Sailing
Guess what I did last week? I took a four-month-old baby sailing. Doesn’t that sound like a great idea? No? Turns out you’re right. Little Mackenzie wasn’t a huge fan of the open seas, but seeing as we booked the holiday with friends eighteen months ago, we gave it a good crack anyway.
Despite Mackenzie’s misgivings, we had a great time overall. It’s hard not to enjoy yourself in the middle of the beautiful Whitsundays!
Bookstore news
Moving on to book-related matters, The Big Smoke is now available to buy in two bricks-and-mortar bookstores! It’s a wonderful feeling to see your novel for sale at your favourite bookstore (Avid Reader, West End), on the same shelf as one of your favourite authors (Nick Earls).

New Adult crush tournament
The fabulous NA Alley team has announced they will be holding the very first NA Crush Tournament! What does that mean, I hear you ask. It means that heroes from the New Adult genre will battle against each other for the crown of ‘best New Adult crush’.
Seb – a worthy contender for the NA Crush Tournament?
NA Alley will post the official rules of the competition next Tuesday (4 June), when nominations for crushes open. I’m looking forward to taking part in the competition (and just between you and me, I’m also hoping that someone might nominate the hopeless-yet-loveable Seb from The Big Smoke).
Your turn
