The wonderful Paul Capsis will read “Singing My Sister Down” at StorySALOON's one-night-only 3 June show @ The Vanguard, Newtown. storysaloon.com.au

@ArwenAungle I made them up. I imagined them as something like sea urchins, only hairy rather than spiky. Also with their centres completely filled with orange flesh/roe. And perhaps not quite as big as the urchins shown.

@TheVelvetNap Thanks, Sandra.

@margolanagan Not a lot of help about but you could always trying banking ombudsman & there is a gov site for lodging scam issues…

Does anyone know a good source of practical advice for people (not me) who've been scammed? Probably by a non-Aus mob, but with a local (Melb) setup for collecting cash. Victim is getting conflicting advice from police and banks.

@sleepingdingo 😂🤣😂I already seem to be implementing this—oh, minus the meditation and focus.

@AngelaSlatter So, so wonderful!🤩😭🥳

@marlyyoumans 🤣Have a wonderful pie season, Marly!

Pie Time @margolanagan

I'll add Tender Morsels and Brides of Rollrock Island by @margolanagan as two books that I didn't necessarily rate highly at first but have really stuck with me.

Congratulations, Jonathan and all of us!🥳🥂

"The novel takes the legend of the selkie, of the human man who steals the seal-woman’s magic and binds her to him, and turns it inside out." @dancinghorse reads @margolanagan's The Brides of Rollrock Island: tor.com/2023/08/21/the…

@LaniganJudith @RonniSalt Best wishes, Judith. I hope you get satisfaction.

Hey twitters We used to do this during covid lockdowns and it seems like as good a time as any to do it again. What are you up to tonight? How was your day, your week? What are you cooking? 🥘 Call in and post below (or just read), meet someone interesting and have a chat. xx

X?

My cheery yarn riffing on the children’s rhyme “Tell-Tale Tit” is included in this collection, bwa-ha!

@AngelaSlatter 😂🤣😂

@KateForsyth Yay, Kate!🥂🍾🥳 Well done!

Guess what this means? #psykhe

Sat night channel hopping: “In the camps, the men became skeletal shadows of their former selves.” Onward.

@EllenDatlow Congratulations, Ellen!🤗

And here is my brand new Stoker Award, which I happily show off while Sophie snoozes on my printer and Jack the Jerk snoozes next to me on my cocktail table (too close to where I set the award, so I moved it)
