Hi Suzanne,
It sure is. Just running out of space. All bookshelves are full. Now using the floors of my wardrobes. I had six months off teaching due to anxiety last year. Ended up volunteering at the Lions Bookshop. Loved it but now I need a new house for my books from there. Grins.
Am not one for kindles... don't have the intimate feel of a book.
Cheers

I hear you Chris! I've read probably less than ten books on my iPad kindle app. It's doable, but not my choice :)

Hello everybody. I'm new to the group so thought I'd pop in to introduce myself.
I am a novelist from Brisbane. I have just published my seventh book, 'Cato's Prophecy', which is the third installment in the 'Strange Worlds' series.
Thanks for having me in this group. It looks brilliant. :-)

[Neville]

Hello, I am new to the group, so I will introduce myself.
My name is Neville- am almost 65, married with 2 daughters & 2 granddaughters. Originally from Adelaide, but moved to Victoria in 1986 for employment reasons. Now live in Pakenham (53 Kms SE of Melbourne). Have been an avid reader since I was a child. Now mainly reading crime,mystery, suspense thriller etc., but still have a go at other genres. Like a lot of Australian stories especially that include places I recognize.
I read John Marsden's series Tomorrow, when the war began in the last 2 years and enjoyed it very much.
I have 2 hours bus and train travel daily for work, so plenty of reading time -reading over 100 books a year.
I look forward to getting involved in discussions etc. and learning some new authors and books I haven't read yet, especially some Australian ones.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Neville:) Great to have you with us!

[Sandi]

Hi all,
I'm Sandi. I'm addicted to crime fiction in film and print, an avid reader (these days, largely of contemporary crime fiction across the sub genres) and a crime writer, with my first rural crime book published late last year. I live in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges in Victoria with my hubby and furry family and love it here. I've been meaning to pop in to say hi for a while but life gets crazy-busy, doesn't it?
Hope you're having a great weekend!

[Brenda]
