I'm really pleased that so many people have accepted the Adelaide and Melbourne invitations emailed or posted out - and I'd be delighted to hear from anyone else who would like to come. Just contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Next week Canberra and then Brisbane invitations will be sent. Final proof reading is over - always demoralising when you look at the final product and feel a sense of utter inadequacy. What do I think I'm doing, publishing this?? Cover - vivid and eye-catching (publisher's term for it is 'edgy') - has been approved and all the front and back cover comments checked. I really like Doreen Rosenthal's front cover line: 'A riveting read as the travellers tell their stories, with no shortage of the seven deadly sins' I hope that's going to intrigue prospective readers! So, two and a half weeks and 'Passion Play - the Oberammergau Tales' is launched upon the world.
