My ticket is booked for the Perth Writer’s Festival and I’m delighted to say that I’ll be participating in three panels over the weekend. Still waiting on the official topics, but there is a mix of Speculative and Crime. Will be great to catch up with friends and family, and a few authors I know who’ll be there for the festival.

I’m particularly delighted to say that I’ll be a guest at The Perth Writers Festival in February 2010. Looking forward to catching up with friends and family already. After perusing the author list, I realised that I do know a few of the other attendees, including Garth Nix and Jack Heath. Should be a great deal of fun.
