Melbourne launch at Notions Unlimited; SupaNova wraps up

I was in seventh Gallifreyan heaven on the weekend as I sucked up cosplay and fandom at SupaNova Brisbane. I made friends with dogs and daleks…

… some fabulous fellow fantasy lovers, including Jessica Schick (the gorgeous pirate chick) ?from Kickboxingroosters and lovely Brisbane reader Kathy and her fab children.

I’m at SupaNova Brisbane today with the amazing Rowena Cory Daniells, fantasy author extraordinaire. We’ll be hanging out at Artist’s Alley in the RICC building. Here’s Rowena and I:

I drove down to Brisbane yesterday and did a book signing at Angus and Robertson Post Office Square (thanks, Amecka for your energy and hospitality!). This kicks off the next stage of my book tour which takes me to Melbourne, Toowoomba and Roma, and a few little places in between.). If you’re anywhere nearby, please come along and say hello – I’d love to meet you.
