Hello my Freaky Darlings,

This weekend saw the launches of two books by great South African authors. Deadlands by Lily Herne and Black Heart by Mike Nicol. It always excites me when I see authors I know doing great things.

I also made it onto BookSA and got a carrot from them (apparetly a good thing), which for me is a sign that I’m finally making some headway as an author in my own country. I’ve found that it was a lot easier to get reviewed by international sites like Fatally Yours, Horror Bound, and Un:Bound. For some or other reason getting South African sites to take any notice has been a bit of an uphill battle, so the fact that I recently made it onto LitNet and now BookSA is a bit of a triumph. I’m a happy little writer!

Exclusive Books in Sandton City, for those of you in the Johannesburg area, has ordered a few copies of Shadows and those copies should be arriving in the next week or so. If you’re not in the Johannesburg area and want your local book store to order it for you, you just need to get them to order it directly from Ingrams. They’ll probably need the ISBN number which is 978-0-983279204.

If you want to know how to help your favourite author (if you’re reading this, I’m going to assume that you like me, that you really, really like me) here’s a very helpful post that explains all the different things you can do to help. Let’s face it; most authors need all the help we can get. I know I do.

Thanks for all your help!

Misbehave horribly!
