And so this is Christmas ....

Again? Already? This year has raced by.
And everyone is busy, so I’ll keep this super short:
Fabulous Beasts & How to Collect Them is now published and available. I’m very pleased with how it’s turned out, and I hope you are too.
If you’d like a copy, you can purchase here from on the website – only $28 to anywhere in Australia.
Otherwise, if you’re in the vicinity of my pop-up shop in Cooroy, on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, why not visit me and Calypso and pick up a copy in person? Then it’s only $20.
Or you can visit our stand at the Peregian Beach Market next Sunday, 15 December to pick up a book in person. Again, only $20.
Berkelouw Books in Eumundi is planning to hold a Book Launch for me, which should be fun. And then of course they’ll stock it in the shop. But more on that when I know the details.
Meanwhile, the ship with two tonnes of our new stock is arriving in Brisbane today. Can’t wait!
I have an excellent Customs agent, so it should already have passed Customs clearance.
Then it’s just my annual battle with Quarantine to get through. But I live in hope that by this time next week I’ll know what date I can start unpacking. The pop-up shop is going to look terrific, full of fabulous things that you don’t readily find in Australia.
Who doesn't love a massively busy Christmas season? It’s lucky I do.
