I quite enjoy doing pixel art animations, so here I join two loves, the pixels and my book, A Gun Is the Thing with Feathers, which the first episode came out at the end of last month.
It is a pre-solarpunk, beautiful dystopia with an Ace female lead and plenty more LGBTQIA+ POC peeps throughout.
It is free digitally and available in handmade chapbooks, zine style, via my Ko-fi. Links in bio. It is not on A-zon cause fuck them.

Authors: want to know how to give your book the best chance of being chosen by Australian libraries? One of my favourite places is my local library. Not just because of all the wonderful librarians and the books I get to borrow, but I also get the buzz of seeing my own books on the recently returned shelf, or hear that my farm memoir is being enjoyed or dissected by another bookclub. This week too, Australian authors received our Lending Rights notification (the annual payment AU authors receive if there are at least 50 copies of your book available in AU libraries). There are many reasons why it's important for authors (trad and indie!) to work on building library demand for our books, and for all the writers who have asked me how to go about it, I've created a handy online course with all the info, tips, links, registration pages, list of distributors, marketing ideas and downloads you need to give you and your book the best chance at Australian library success. You can access the course at www.boldauthors.com - hope it helps you achieve your goals!

Enjoyed interviewing indie fiction author Philippa Nefri Clark on her decision to use a well known Australian actor to record her audiobook 'Lest We Forgive' rather than to do it herself, use AI or employ a regular audiobook narrator.

Finally had my first bout with Grimmish! What a remarkable book. It's an especially good read for authors who want to explore Michael Winkler's unusual writing craft.
I absolutely enjoyed the creativity of this "exploded non-fiction novel"...the blend of memoir, writing tips, historical happenings, footnotes, social/psychological commentary and full on made up mischief, mayhem and mess (warning: there is lots of male on male sporting violence in the book).
What's also remarkable is that in addition to the innovation and craft he brought to this book (based on an American boxer's bouts in Australia in the early 1900's), Michael Winkler's dedication to the project...his self-publishing journey - his shortlisting for the Miles Franklin Literary Award and then the publishing deal with Puncher and Wattman is like going twelve rounds in and of itself.

A week ago I finished reading 'The White Girl' by indigenous Australian author Tony Birch. I cannot get the characters, setting and circumstances out of my head. Such a compelling, compassionate, courageous and beautifully written book. One of my favourite fiction books EVER.
