Truly chuffed to have an essay in this exciting anthology of writers reading other Australian writers! Edited by @blindybop, Reading Like an Australian Writer is a great resource for emerging writers, creative writing students, and anyone who loves Australian literature. My essay is on MJ Hyland and how she uses tension in her novels (with some broader thoughts about tension in literary and character-driven works). The book has essays by so many great writers, including Ellen van Neerven, Ashley Hay, Roanna Gonsalves, Julienna Van Loon, Jane Rawson, Anna Spargo-Ryan, Fiona McFarlane, Hoa Pham, Emily Maguire... too many to type out! Many of my own favourite authors, writing on other favourite authors, such as Nam Le, Carrie Tiffany, Charlotte Wood, Gail Jones, etc. etc. The book is released in May and you can pre-order it now 💫 #bookstagram #Auslit #australianwriters #australianbooks #australianbookstagram #creativewriting #writingadvice #reading #amreading
Genius.
Ha, nice timing, I was trying to describe this to a friend yesterday, now I can show it to him, had totally forgotten to look it up in YT. 🙂
Merry Christmas! Bowie forever!
There is also a hysterical interview dated 1975 ( I think). Bowie in his red bob, Man who Fell to Earth phase on the Dick Cavett Show. He was a little dishevelled and sniffing rather a lot…..dont think it was a cold though.

He sure was sniffing a lot, I’ve never seen him like that. I’m a big Bowie fan. I was lucky enough to see the chameleon in 2004 in Brisbane. One of the best nights of my life – although he certainly is a lot more subdued now.
