@FionaRRobertson They obviously think the scale is reversed and 1 is the best! You’re braver than me looking at Goodreads!

@thebooksdesk @shawliterary That’s looking pretty fabulous Martin. 😀

A group has planted hundreds of photos in a Byron Park - appalling anti- vax propaganda. No photos of the hundreds of thousands of Australians saved by vaccination. Or our hero healthcare workers.

@adrianmckinty Love that all your books are called after one of my fave musicians. And love the books of course. Can’t wait for Sean’s reappearance. You put the fun back in to fiction.

@DervlaMcTiernan Ha ha. I’m not having any problems so it’s definitely just you. Have you tried turning yourself off and then back on again.

A rare sight this morning- fog shrouding Cape Byron.
