The Hazards of the Modern Writer-Postman, Episode 3

So. Below is the result after I told my postie-bike my latest writing news.

Aargh!

This is what happened: Its been a year since I was placed on the books of Australian Literary Management so On the anniversary of this significant event, I decided to contact my agent Lyn and report on the progress of my crime-novel-in-the-works, Burned. I emailed the opening 50 pages and she likes it! I’ve now passed the 60,000 word mark (the complete manuscript will run 75,000-80,000 words). I’ve just returned to my postie run after a week off and told my bike these pieces of news today. The picture above is its reaction. Shock. Surprise. Who knows?

I'm a children's and YA author from Australia. I've published books with very sensible titles such as 'Susie Smelly-feet', 'Birdbrain' and 'Red Goes Green'. I've also written scripts for Australian television dramas such as 'Neighbours' and 'Home and Away'. I've always hankered to publish a crime novel for grown-ups and at present I'm embarking on a crime writing career.
