Tara Sharp has her own Facebook page. As of sometime next week, you’ll be able to follow some ‘inbetween books’ stories of Tara’s exploits as told through her Facebook page. They’ll be short, funny punchy mysteries to keep you entertained while you wait for the next book – and they are for free. Spread the word among your mates to sign up now as one of Tara’s friends and catch the beginning of the first story. And over at TICON4 you can read a new review for Sharp Shooter.
And… Spotted by the wonderful Kylie Chan at Dymocks Indooroopilly. Have never had books in Big W or KMart before – it’s kind of neat and kind of odd. When you’re used to only being found in the specialty sections of bookstores its quite unnerving. Like being stripped naked at your school reunion. If you notice any copies of Sharp Shooter in your local supermarket in the next few weeks – they should be in the ’specials’ section with Dan Brown. Feel free to move them there if they’ve been tucked away somewhere else! Belinda’s already done that – for which I’m VERY grateful. This review has been posted on We Read by Maree: Sharp Shooter is the first adventure (but hopefully not the last) of aura-reading, crime-fighting Aussie chick Tara Sharp, who manages to get herself in all sorts of trouble despite the fact she lives at home with her parents & a couple of crazy pet galahs. This genre isn’t my usual read (the cover says for fans of Evanovich – I’ve never read one of her books) but the fast-paced action, humour and cast of nutty characters make reading this book an absolute hoot! It’s set in the author’s home town of Perth, and there are lots of great little Aussie touches. I loved the way the author, Marianne Delacourt, brought all the threads of this crime-fighting mystery together at the end, while, I’m hoping, paving the way for more adventures for this feisty Perth chick. A fun read, perfect for the beach. 4/5 I’m a bit saggy today and a bit brain numb from talking solidly for three days but it was all good fun. Sharp Shooter sold out at the stall, so that was cool. There are some reviews coming out in various newspapers and magazines soon. Please let me know if you spot one. Thanks to Belinda for bringing in the advert from the new Big W catalogue. If you’re at Gen Con today, I’ll be doing a reading from Sharp Shooter in my morning seminar. I have one copy left to sell at the stall. Thanks to everyone who swarmed the stall yesterday and sold out Pulp Fiction’s supply of Sharp Shooter. You were very supportive and positive. Looking forward to a big day today, having already caught up with a bunch of people. Shout out to Renee and Adam and Maryann and Dianne and Adam and all the others that came and helped us pass the time. Kylie Chan and I will be at the Post Office Square store tomorrow from 11 – 1pm ish. And thanks to all the booksellers who listened to me talk about Sharp Shooter at the Allen and Unwin xmas books function. Hope you found the reading entertaining. I’m doing a short reading from Sharp Shooter this evening. Can anyone recommend their favourite passage to me?
