So it appears I have been shamefully neglecting this blog. If it were a garden it would be overrun with weeds by now. There are, as always, excuses, some of them even quite good ones. I have been to many places to read from and talk about my book(s), which has been both gratifying and exhausting. But I feel that the time has come to return with a trowel, some canvas gloves and a great big rubbish bag.
My immediate impetus is to tell the half-dozen of you reading this that my first three books are now all available on Amazon.
(Of course the best thing you can do to get hold of any of my books is approach your nearest independent bookseller and ask them to order it in for you. That way, they stay in business and you save on postage. However Amazon remains the most cost-effective way for non-Australian readers to get hold of my first three books. With those readers in mind, then, here are the relevant links).
Pushing thirty, wearing seventeen
- Pushing thirty, wearing seventeen (Ginninderra Press, 2001) Paperback E-book
- Mapless in Underland (Ginninderra Press, 2004) Paperback E-book
Mapless in Underland
- First… Then… (Ginninderra Press, 2012) Paperback only (formatting was too tricky for e-book conversion)
First… Then…
Alternatively, you can sill buy all three from the Ginninderra Press website, with postage starting from $4 within Australia. Scroll ALL THE WAY down to the authors whose surnames start with S.
And just a reminder that my latest book, Drag down to unlock or place an emergency call (Pitt St Poetry, 2013) remains available on the Pitt Street Poetry site, for only $2 postage within Australia and $5 elsewhere.
