The Sleepers Almanac is launched today

So if anyone's interested in my poem, which is in the latest Sleepers Almanac No. 9, it's the one about cricket, but not really about cricket. You know how poetry is.

The Sleepers online store is here:  No HERE.

Launch is tonight, I'm taking my sis and old work friend. Then we'll have dinner somewhere in Carlton. Except it's Monday and restaurants are often shut on Mondays.

The other thing is tonight the Episode 1 of new season of Game of Thrones and I have to be back not too late to watch that. I've spent the day in bed reading the first book and last night we refreshed with the last 4 episodes of the last season, including the Red Wedding again.

It's all a bit exciting.

The current Kill Your Darlings [Issue 16]

I have a story in it, called The Primordial Place, and I promise the story isn't as wanky as the title suggests. Good luck trying to buy it. I don't think it's in the shops (I thought Readings stocked it, but not all of the stores apparently. It seems Carlton store always does, but when I called them Tues or Wed they didn't have it in yet, even though it was 'out' on Monday.) I still haven't seen it! But if you want, and if you can, have a read. It's a good read anyway, even when I'm not in it. Maybe better when I'm not in it taking up pages.

Also, coming up in April is the Sleepers Almanac No. 9, and I have a little poem in that one and it's ABOUT CRICKET, Ramon. So, things are ticking along and it is all pretty good.

My agent is reading over my revised draft of the book and then that will go out to publishers. The same ones who saw it last year, plus one other who wasn't on original list (I think.) And so will begin another excruciating waiting period, slowed down no doubt by Mercury's Fucken Retrograde.

Ha.

What news you? Where's Alex?
