It is that time of the year again: The annual Australian Costumers’ Ball. The nineteenth to be exact. It is the time when I get to plan and make a new costume. I have been a bit slack this year. In my heyday, I was making almost nineteen costumes a year (for myself and family…

Getting up early on the weekend is always a battle; yesterday was not so arduous. I was off the the Salisbury Writers’ Festival. I tottered to the car, bleary eyed, thankful I was getting a lift. Once there I sniffed out the tea station for some caffeine, searched for fellow members of my writers’ group…

A Change of Location
original post: http://karencarlisle.purplefiles.net/2015/08/19/a-change-of-location/ Another few chapters down. Our heroes have left the (relative) safety of the Department of Curiosities and are currently in dirigible-flight to far flung destinations but, sadly, not to our heroine’s country of choice.

It’s National Bookshop Day!
It’s National Bookshop Day. Despite the choruses of doom last decade, the book is not dead. And neither are the purveyors of reading pleasure. According to this ABC story “Australian bookstores are still going strong” – and I am glad. Give me a paperback to shove my dog-eared bookmark into any day. I love bookshops. That won’t an…
