We’re in Melbourne, running around like crazies, and having fun. Spent all day yesterday at the fabulous School Libraries of Victoria conference, which was a blast. Shook me out of my jetlag. And Monday we get to hang out out with our Australian publishers at the Penguin offices, and also with the wonderful folks at the Centre for Youth Literature, Mike Shuttleworth, Lili Wilkinson and the fabulous Agnes Nieuwenhuizen. Agnes is profiled in today’s Age. She’s one of the most formidable, intelligent, engaged and engaging people I’ve met and today’s profile actually captures that.

Must dash!
