooning. This is a beautiful, generous gift to the world and you should buy it and read as soon as humanly practicable. Funny, heartbreaking, and breathtakingly honest, I could eat Cadance’s delicious sentences on toast.
Coming down from the wonderful HeadLand festival and pleased to have the help of the best kind of package - book mail! I’d been watching with some envy as these two advance copies (Seven Sisters by Katherine Kovacic and Taken by Dinuka McKenzie) appeared on the feeds of people I follow on good ol’ Insta (that launcher of a thousand jealousies!). Now I’m home, I can’t wait to dig into two books I can already tell I’m going to really enjoy!
A huge thank you to the wonderful @headlandwritersfestival2022 - hands down one of the absolute best writers’ festivals I’ve ever been to! Tathra is such a beautiful spot 🌊
I was lucky enough to receive an advance reading copy of DARK MODE by Ashley Kalagian Blunt. It's seriously good folks (!), and I love this glorious cover from @_georgesaad (which is why I'm posting the colour version instead of just a pic of the ARC!). Ashley is a pillar of the #AusLit community and I'm so excited for her first foray into crime fiction! It will be out in March 2023, here's what I had to say about it:
I did not take enough photos at the Blue Mountains Writers’ Festival, but only because I was busy having an AMAZING time. The green room in the beautiful Carrington Hotel was actually green. Caught up with old friends and made new ones. Huge congrats to the organising team at @varunawritershouse and everyone who made @bluemountainswritersfest as special as it was.
Such a lovely shout out from the wonderful Enough Said Books, a fantastic indie book subscription service and bookshop who do so much to support writing and writers. And a timely reminder that I will be at @bluemountainswritersfest this weekend! One of my events was sold out but more tickets have been opened up, so hope to see you there 💙💙 (you can book at the link in my bio!)
