Kindling is inching its way into the spotlight courtesy of Hachette’s pre-publication mailout of the work.  

Fifty proofs are headed out to mags including Australian Women’s Weekly, Men’s Health, Reader’s Digest, New Idea and Who Weekly; and supplements for newspapers such as the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian, and The Courier-Mail.  Kindling will also end up in the hands of key freelance reviewers and interviewers who specialise in Australian fiction.

Finished copies will go out to a much wider pool of between 100-150 journalists and producers on newspapers, radio, television and online, around six weeks before publication.

How will it be received?  Hopefully, as well as the accompanying brown paper bags… 😉

After a lengthy wait, and a minor tweak or two, the cover of my fifth novel, Kindling, is available for all to see and admire…

I’m not gonna lie – I’m a big fan of this jacket.  I think it’s unexpected, eye-catching, and very successfully captures the essence of the story.
