Thank you to all the
wonderful people who stopped by and chatted with me at the inaugural Mt Gambier
Rotary Club Book Fair over the past two days. Thanks, also, to the Rotary Club who organised it all. It has been a wonderful weekend
and I have enjoyed meeting everyone, and the conversations had.
The highlight of the
weekend for me was certainly the joint presentation I did with Wendy
Altschwager, another local author, on How to Write Fabulous Fiction. We were
very thrilled with the feedback from those of you who listened, with some of
you voting our talk the best of the day. We had an hour together in front of a
copiously note-taking audience, as we shared from our own learning during two
very different writing journeys, and with very different styles of fiction.
If you haven’t already
met Wendy or heard of her and her books, she writes Australiana fiction, writing
humorous tales that capture the essence of the unique lifestyle, language and
culture of rural life. She grew up in the country and has lived firsthand many
of the experiences that she writes about. You can connect with Wendy here.
I am almost at the end
of the first print run of Mine to Avenge, and will soon be planning a second
printing. If you want to be in the running to track down the elusive typo in my
book, and win yourself a $50 Amazon gift voucher, time is running out to get
yourself a first edition copy, because the error will be corrected for the
reprint. If you fancy yourself as a proof reader and want to play ‘Hunt the
Typo,’ you will need to get in fast to get one of the remaining first edition
books. (See details below)
I thank those who
bought my book, Mine to Avenge, and hope that after you read it, you think it
worthy of your time. Keep watching this
space for some more photos of the Fair, which I hope to have available very
soon.
ABOUT THE TYPO
The typo in Mine to
Avenge is not a spelling or grammatical error, but is an error of relationship.
To explain, Mine to Avenge is a generational novel with multiple characters.
There is one part of the novel where I incorrectly state a relationship between
two people, which has been stated as something else throughout the story, for
example, where the two characters might correctly be brothers throughout the
story, there is one place where I call them something else, for example,
cousins, or brothers in law.
Please note:
Australian readers only. The book is $25 and postage within Australia is $15.
