I’ve decided to join the 2012 Australian Women’s Writers Challenge and aiming to at least achieve the Challenge Level of Miles (read 6 and review at least 3* ) and will take the Dabbler Genre though they will mainly be Crime.

Just bought myself the Kindle version of Kerry Greenwood’s latest Corinna Chapman Book “Cooking The Books” as an early Christmas present love the fact that if I want a Book I can have it in a few seconds sent to my Kindle ready to read.

Looking forward to the TV Series based on Kerry Greenwood’s Phryne Fisher Books to be screened on the ABC next Year. If you have run out of Agatha Christie’s to read give these Books a try Phryne reminds me very much of Tuppence Beresford.
I’ve just come across a Website called Unbound where we the Public can help Writers get Books promoted & Printed and get yourself a mention even, Stephen Fry and Terry Jones of Python Fame are using the site.
The hardest part is picking which Book to help promote I chose Banks’s Game An epic novel about an Elizabethan horse-whisperer and adventurer by Rupert Isaacson. I think I may even use this site for some Special Christmas Presents for the Bibliophiles in the Family http://unbound.co.uk/books/banks-s-game/promote?promoter_id=8041
I love used Book Stores and coming across some old treasures that are out of Print, I love the fact that I have in my hand a piece of History that someone maybe 100, 70, 50 Years ago sat down and took the time to write I think of the processes the Book went through to make it here I wonder about the Printing and the people who owned it in the past I think about the Day it was bought and why they bought it. I love walking into my Study/Library and seeing the Books of my Childhood and Teens bought new and from Libraries and used Book Stores some even making the Passage from England to Australia it is here that I feel most at home amongst my Treasures and my History.
