Just a reminder that I’ll be signing books at Angus and Robertson Post Office Square tomorrow (Friday) from 11am to 1pm with Kylie Chan.

Set in a gritty, crime-ridden Aberdeen, MacBride makes his story incredibly, horribly real. It reminds me of a more visceral version of The Bill. Had the most wonderful time at both events. A little disappointed that I couldn’t sell Sharp Shooter in Sydney (due to the copies not arriving) but made up for it in Perth. Big hello to Melissa May, who came by and brought others on recommendation. We love you Melissa! Hoping to have some photos to share soon. Meantime, nose to the grindstone editing Sharp Turn. Well peeps, looks like it will be out earlier than I thought. Make sure you put it on your xmas shopping list. As far as I know, Sharp Shooterwill also be released around that time in small format paperback. Perfect double for someone’s stocking! While I was in Sydney, I spent a fruitful few hours with my editor where we talked over some issues to help the editing/rewriting process of Sharp Turn. Now I’m getting to work to put it all together. Looking forward to molding the story some more. I’ll be in Perth next weekend for Supanova, and hope to have copies of Sharp Shooter to sell, unlike Sydney Meantime, if you’re a Tara Sharp fan, feel free to grab the Get Sharp! widget from the sidebar. You can find it on any page except the home page. Just paste the html code into your website or blog and voila! Facebook’s book platform now has a Marianne de Pierres/Delacourt fan page, moderated by Bexta. Share thoughts and good reads with others in the group. The whodunnit will be posted here as soon as the new site is up and running, which I hope is in about a week. Here’s a sneak preview … Tara and her cousin Crack decide to sneak out together for a night on the town while Crack’s *overly-managing* girlfriend is away. Three quarters of their way into a bottle of tequila they accidentally witness an art theft. Things are all downhill after that. Who knew the Perth art community could be so dangerous and desperate?
Sharp Shooter is actually on amazon.com in kindle edition. YAY! And I’m starting the new whodunnit tomorrow. Posting it first here with a link on Facebook. Basically a reverse of what I was doing last time. Stay tuned… Ahem … that is … I just saw the Angus and Robertson TOP 5 Recommended Books pamphlet and Sharp Shooter is sitting up there as number 1 in the Crime section. Pick one up when your in A&R next and have a look! Now, I’m going to stop talking about me… and start talking about you. Time for a new recommended read … No Time For Goodbye was recommended to me by a bookseller, after he’d had dinner with the author. The premise for this book really got me in … One night, when Cynthia Archer was 14 years old, her family disappeared. Now, 25 years later, she’s about to learn what happened to her mother, father brother, and she might be better off never finding out. The mystery sustained well to the end and there was a strongly portrayed internal conflict for the husband/narrator as he tries to discern if his wife is going crazy, or not.
This just turned up, even though it was written last year. Sharp Shooter is … “Wonderful, fast moving and laugh out loud, this is a read to get away from the real world.” Manly Daily. Glad someone out there shares my sense of humour!
