Australian readers can write me a personal message, for a pdf review copy, and I'd really appreciate feedback.
Recent feedback tipped me off to a major typo in 'Kandy Krush', involving most of the Table Of Contents listing the chapters of 'Wizz Fizz' instead of 'Kandy Krush'.
The software I use is weird with lists of numbers and words, and somehow, the TOCs were mostly swapped out. I have fixed this problem, which has only occurred in existing Print On Demand paperbacks. Future POD paperbacks will all have correct Table of Contents.
My daughter and I just did an amazing six night tour of New South Wales. We drove from Brisbane to Moree, where we stayed in a cabin with thermal artesian spring spas and pools; and counted 27 dead kangaroos on the way.
Then, on to Parkes, with its Satellite Dish, and the annual Town Crier competition, we counted 107 dead roos that day. We drove through the Blue Mountains, and stopped at Katoomba to see the Three Sisters national park. Stopped counting roos, but thought about the living emus, pelicans, rabbit, sheep, cows, lamas and birds, and the lizard we'd swerved to miss.
Staying at the Hotel Bondi, Sydney looked just amazing. We walked the famous beach, and swam at the Icebergs beach pool, and shopped for swimmers for J, who has swimming this term at school.
Driving home over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and through the Brisbane Waters national parks was so scenic, and the traffic was dogsh*t.
Coffs Harbour is a perfect half way beach spot, where the mountains meet the ocean, like an undeveloped Rio de Janeiro. Gorgeous walking along the Harbour to Muttonbird Island, and sweet swimming at Jetty Beach.
The Pacific highway was great, but I don't know if I'll drive the Gore or Newell highways again, after nightmares of dead kangaroos.
