Thank you all! It's very exciting...if not a bit scary too.

Laura, it looks like the author spotlight page is out of action at the moment, but i hope to be added to the list :-)

Thank you Cheryl for your interest in reviewing my book- I am certainly on the look out for reviewers! At this stage i am still waiting on paperback copies to be delivered (i think they may have been lost in transit as it has been several weeks!)- but I could provide a digital version if you are interested?

A digital version would be great - preferably .pdf. :)

Amanda (manda_82) Hi everyone. I am Amanda, I'm 29 years old and live in Sydney. I love food and books and enjoy talking about both! I guess my preferred genres are Contempory Fiction, Young-Adult and Fantasy. I am trying to read more classics, but I do struggle with some of them. I am also hoping that this group will inspire me to read books by Australian authors.

Dave Lawrence (davefromjerra) | 6 comments Hi everyone. I'm Dave and I have just recently found this site. I'm 48 years old and I've just moved to Townsville after spending most of my life in Canberra. I read a wide variety of books, I suppose my favourite authors would be Stephen King, Agatha Christie, Ben Elton and I also have an unhealthy fascination with Kathy Lette. I've just started on Capricornia and hope to get into more aussie fiction.

A.B. Shepherd (abshepherd) | 72 comments Hi and welcome Dave - as you can see they are a warm and playful bunch around here! :)


message 1525: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi, I'm J. I'm a student, and I recently discovered my love for reading and writing--so I'm working on both. I am not sure what I want to write (I like YA and freelance writing), but I will see. I don't restrain myself to YA genre only, so I'm willing to try different things (if anyone has any recommendation, I'd love to hear them). Hmm, I guess that's all about me. And thank you for being so welcoming.

Hmmmm I think being a mod I have some powers here, even if my Big Ted persona doesn't scare you, maybe my growl will!!!"


I think the boys like it when you get angry Carmel.
