Miles Franklin

Brushing up on my Australian history and culture in advance of a trip there to promote my book.  Australia’s premier literary prize is the Miles Franklin Award.  Miles Franklin, seen above, nailed it with her titles alone:

• My Brilliant Career
• All That Swagger
• Old Blastus of Bandicoot
• Bring The Monkey
• My Career Goes Bung

If you are in that part of the world, I’ll be at the

WORD Festival in Christchurch, NZ on Aug. 26-27

Avid Reader bookshop in Brisbane on Aug 30

and the Melbourne Writers Festival Sept. 2-4.

Come on out!
