LOOK AT THIS!! I adore this swag. For a book starring hairdressers, it is perfect.

Aurealis was my second fiction sale, years ago. A couple of times, when they asked for edits, I literally took leave from work to finish a story for them! So to have an editorial and story in this issue is a real thrill.

Excited at the possibility of Worldcon coming to Brisbane, one of my favourite cities. The ferries are great, and take you to a variety of fun places. It would mean good friends and fave writers from around the world being almost in my backyard! If the bid is successful, will you be there???

The Narratives Library is a remarkable resource run by Karena Wynn-Moylan. Authors reading five minutes from their work and she has hundreds of these snippets. She recorded a lot of us at the recent Conflux Convention. I did a bit from The DeathPlace Set. www.narrativeslibrary.com/science-fact...
