Hey friends, my debut novel is out *right now* and you can ask your local bookshop to order it, or else grab a copy here.

For what it's worth (very little these days alas), I'm thrilled to see Josephine Rowe's excellent and terribly under-appreciated Little World on the Miles Franklin longlist - hope it wins!!!

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

I don't want to alarm anyone, but Wayne Marshall's historical/literary/speculative romp, Henry Goes Bush, is at large and roaming the countryside. Track down a copy however you can.

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

In scenic Bacchus Marsh today for the launch of Wayne Marshall's epic Henry Goes Bush!

@NotRobSimmons @steve_l15 I think there's a genuine case to be made that he should be a Wallabies RWC last-20 specialist. How many times has he turned games?

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@steve_l15 Imagine Hooper and Pistol starting, and then Valetini and Cale subbing on at 50 minutes... 🤤

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@steve_l15 Love it! This is the kind of content that justifies the Internet's continued existence. I don't think it's possible to overstate how impressive a win this was. Hopefully can form a psychological bedrock for a big, big season.

@haribaldijones @MegafoonRugby @LekkerRugbyPod Don't get caught up with notions of delayed gratification and future reward. In the long run, we are all dead. This Sunday afternoon just gone, for at least 2 hours, the Brumbies were the best rugby team in the world!

[Christy Doran @ChristypDoran]

Drought breakers.

The Brumbies have beaten the Crusaders 50-24 in Christchurch to end a 26 year drought!

Famous victory.

Bravo to Stephen Larkham, his coaching team and the players.

Slipper, Valetini, Cale + unsung hero Andy Muirhead first class. Complete performance.

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@ARenardson @JohnBFergo Yep, I got this, too after 45 minutes. Now I'm hedging my bets by getting in the queue on 2 different devices. But, also, getting hungry/grumpy/hangry!

Rugby positions explained:
1,2&3 nice wee chubby guys. One of them has to be brainy. Often a GP.
4&5: the two tall ones. One has to be brainy. They take turns each at being sin binned.
6,7&8: two of them are called flankers and look normal ish. One of them is called the number 8. Not sure which.
9 wee jolly guy. Likes to kick the ball straight in the air.
10 brains, nice hair, knows roughly what’s going on
11&14 fast, tries not to get too involved
12&13 two actual athletes who have got involved by accident
15 big show off, boots it, catches it, boots it again

@SueMOrr @thebooksdesk Thanks, Sue! Hope all well with you!

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

Many thanks to Emma Rayward and Meanjin(!) for this thoughtful review of Here Are My Demands. All my world-building was not for nothing! (And now I'm inspired to go harder in my next spec-fic effort...) https://t.co/v2LC3bZFGh

@1KarenWyld Worth celebrating (even on the hellsite)! Congratulations!!

Me last weekend, taking in some sport during a break at the Short Story Festival
#ManOfThePeople

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

This weekend, the Australian Short Story Festival is on in Adelaide. It's always a great vibe, so get along if you can. I'll be moderating a couple of sessions. On Saturday night, there's a 'Complaint Letters' event that should be good fun. More here: https://t.co/yZSi84zOeg

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

All the promo assets you'd need for this concept already exist.

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

I would definitely listen to a podcast about the Adelaide-Glenelg tram line hosted by a former Federal MP, entitled -- and imagine this being spoken in the host's distinctive voice -- 'The Fine Line with Christopher Pyne'.

[Andrew Roff @roffwrites]

@steve_l15 A lot of yen -- but I for one accept the charges! If he can get his hands on the ball, Corey should get some space out there this weekend...
