Possibly it is the genre in which they're written-sci-fi or fantasy horror-that allows me to forgive their weaknesses.Ĭontemporary fiction, that kind of genreless fiction that no-one can really define, is a genre I've never been particularly fond of, but can't quite put my finger on why. PKD and HP Lovecraft have amazed me with their short stories: some I've really disliked but on the whole they've all given me something. The Australia Day long weekend down at her family’s beach house is the perfect time to show everyone that they’re friends, with not a broken heart between them.Short Story collections that are a collective of several authors seem to be entirely different animals to collections from only one writer. But her hysterical denial – and the way she’s avoided him ever since – has made things awkward, but it can all be worked out. Saul knows he crossed the line when he claimed a surprise engagement with Grace. We are free! and for that alone, wherever you are in the world, join us in celebrating Australia Day. We are free to pursue our dreams, to love who we will, to air our opinions (sometimes I wonder about this particular freedom! 😉 ) and to build lives that reach out to embrace everyone. Usage of the title has grown increasingly ironic, but a fundamental truth underlies it.

Over at the Dark Side DownUnder blog (post goes live Australia Day, 26 Jan), I talk about how it celebrates community, mateship. Just leave a comment for your chance to win.Īustralia Day celebrates a lot of things. My Australia Day celebrations include gifting one lucky person anywhere in the world a stash of Australian art bookmarks and a digital copy of my Australia Day short romance, Mistaken Engagement.
I’m thrilled to be part of the Australia Day Book Giveaway Blog Hop hosted by Book’d Out and Confessions from Romaholics.
