It has been reviewed online in several places by:

* Susan and Meredith at Reading Upside Down and
* Adele at Persnickety Snark and
* Nicole at Planning With Kids

Also Miscellaneous Press will be part of The Page Parlour at the Emerging Writers’ Festival (on top of author Karen’s other hosting duties).

What is it, you ask?

The Page Parlour will feature over forty stall holders selling everything from posters to mooks, from zines to literary journals. This is the only place to stock up your bookshelf. This is your chance to get the latest issue of a favourite or discover something completely new; an opportunity to network and meet, to trade, to buy and browse the work of some of Australia’s best zinesters, independent publishers and wordsmiths all together in one atrium.

You won’t find this stuff in Borders, or if you do, it will be somewhere to the back of the magazine stand, on its side behind outdated issues of American political magazines. {Source}

Come down – I would love to meet you.

I will keep you informed of any further information as it comes in.

The first video is primarily concerned with writing and blogging – and how the two converge. The second video talks specifically about Surprise!

I hope you enjoy!

“Personal blogging can help a writer in many ways: practice your craft, increase your public profile and gain general confidence. Karen’s workshop will cover all these aspects for those who are beginning their blogging journey or those already involved who wish to meet and discuss this increasingly popular activity.”

I am very excited about this fantastic opportunity. I doubt, at this point, that I will be reading Surprise!; instead, I will read aloud my award winning short story ‘The Appointment’

Yesterday I picked up from the printers my lovely posters and new business cards. I will take a picture of these and post up as soon as I remember where I’ve put my camera.
