Titus can’t open the door by himself, but luckily, his butler was there to let me in. Titus is a problem solver (you can probably tell that by looking at him). As we hung out, my problems disappeared into the ether.

So, a while back, I mentioned that I’m going to be in Australia in May. I now have events, dates, and locations!

Panel: Going Global. How do Aussie writers fare overseas? We look at how to navigate the business of becoming a global success, and whether it’s more lucrative to sell to international or local markets. With Kathy Charles, Luke Devenish, Chris Morphew and me, hosted by Jacqui Dent. I will be speaking from the perspective of a non-Aussie writer, of course. :o). Presentations, panel discussion, and audience Q&A.

I’ll let you all know if there are any updates or changes!
