August issue of Calamity's Corner.

Happy August, Everyone.
I hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

Since my novel, 'The Unhewn Stone' will be available
in ebook from 12th August, I'll give you one guess
who the featured author is, this month. :)

In the travel feature, American Romance author
Pat McDermott shares her romantic cruise to Alaska.
Our regular columnists LJ Roberts and Jacquie Rogers
present their book review and Blast from the Past,
respectively.

We have an Aussie pet that works with a team-mate
and my young Swiss friend, Janine Wipfli, sings on TV
in Altdorf (which just happens to be the setting for
my novel). This is a magical video, one you simply must
see. 7 minutes long, so it might take a little while to load.

And there is plenty more.
If you'd like to receive this fun ezine, just  Subscribe to Calamity's Corner.
We'll be delighted to welcome you.
Until next month
Fond wishes

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.

If you are a reader, writer, movie buff or traveller, you are welcome to subscribe and contribute, if you like.
calam@live.com.au It's free
Good Luck NaNoWrimoers. Will you be among the 18% who win?!!

Calamity's Corner September issue

September is a magical issue. Our Author of the Month features Jacquie Rogers, author of Faery Special Romances. Book Doctor, Edith Parzefall takes us on a romantic journey to the breathtakingly exquisite Iguazu Falls in South America and supplies this month's quick quiz. Prolific Australian Author Sally Odgers presents our Pet of the Month, Preacher, a rising star :) and two stories on Texan author Celia Yearly's blogspot inspired the writing exercise.

LJ Roberts' regular column reviews An Unhallowed Grave, Deborah Cannan and Calamity comment on recent movies, and Calamity's dear friends Jan & Ken Manning share a lofty experience.

This is another fun read to enhance your September leisure time.
