Hey my names Courtney.I joined this group a little white ago, but just sprouted the courage to introduce myself now.
My 3 favourite things in this world are
Books
Bags and
Boots.
I also love my animals and have a Noah's ark thing happening at home.
My favourite Aussie author is Malina machetta (my spelling and grammar are horrid so sorry)
I love finding grace and the messenger. I'm so glad I read the latter before the book thief otherwise I would not have read the messenger and it truly is one of my favourites. I love recommendations as I can easily get into a rout of bad book choices and that makes me a sad panda! And welcome the chance to make new friends so again hi!!!!!!

"I’d like it to be a resource for finding Australian books, authors, writing groups, conferences and competitions happening around the country." EXCITING! Thanks MandyM.
I'm from Brisbane, Kangaroo Point, recently published a book with strong Australian flavour/references - more to follow.
Tapping into discussions like yours is encouraging, and appreciated. It's a big, wide world of books out there, getting noticed, getting feed-back is gold. Oi Oi Oi, MandyM.

Hi I'm Greg - I have run an indie bookshop and ABC Centre for ten years but I'm relatively new the the 'Good Reads' community.

I read very widely but retreat into murder mystery when I need a break or want to relax.

I've started to write my own murder mystery series which I'm serialising on Wattpad. The first story is called 'Death on Dangar Island'

Hi & welcome all new people :)

[J.M.]

hi all,

I escaped from America and moved to Australia back in 1999. I remember when 9/11 (or is it 11/9?) happened. My wife called me at work and said someone flew a plane into the World Trade Center. I replied, "What, on St Kilda Road???"

I wound up leaving Australia a few years back, moving to South America and writing a bunch of guidebooks for Lonely Planet, including LP Colombia, LP Venezuela, etc. Now I'm publishing a series of novels based on my experiences in South America... but I'm not supposed to talk about that here. :)

hi Brenda... yes, I am 120% cheek, as my readers will attest. Living in Australia really taught me how to take the piss! LOL

I am currently marooned in Canada, looking to find a way to bring my family back to Oz... fingers crossed. :)

hi Deborah, no, that was Thomas Kohnstamm, who is actually a good bloke. I worked with him on Lonely Planet Venezuela just before that scandal broke.
