I'm a novelist now, but that's only because I've worked as a barman, actor, streetseller, labourer, exterminator, factory worker, gardener, clerk, travel agent, teacher and drug trial guinea pig, amongst other things.

Hi David,

 

I'm one of the editors for Noir Nation, and I would love to get some more stories from Australia for Issue 2  (Issue 1 will be available Sept 1, 2011).  Looking for short stories and graphic stories (comics).  Maybe you have some, and could also help spread the word?  We start reading for issue 2 on Oct 1.

 

Thank you,

Alan

Never say no to a free review copy, Dave. Send it to me care of Text Publishing is the best bet. And yes, Peter was my native informant for a piece on Bass I did for Crikey during the election. Strange place Tasmania - hence the Flanagans.
Shane - currently at Ubud Writers Festival and theoretically incommunicado.

Thanks for the offer David - I've ordered a copy of your book (no patience / none / zero ;) )

Thanks for the kind words about austcrime, and shout if you need Crimespace hand-holding, you'll get the hang of things after a while :)

Hello and welcome! I just wanted to introduce myself, and my blog, The Book Buff: Book Reviews for Regular People. Check it out at http://www.thebookbuff.blogspot.com

There is always a giveaway going on at The Book Buff, click on the book title for more info:

The Aristobrats by best selling author Jennifer Solow (YA)
The Island (audiobook) by New York Times best seller Elin Hilderbrand (Women's Contemporary Fiction)

It can be a bit overwhelming around here at first, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
