another snippet of X6 review:
"Heart of Stone," Cat Sparks, X6 – a tightly constructed, plot-driven X-Files style mystery, this one starts out as a quirky character piece but builds up to proper thriller proportions. Like the Haines piece, this novella has a really strong Australian voice to it, through setting and also character and dialogue. The one thing that struck me as really wrong in the story turned out to be vital to the plot (and no, I’m not going to tell you what it is)."

*woot* Launching when, again? ;p
Thursday 12 November, 7pm at Berkelow’s bookshop, Leichhardt. Trent & Paul are flying to Sydney for it. I’m thinking a few corks will be popping in celebration!
I just read “Wives” last night. Fuck me…
Yours is next. 🙂
Yes, that’s pretty much the response I had to Wives. Do me a favour… don’t read mine next! it pales in comparison.
Haha, fair enough. Maybe I’ll go back to the start and read from there. I read “Wives” first because of all the hype about it. Very well deserved hype too, but fuck me…
Margo’s is awesome too. But in a very different way.
