In which Paige gets a little spank by a little stick
I consider myself lucky. My first book was published in 2010, and my second in 2011, and I’ve had really nice reviews in the media for both books all along, many of which I’ve posted right here. But… …today I got my very first not so nice review. Or ‘stick’ as they call it. One…

Winna, winna!
Okay, so I waited all day yesterday for Price Waterhouse Coopers to arrive with their briefcase and giant calculator to help me decide who should win, but maybe they got held up in the rain. So all on my own I read through all the entries in line to win this: and this: But there…
Bobbylicious rocks!
Bobby has a blog, and it looks like this: She did a very cool thing. She just finished reading my first book, A Million Miles from Normal, and she made a fashion mood-boardy thingy to celebrate. It’s very cool, nobody has ever done anything like that for me before. I’m digging it. Look: Now…

Bottoms up at the launch of This Way Up
So my new book, This Way Up, was launched at the wonderful Book Lounge in Roeland Street on Tuesday night. If you haven’t been, and you like books, I highly recommend it. (My bank manager would tend to disagree, but don’t listen to him, he’s a complete shoe and book bigot!) So there I was…
To market, to market…
So, do you have any plans for Saturday?I do. I’m going to be joining a bunch of other local authors at the Freeworld Design Market selling and signing copies of our books. The market looks like it’s going to be amazing, with tons of shit-hot local designers, live music, stone carvers (looking forward to seeing…
The problem with boyfriends
Hey all, in case you missed it, here’s last sunday’s column: I feel strange having boyfriends. Not the physical act of having a boyfriend, that I rather enjoy. What with all the sex and the fixing of electronics and everything. What I mean is that I feel strange telling people that I have a boyfriend….
