oh ha
Methinks that Jon Lookis is a very sensible and insightful man / writer / person.
As an editor and writer I would always use and recommend Times New Roman 12 pt.
Depends whether you, the author, is 'telling' the reader what the place looks like - or you're having your characters move through the landscape, interact with it, trip over bits of it, fall into it, etc.
It always comes down to 'show don't tell'.
Geoff McGeachin's Fat, Fifty & F*$#@d is hilarious - an Aussie caper novel. His Alby Murdoch spy series is a hoot: D.E.D. Dead, Sensitive New Age Spy, and Dead and Kicking.

Brian Kavanagh said… - Hi Lindy. My books are only available on line, as BeWrite only publish that way, being a small press. They are on Amazon etc., but if buying from Australia I suggest the best way is to purchase from The Book Depository in UK. They are really very good and postage is included, yet they are cheaper than Amazon. You can of course ask any bookshop to get them in, but that is expensive. Check out The book Depository, http://www.bookdepository.co.uk
or ask your library to purchase them! :-)
Hint: the City of Yarra has the three books, so you may ask your library to borrow them for you.
Cheers,
Brian

They do my head in--! I've just about subdued Proscrastination, but Envy and
Spite do pester me occasionally, along with Writer's B--(but I don't like to think about that)¬
seriously, thanks! and welcome, friend!
I have a few real friends on here--not folks I've met, but people I really liked, I'm sure you're going to be one, Lindy! I can tell.

- Hi Lindy
Good to 'meet' you. I live near Upper Beaconsfield, so not too far away, but I have a daughter in Balnarring and other family at Mount Martha, who would be closer to you on the peninsula.
A friend gave me Scarlet Stiletto, first cut, and I really enjoyed it, so well done. As for Sisters in Crime - I've been to some award nights and I don't know how many times I've sat down to fill in a membership form, but I've never actually completed one - always interrupted and never got back to it (story of my life, really).
Maybe I'll treat myself to a membership for Christmas - I just have to remember.
Cheers
Jackie

- Hi Lindy!
of course Australia is the best country!
Just read your comment on the election and I loved it!
Yup, first time in a LONG time I was really proud of the US!
Still flying over the results!

- Hello Lindy,
Another Melbournite! And another cat person, although sadly I don't have a PC at the moment. Good to catch up!

Wilma Vialle said… - Hi Lindy, I am in Prague at the moment, coming to the end of reading "Bleeding Hearts", which I brought from Oz with me. My apologies for using this forum, but Google didn't find an email address although I did find your website. You've probably been told this before, but there's a "continuity" problem in the book. In ch 25 (p. 485 in the version I have), Virginia's surname is referred to twice as Carter instead of Walsh. I hadn't encountered your work before and enjoyed this book immensely. I'll look forward to catching up with the others when I get back home.

Luis said… - Hello, I'm glad that you added me. I'm sure that Australian true crime and U.S. true crime differ only in small, but entertaining ways! People are people, but contexts and circumstances really influence how people commit crimes, or at least how they are perceived.
