Some Questions for Those Who Have Read Magic or Madness (Updated) »
Today is Magic or Madness Day in Australia
I just found out that Australia’s today, 29 August 2005, is the official publication date for Magic or Madness in Australia.
Woo hoo! I’ve finally had a book published in my homeland!
Go forth and buy it! Or, you know, have a peek in a bookshop and tell me if it’s there . . .

Congratulations, old girl. Though I do rather imagine this mightn’t quite make up for a certain loss suffered today in the old country, eh? Not gloating, old girl, merely observing.

Hi Justine
Just thought you’d like to know I bought a copy of Magic or Madness in Hobart today – actually, in Kingston, a small town outside Hobart. You’re in the fringes!

Thanks Tansy! So reassuring to know that there are actual photos of it in actual book shops back home. And even in Tasmania! Woo hoo!
It’s very frustrating being in the northern hemisphere when my first novel is happening back home. My consolation is that I’m in Mexico!
