On the radio

Because I love early mornings so very much, the kind people at ABC radio have invited me to speak on their Overnights program again. On the morning of Tuesday 3 September 2019. At 4:20 am. Yes, that IS when I'm at my best and brightest, thanks for asking. In case you missed it (because apparently the very excellent blogger and biographer Nathan Hobby is the only person in the world who actually heard it live), my last interview with Overnights was terrific, and you can listen to it here. This [...]

What does being a new author feel like?

So far? Joyous. My friends and family are all super happy for me and it's too soon for any dubious reviews. Quite the opposite, including this very nice one in The West Australian.

And every occasion was full of people who wished me well, and simply wanted to know more about Elizabeth Macarthur. The launch [...]

How to launch a book

Full confession: launching a book really is fun. And everyone is so nice! Over in Facebook land I've never had so many likes in my life. I went into Readings Carlton to sign some copies, and they've subsequently put a copy of Elizabeth Macarthur into the window. Truly, I can now die happy. I've had two radio interviews so far, and they both went well. Only one is available online, though: ABC Melbourne (774) Breakfast Show. Fast forward to 1:14:20 if you want to hear me rabbiting on for about 6 minutes [...]
