And here I was thinking that a book was not released until its 'launch'. In anticipation I have been trawling the Allen & Unwin site and, last night I came across the exerpt from Things Without a Name . I gave myself a teaser of the wonderful first page. But reading on a screen is not the same as reading with book in hand. I shall run to my bookseller tomorrow for my copy.
Well, well done and if I had a trumpet I would play you a fanfare!! (Is that how it's done?)
I also saw the fabulously intriguing Things Without A Name competition on your website and have been composing entries in my head ever since!
Enjoy your ceremonial libation!

Actually, most books don't get a launch. But I consider it a gross waste of an opportunity for a new dress and a lot of champagne, if a new book is not actually celebrated. I mean, how many of these will I get in my lifetime? With a modest financial contribution from my publisher, and a very generous response from the Randwick City Council, I'm putting this launch together with 'the more the merrier' as my mantra. So far we've got about 120 rsvp's, and counting.
I really look forward to your entry to the competition. At least I know there will be ONE fabulous contribution

QUOTE ME NO QUOTES!
getting published, particularly in Oz, is a difficult thing to do!
Look forward to seeing the book!
I acted as literary agent for a family member, I've dealt with A&U, they, like all publishers, promise the moon, and deliver dust, once you are signed!
Anyhoo, we need publishers, so, there we are!
I would love to attend your book launch, but will have to see if I can be in town that day. (I live in the country)
cheers and let us hope it makes the best seller lists!!

P.S. Are you going to post a first page or a blurb on it here on Orble?
Hope to see available in SA soon.
Enjoy the celebrations, you deserve it.
Love

Congratulations!
Mountain Fog, you've made a great suggestion - I'm going to modify this post to include the blurb and will post the first chapter here tomorrow.

Congratulations on the release of the book and the book launch. Sorry I missed the invitation - evidently I've had my head up my bum.
Now that I know the title I can casually drop into conversation.
"Read any good books lately?"
"Well, actually...."
Hope it goes gang busters for you Jo.
Love & stuff
