Then very reassuring were the various reviews that have appeared in the Melbourne Age, the Sydney Morning Herald, and the Canberra Times, a most enthusiastic syndicated review by Kerryn Goldsworthy in her 'Picks of the Week' column for the Fairfax Press. But the following weekend brought a full-scale review of the book by Peter Pierce, published in the Canberra Times' weekend magazine, Panorama on December 14. It was a review to bring joy to the heart of any writer - it certainly did to mine. Check out the 'Reviews' section on this web site (under the Passion Play icon on the 'Her books' page): these reviews should be posted there very shortly, also another most heart-warming one from the latest issue of The Write Angle.

Add to these a few competition wins, several radio interviews and some published poems, and you'll see why I'm feeling good about the end of year events.
