<p>-----</p> <p>Good grief - that sounds a fair bit posher than it really is!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway - we're not going to be sending a lot of these out - but I thought it was probably time for a first one at least - with a few notes on updates on the site.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Firstly thanks to everyone who entered the competition for Movie Tickets - hopefully you all found Forbidden Lie$ interesting - it actually got a high rating from both Margaret and David on the ABC's Movie Show.&nbsp; Mind you, that happens so rarely I'm not too sure what to think of it.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We've updated a couple of new book entries recently as well - Kerry Greenwood's got a new entry in her Corinna Chapman series <a href="http://www.austcrimefiction.org/node/2967" rel="nofollow">Trick or Treat</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Dorothy Johnston also has a new book out - <a href="http://www.austcrimefiction.org/node/2958" rel="nofollow">Eden</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If anybody's looking for a great short story collection then definitely try out the Melbourne Sisters in Crime's anthology - <a href="http://www.austcrimefiction.org/node/2678" rel="nofollow">Scarlet Stiletto - The First Cut</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If anybody has any suggestions for great books that they have read recently - feel free to wander over to our <a href="http://www.austcrimefiction.org/forum/951" rel="nofollow">General Discussion Forum</a> and let the rest of us in on the secret!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
