I've got another tranche of author events coming up - including a trip to Queensland, and interviewing bestselling author Dervla McTiernan.

The fact that the Pope saying some basic Christian stuff is considered a political attack against Trump and MAGA clearly shows the anti-Christian nature of the regime.
What happened to the Lutnick guy? He used to be all over the shows.
Seems like he’s failed this cognitive test.
Giraffe, television, Jesus…
Those hurdles including a visit from JD Vance.

But the Premier said Writers Week generates zero revenue, remember? 🙄

Can you imagine putting his rasping razor blade swallowing voice in your earbuds??
Meanwhile, in Australian media coverage …
Michelle is waving, wearing black fingerless gloves and a red flannel shirt, while sitting at her desk.
I say I love autumn, and then the grey skies hit and suddenly I’m gloomy and wearing fingerless gloves.
The vibe of these gloves:

How does this season make you feel?
I am so excited to be travelling to Chincilla in June for the WORDS OUT WEST festival. I'm offering a workshop titled: Crafting Tension with Precision.

Happy anniversary to my book babies 😭
One year for BARREN CAPE, three for THE RUSH.
Both thrillers explore social issues - whether it’s misogyny or homelessness or poverty or family fractures.
I know these two are on a lot of TBRs, so please consider this your sign to bump them up 🙌❤️
Unless he has something new to announce or substantial directions to share, I’d say: hold your powder, Albo. The Aus audience won’t appreciate a speech if the primary objective is: politics.
The stories span different eras and countries. What they have in common: a focus on people’s endurance, tenacity, bravery, love, and hard work. So many refugees end up giving back to the community and helping others; they’re a beacon.
Bravo, Melinda Ham.
Read it!
Stories of refugees, “the lucky ones” accepted into Australia on humanitarian visas. I’d recommend this to everyone….
it's come to this ...
on its 250th anniversary, America is now begging the Royal Navy to help out.
A statement on behalf of the Australian Cartoonists Association regarding James Hillier aka Nordacious and the QLD Government:
Protesters filled the streets at thousands of rallies across the U.S. and the world for No Kings.
The movement has spread globally, with rallies springing up in at least 15 other nations at a time when much of the world fears President Trump’s war could spiral.

Pangello made gaffe after gaffe, and his approach to social media - well, let’s say the vibes were right off.
SA Libs were decimated for a lot of reasons, and certainly weren’t helped by electing mediocre male leaders.
And ho - look at what they’re doing at the federal level.
Yep. He’s spent years berating and belittling NATO, set up his own “Board of Peace”, and now he wonders why they’re not racing to his aid?
Apparently some audiobook listeners enjoy a different accent. Behold, my roadtrip thriller THE RUSH, with all its Aussie goodness (thanks to Jodie Harris).
Four young people in a car, travelling from Australia's south to north - and a torrential storm hits.

Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"
Surely his new Board of Peace can manage this?
Trump practically told our allies to f-off — that we didn’t need them, that the U.S. had already “won.”
Now he’s begging them for help.
Completely and utterly deranged. Shameful.
Meanwhile, in South Australia...
Two tales.
I hate that people like this have any power or authority.
And it’s been granted.
This was one of many scenes I replayed …(she’s not a love interest but a friend he helped rescue). #TWD

Appreciate the spaghetti western vibes of #DarylDixon in Spain. Also some Mad Max vibes in there.
