HTDYF in Australia
How To Ditch Your Fairy will be published in its shiny new paperback Australian edition next month.
So. Very. Soon.
If you go over to the Allen & Unwin Alien Onion blog you’ll see what it looks like.
And guess what? I’ll be doing a wee bit of a mini Oz book tour. I’m dead excited.
Two of my events are in Melbourne, including the actual book launch:
- 22 Feb 2009, 2:00PM – 3:30PM
Me and Simmone Howell in conversation + cake
State Library of Victoria – Conference Centre
328 Swanston Street
(Entrance 3 on La Trobe Street)
Melbourne, Victoria
Go here to book
24 Feb 2009, 6:30PM
Australian launch of How To Ditch Your Fairy
My book will be introduced by the lovely Lili Wilkinson!
Readings Carlton
309 Lygon St,
Carlton, Victoria
Please to come out and see me, oh lovely Melbourne peoples. Bring your friends! Bring your friends’ friends!
Then I’ll be at the Perth Writer’s festival. Not sure of my exact schedule yet, but will post as soon as I know it. I haven’t been to Perth in an age so it will be fun to catch up with my sandgroper friends. Here’s the dates I’ll be there, if not my actual schedule:
- 28 Feb-2 March 2009
Perth Writer’s Festival
Perth, Western Australia
There may also be a Sydney event in March, but nothing definite yet. Fingers crossed. I would hate to slight my home town.
Can’t wait to see some of you out and about in the real world.

It’s a shame you can’t come to Canberra. Both you and Scott have a large fan base in Canberra. Maybe in another trip you can go there. Please!

Sir Tessa: Yay! Though I really think you need to bring bells.
Jesi-la: Nice to know we have fans in Canberra. Thanks! But I just goes where Allen & Unwin sends me. My life is not my own . . .

How exciting! I’m coming to the launch, even though I’ll be a little bit shy in your oh-so-gracious presence.
And we get Lili Wilkinson too? Extra awesome!
