AMAZING NEWS!
Bendigo's bid in the www.vic.gov.au/victorian-wo... was successful. Barbara Rae - the captain of the winning team and highest scorer from my book Bowl the Maidens Over will be commemorated with a sculpture.
My book brought this story to life and Barbara is finally being recognised.

Alison, thanks so much for the share! If it wasn't for the pioneering women in 1874, maybe we wouldn't have the women's Ashes today. Glad you're enjoying the story!

I've been helping to organise this subscribe-a-thon and I can't wait to share the details! Coming soon from @australasianhorror.bsky.social
It's been a while since we've posted anything here, but we're looking to change that. And we're going to start by posting details of our first ever subscribe-a-thon - something for our members. Thanks to our wonderful sponsors, we've got the most fantastic prize packs to give away! Stay tuned!

Thanks @tananarivedue.bsky.social - this is a huge help. (PS I loved The Reformatory and loved you explaining what inspired you to write it.)
I made this Horror Community Starter pack with established horror creators - and I still have plenty of people to add. (Stephen King isn't even on mine yet - but he doesn't post.)
I've seen other horror lists that also include new and aspiring horror creators, horror fans, etc.

Anyone looking for a code for a friend?
We’ve got some new codes for people and journals still stuck over in the old place. Who needs them?

We’re in for some wild weather in Victoria, Australia. Severe winds and bushfires in some of the state, floods forecast elsewhere. Hoping that people stay safe.

Apparently it’s a common error, but unleaded went into the diesel car fuel tank. Tank pumped, new fuel in. I give the experience, which cost $550 (including lost fuel) and 4 hours, ZERO stars.

This is the best behind-the-scenes doco I've ever seen, about how TALK TO ME hit at Sundance and the long road the RackaRacka bros took to get there and it's just really affecting and fun, esp if you're from Aus - have a watch!
