Here’s a teaser for the upcoming FALSE START book release, available in Amazon KDP, Kobo, Kobo Plus and Apple iBooks on 10 December. This is a cracker of a geopolitical technology thriller and second in the Blake Willis Thriller series.
Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.
My mother-in-law, at 96, has given up on the computer. Today we managed to find and buy an electric typewriter for her. She's very excited - but who knew the electric versions were so much harder to buy than the manuals?
Where did we find it? In a pawn shop!
Why thank you!
Yes!
I once asked an audience, 'Who here is disabled?' No one put their hand up. Then I asked: 'Who wears glasses?' Half the audience. 'The only reason you don't think you're disabled is that we've engineered around your disability.' It took them a surprisingly long time to admit it.
And such an odd thing to respond to...Just targeting women, I guess.
Crossing my fingers for you!
Argh.
If you took the hyphen out, it would be a completely different story!
It's a danger, I admit!
I have been absent, organising the publication of this, my 50th! Kind of hard to believe...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: in terms of appreciation received for effort put in, nothing beats freshly baked scones.
And telling your library about it!
And telling your library about it!
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy International Mens day 👍😄❤️♂️

Cover of The Heart of Winter by Shona Kinsella. A woman with long, plaited red hair stands with her back to the viewer, between 2 mountains. She wears a long, green tartan skirt. Flowers and vines grow around her, from her, through melting snow. She stands above a triskele
It’s Book Week Scotland and to celebrate, I’m giving away a signed hardback copy of The Heart of Winter, my reimagining of a Scottish myth about the seasons and the gods who embody them. Like and repost to enter, winner will be selected at random on Friday, 22nd Nov. Open worldwide
Yep!
Fortunately, they have some buddies to help
It's an excellent fact, isn't it? They eat the algae off the coral, ingesting some coral along with it, and incidentally cleaning the surface of the dead coral so that new coral polyps can plant themselves there!
Today I'm writing about the Great Barrier Reef. Did you know that much of the sand on the Reef (and on Qld beaches) has been pooped out by a parrot fish? #Reeffacts
I hope so too! But I'm prepared to block, and block early
That makes me happy!
And me, please!
Well, I’ve had a go and created a Starter Pack for those interested in Australian Kidlit.
Please let me know if you’d like to be added and/or removed.
Looking forward to connecting with others who are also Aussie Kidlit tragics and advocates.

Good! I want that book out there!
Thank you! I love getting students from all over - it leads to great discussions.
Kaz Delaney's The Cowboy's Baby Surprise was my most recent. I liked it a lot although cowboys and Montana aren't really my normal reading.
Right! I'm off to read the next Ben Aaaronovitch novella.
