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 . . .

- @postteen Wait. You're citing Hemingway as an example of *good* writing? Er, I have no response to such madness. #death2similes # 2 hours ago
- I'm offended. Battling similes is MUCH crazier. RT: @thebravetart that's as crazy as attacking the Oxford comma @Gwenda @christopherrowe # 2 hours ago

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.

Congratulations! I’ll be buying it tomorrow (it’s late here) to add to the American copy I already have. We’re all proud of you!

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!
