A new Australian author, always much appreciated, this book is set on the fringes of the IT industry, with a central character who is a technical writer... There is so much here that makes sense :)

Reading this one for review over at http://newtownreviewofbooks.com/ - it's marketed as YA, but it should work for a wider audience.

April, apart from finishing off one book, was 100% Australian author month. Half way through the month it dawned on me that in 2006, when I got the first version of this site up and running, it was a bit tricky to fill an entire month's reading with local books - even with a bit of back catalogue re-reading.

A wonderful way to start off the month, after a rather heavy lifting month of strong, very good Australian Crime fiction, I turned to the 2nd Discworld book in my re-read of this very favourite series.

Probably my final book for Aussie Author month as I don't think I'll get this one finished before midnight :)

There are some authors whose books arrive and I find myself torn. Between being desperately keen to read and being ever so slightly too scared to read. Add to that a beautiful big black mare as an integral part of the opening scenes and I will confess to being slightly worried / slightly apprehensive. To be reviewed at Newtown Review of Books.
