Reading out my genre mash!
Oh my!
I was concerned the crowd waiting to hear my story at Books Kinokuniya might not appreciate my genre mash – a fairytale I’ve called ‘Jack and the Interstalk’.
I was the first on stage too…
But I needn’t have worried!
It was a hit!
There were some scary bits in the story, but…
George Catsi and Jane Meredith got up too, entertaining the crowd with their self-help romance and fantasy travel guide. Fellow Tweep & Facebooker Robyne Young even invented a new genre: the New Nanna genre!
It was a fantastic night and a great way for the NSW Writers’ Centre to launch their new program of courses.
Thanks for coming along everyone!
…we had heaps of fun racing down that Interstalk!!
