Bloody hell. I hope you Canberran people appreciated the sacrifice I'm making for you. I could be at a fantasy-writing workshop with Cecilia Dart-Thornton on Saturday 17th May. Yeah, sure, I thought her trilogy was the worst sort of wallowing, onanistic purple prose, combining all the worst elements of both Tolkien and trashy paperback romances, but still, she's a published fantasy author and it's so cheap!
