G'day Lo, I love your writing style and I chortled and guffawed at your description 'like a cheap human sausage'. It reminded me of a time a few years ago on Kangaroo Island a friend, Ruth, had bought new one piece swimsuit in a musky pale pink. She came out of her bedroom to parade her new purchase to us and her best friend said "Sorry Struth, but you look like bung fritz love!"

As for the pink rubber Tina mini dress that you let go for $12, you said "the part that left the most sour taste was that she was that she had absolutely no appreciation for the history of the dress." While reading it I thought dont you dare let her have it for $12 AND impress upon her that it really did belong to Tina. The tightarse will never be able to enjoy that it really did belong to Tina! Her loss, but the price for being a tightwad!

Hope you're well. Cheers

Ax

'You look like a bung fritz love' might be the most amazing description of an outfit I've ever heard! Your friend is a genius. I can only hope the tightwad decided she too looked like a bung fritz, threw the dress out and some far more appreciative person found it in a Vinnies for $5, loved it to pieces and is now reading this and realising what a treasure it is.... and sells it for a motza on eBay! x

Ah yes serendipity indeedly. And could you get a finer coupling of words than Bung and Fritz? I think not.

Any plans to do an audiobook version of your new book? I love to hear creators read and talk about their own stuff.

Yes there will be! I have recorded it and I believe it will be out on Feb 16 also, but I am trying to find out where and how... I'll let you know and thanks for asking.
