The book cover shows a happy beach scene, with a white yacht out towards the horizon. The sky is blue, and the ocean has a variety of blue/aqua shades. A small wave laps against the shore. The beach is sandy and clear. The font of Beach Shorts is like handwriting, with a Sandthology in plain. They sit in white against the sky. Against the shoreline and sand are the words From the author of The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl and Joni Page.

It's Cover Reveal time!

Beach Shorts - a Sandthology ❤️
A diverse range of short stories inspired by the beach 🏖

I love that gorgeous cover, and there are more beautiful beach photos inside.
Kudos to my designer 🥳

Happy Fri-yay!

Lovely paving below a pergola with a vine growing up it, in front of the shop windows, with a Dymocks sign above.

Isn't this a glorious entrance 😍

Here is the marvellous Dymocks Hyde Park shop, always a pleasure. They sold all their initial stock of my The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl and have taken more. I'm so grateful 🎉

The surf is choppy and the sky cloudy. But there is a wonderful light in the photo. A large rock and a large plant are in the foreground.

The glory of a windswept beach on a summer's day.
A great place to sit and imagine ❤️

3 seagulls sit on a fence and handrail, the beach behind. The sky is a lovely blue.

Seagulls happily enjoying the brilliant blue beach sky!

What a treasure the beach is. It's been the background to most of my books.

Arthur C. Clarke, The Other Side of the Sky

A book from my personal library to celebrate my upcoming anthology.

As you can see from its dog-eared cover, a longtime family favourite.
Funny, thought-provoking, surprising & sometimes sad.

A glorious reminder of how good Arthur C. Clarke was.
