Thank you for sharing your enjoyment of my brand new time slip novel Moonboy! You have picked up every nuance I wanted to readers to find, like people accepting you for who you are. I’m glad you enjoyed the old Aussie slang from the 1960s. I had such fun including it.

This clever review reveals some enticing details but not too much of the story: 'trying to avoid eating sparrows ...trying not to drown...rocky relationship with his stepsister...' @AllenAndUnwin
Georgina's been reading fun timeslip A MESSAGE THROUGH TIME by @AnnaCiddor. Siblings accidentally journey back 1700 years while exploring ancient Roman ruins. A fast paced and fact-filled adventure follows! Full review 👇 onemorepagepodcast.com/book-…

Thank you everyone @SocietyofV for getting in the ancient Roman mood so enthusiastically and helping me celebrate the launch of #AMessageThroughTime @AllenAndUnwin
Most enjoyable SWWV meeting today with an entertaining presentation by Caroline @GOPress. And here's @LindsayBamfield assisting @AnnaCiddor's book launch with the fortune-telling goat. I volunteered to model a toga but fortunately no photos of that...yet. 😉

Oh dear, I can certainly relate to this! I keep telling myself to just get the first draft down, but ...
Why yes, I did spend the last hour editing one sentence of my book...
