I don't think I mentioned it after reading, but THE UNDERHISTORY by @kaaronwarren.bsky.social was an amazing read I'd recommend to anyone who likes novels filled with equal parts wit and tension 🫣

Forever grateful to @jolietoomajan.bsky.social recommending it and introducing me to Pera Sinclair 😍

Not the best image of my Ditmar Award, won along with @kaaronwarren.bsky.social for our collaboration Tool Tales last year. Cat Sparks delivered it to me just before I left Canberra for home.

The Narratives Library is a remarkable resource run by Karena Wynn-Moylan. Authors reading five minutes from their work and she has hundreds of these snippets. She recorded a lot of us at the recent Conflux Convention. I did a bit from The DeathPlace Set. www.narrativeslibrary.com/science-fact...

I was looking for info on the band West Thebarton and found this article from 1891. It reads like the TOC of an anthology! "Mr Pilkington's Deceit. Mr Ferry's Spinaway. Mr Petrie's Pickpocket". https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/91535829

Looking forward to OzComicCon this weekend. We'll have copies of Vandal: Tales of Damage. Trying to think of some suitable swag...bits of broken glass? Small hammers? Bent nails?
