Ouija board, ouija board

 

Here’s a little bit of writer’s angst to keep the quota up. I was going to write a comic on being reviewed, but that will have to wait. In the mean time, you can listen to Carole Beu reviewing The Fall of Light on Radio NZ – she was very enthusiastic – thank you, Carole! I got a vile review in Craccum which I’m trying to blot out of my consciousness but of course all of those damning things are seared on my heart. No, I’m not going to link to it. You will have to google it if you want a schadenfreude moment.

Oh, and I am going to be appearing at a few events in the coming weeks. Next Wednesday (5.30 14 August) I’ll be at a Lounge reading at the University of Auckland, and the following Wednesday (5pm 21 August) I’ll take part in a Salon event with Stephanie Johnson at Charlotte Grimshaw. The next day I’ll be in Wellington at the Alexander Turnbull Library talking about my blog! Woohoo! Of course I’ll try and slip in some novel and comics product placement too. And hopefully I’ll get a chance to look at some of Katherine Mansfield’s original letters and journals.

And the title of this blog entry? It’s a Morrissey song, of course.
