Sharing this link because I believe in the sentiment, but also so we can see the hero who disarmed one of the Bondi gunmen has a Middle Eastern name. I hope this will do something to combat incipient racism caused by this terrible incident.

Absolutely delighted to have made the CWIP shortlist!
The local anti-immigration march yesterday prompted me to share this story I wrote a while ago. Nothing’s changed.

RIP Jane Gardam, one of my favourite novelists. This review of her work is a few years old, but it gives an excellent overview.

😁 She inadvertently starts a riot while agitating for women to be allowed to study at the University of Cambridge.
I did not intend to start a riot, but I am proud that some reference to our story appears in the records of the Old Bailey law-courts. (Elizabeth Darcy’s opening words in my humorous Jane Austen pastiche Crime and Prejudice)
Sunday is Mother's Day in the UK. To celebrate, I've written a new Crime and Prejudice story entitled "The Importance of Being Wickham". The story is set in Regency England and the word "handbag" wasn't in use, so practise saying in your most outraged tone, "A reticule!"

Ever wondered what would happen if Jane Austen's characters were criminals? 🤔 Julia L. Miller explores that very idea in her hilarious book, "Crime and Prejudice"! Read all about it in the link below.

Thank you very much for sharing my work. It’s a great encouragement!
Churchill wearing a boiler suit to the White House during World War Two.
Did you know that the Ukrainian word for ‘suit’ sounds like the English word ‘costume’? The ones wearing costumes at the White House meeting with Zelenskyy were the two clowns* who attacked him. (*Substitute your own word - the more creative the better.)
And here’s another leader without a suit.
Looking forward to it. Just heard you at Writers’ Week. Excellent! Good to wake (some) Australians up to the terrifying situation we’re facing. Thank you for emphasising the reality of the situation.
Thank you very much for sharing this!
I do hope you enjoy it. I definitely need distracting from the terrible news unfolding every day.

Thank you. That’s helpful. I didn’t know about the dopamine effect from completing small tasks. Good to know!
One of my favourite children’s authors.
Wow. That’s amazing. Such a huge difference in surface level.
Fascinating article about the origins of the title ‘Ms’ in English.

That’s beautiful. Thank you.
I like this idea.
A very interesting article. Thanks for sharing it.

I’d love to be there, but it’s a long way from my home in Adelaide. It sounds like a really interesting event!
What a great idea!
Writing the references sometimes takes me almost as long as writing the article!
