Withdrew from Adelaide Writers' Week today. Was SO excited to participate, but the Board dropping Palestinian author Abdel-Fattah is a political flexing and censorship that stands in direct opposition to my values. Very sad. Love to Everyone affected. https://t.co/0iQqZlSvmQ

Hi All. Posting a link to a long interview (free content) in three parts with Kate Cooper at Vision Australia Radio, in which we discuss writing and books and teaching. Really enjoyed this conversation. #books #literature #writing

One day left to vote in the ARA Historical Novel Prize's Reader's Choice category. Prize draw for people who register and vote (AUS and NZ residents). I'd love your vote, but, as you tell by my posting this with less than 24 hours to go, I'm not too fussed

A few reading recommendations here for anyone interested in novels about Korea, Japan & China. It's a cool site- they're connecting readers and books in a more useful way than other algorithms. I struggle writing blurbs, but hey, here are some:
