April's Calamity's Corner

Plenty of entertainment this month. Our Author of the
Month is Rowena Cherry who writes futeristic romance
for broadminded people. Rowena asks What kind of
hero plays chess?

West Australian crime writer, Carole Sutton, takes us to
Falmouth in Cornwall the setting for her mystery thriller,
Ferryman.

The Unusual Event is a terrifying experience for Calamity
in Ireland.

I hope you all enjoy LJ Roberts book review of a debut
mystery author Belinda Bauer, as well as the usual review,
pets, quiz, writing exercise  etc.

Happy Easter

Sneak a Peek: Aussie Authors at Work

Rosalie Skinner and I started an exclusive blog for Aussie Authors, where the world can Sneak a Peek at Australian authors talking about whatever interests them, most likely it will be about life in Australia or books.

Guest Blogging, what a thrill

L.J. Roberts, the most prolific reader I know and renowned book reviewer asked me: What Do Aussie Readers Read? With the help of some Aussie readers, I came up with quite a selection.  http://booksaremagic.blogspot.com/ 

The Thanksgiving issue.

I hoped everyone survived Halloween. Last year a dad came with the neighbourhood kids, and when I offered them money he took it - to look after it for the children. The children were not impressed. This year I was prepared with a stash of lollies. I seem to have a few left over. Oh dear, there goes the diet.

In Calamity's Corner this month's Thanksgiving nibbles include: from Western Australia, mystery/crime writer Carole Sutton, whose latest book "Blood Opal' is now available. Come inside Ireland's most visited attraction (no it isn't the BlarneyStone). Wendy urges everyone to try NaNoWriMo at least once in their life. Spitzli and friends attend Obedience Training School. The quiz is an easy one for History lovers, about the most powerful woman in Europe of her time.
Jennifer Leonard shares something special with Sydneysiders and LJ Roberts book review features an Aussie author.
