Yet more gratuitous self-promotion...

Here's me in Target in Shepparton! Yes, I found my book and made a Target employee take my photo.

If you're thinking I love that scarf, you'd be right.*

Unfortunately he wasn't very thrilled about the whole thing and no one else noticed, so it was a rather disappointing visit compared to my adventure in Morwell.

One of the most thrilling things was to see the company I was in on the shelf! There was Rachel Johns and RITA-winning Fiona Lowe and (just out of shot underneath my book) Victoria Dahl. All writers of fantastic books -- it's so exciting to share shelf space with them!

I don't think I'll ever get sick of seeing my books on shelves!

*I have realized that I have been wearing that scarf a lot. It's a 100% cashmere pashmina that I bought from the Shanghai Tang store at Hong Kong airport. I'd been lucky enough to get into the first class lounge and had been sipping on a few glasses of Veuve Cliquot when I decided it would be good to fill in the remaining time with a spot of shopping. I'm blaming the champagne for the fact that I didn't do the currency conversion properly and ended up spending a significant -- nay, VERY significant -- amount of money on a scarf. It's lucky I like it. A lot. Because I'm working that cost-per-wear ratio very hard. :)
