I have just printed out the first draft of 'Curious Minds', a book for the National Library of Australia which is a serious history of the naturalists and natural history artists who operated in and around Australia from about 1690 to 1890. I have perfect-bound it to take across to New Zealand, where I plan to relax, but read through it. I have also used Text-Aloud (R) to convert it to mp3 files so I can listen to it as well--you get lots of help with rhythm and homonym-typos that way. I will also be working on the 'Small Monsters', but that's all I'm going to say about them for now. The rest of this year will be hard slog on existing projects, and a lot of comedy.
