I have just attended a *very* interesting panel discussion on what publishers are buying in Australia right now. There were representatives from Harlequin Mills & Boon, Avon, Carina Press, Allen & Unwin, Penguin, Hatchette and Random House. The final four listed, in their own descriptions ‘mainstream publishers’, are starting to accept romance. They were polite […]
I arrived in Melbourne this afternoon, and made sure I turned up to register with plenty of time for the Romance Writers of Australia 20th Annual Conference, which is on this weekend. The theme this year is ‘From Here to Eternity’, and is already looking like it will be a brilliant weekend. I have been […]
I have put off writing this review for a while, because I really wasn’t sure what to say. I loved Fallout 3 so much and spent hundreds of hours playing the main game and all 5 expansions as they came out. So I was really looking forward to Fallout New Vegas when I heard about […]
One of the student casuals at work left last week, returning to Sweden. This is the card I made, the background paper is all one piece even though it looks like multiple pieces of paper. The base cardstock is an off-white speckled card that has an uncoated texture. I really like to work with this […]
I have never been interested in Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) games in the past, I’ve had a bit of a look at some of them and there was no appeal. But the Star Wars game Old Republic has been in works for a while now, and I was kind of interested in that, and wondering […]

This is a classic BBC miniseries from 1998. I had seen the first two episodes when it originally screened, but never seen the whole series. Dave had not seen it at all, so when I discovered a friend had the series on DVD, I thought it would be great to watch the whole thing (thanks […]
Last weekend we went away, and amongst other things had a few Rock Band 2 sessions. We have unlocked the Endless Setlist, and even made a start on it, but decided to wait until we were less tired and there were more of us (as it is better to have a few extra people to […]
introducing my new theme! It took ages to find one I liked that I felt reflected the look and feel I want for the site. Initially I was looking for ‘shabby chic’ styles, and was unable to find any designed for wordpress (only for blogger). Then by accident I stumbled upon different search criteria – […]
This was delivered to Tanith a few weeks ago – I finally resolved the issue of looking unfinished. I added ‘Exhibit A’, the microscope slide, the gold foil swirls, and the braiding down the bottom. Very happy with it now.
