Z Allora!!!

Awesome Author & Fantastic Books

I First fell in love with the work of Z Allora when the wonderful Kris Jacen, of MLRPress shared with us a snippet of an up and coming new author. I was lucky enough to win her book The Dark Angels: With Wings at Ethan Day's - GAY DAY not long afterwards, and I can tell you I have read it so many time since then I can honestly class the boys in the band as family.

I think the way these books are written are just suck you in, and makes you want to cheer along in the happy times and grab the tissues and offer your arms to hold them in the sad times. So often in this book I wanted to reach through the pages and offer them all my support and love - That is what made this a great book for me.

Since then I have left some reviews telling people how much I love this book, and I may have harassed poor Kris a time or two asking when the next one was coming. One day I clicked into my emails and I actually had a message from the author... after I finished jumping around the room dancing like a maniac with excitement.; I calmed down and answered Z... I was still in shock that Z Allora had messaged me (I may have rung my daughter and husband letting them know that I was snoopy dancing over this - it was the kind of excitement where you nearly pee yourself.) 

Since then Z and I have been corresponding and are fast becoming friends which to me is the best part in all of this. I have always enjoyed making new friends and I know that Z and I will stay in contact... It is great having someone who I really admire that I can share ideas with and ask advice.

Funniest thing - Had to share

City Council Anthem - Every Day I'm Shovelling!!!

  This just proved what a little imagination, a great song and some very creative children can do - they chose to make this very funny video of the city councils - suits so much of Australia. These kids made this video instead of going away to party at Schoolies. (huge end of year drunk-fest for school leavers - though I should add that not all schoolies get drunk, there are a variety of other entertainment organised for them as well.)

Cherie Noel!!!

  My dear friend Cherie Noel has two lovely and brilliant Christmas short stories so I am going to give you the details now so that you can go and check them out for yourself.

CHRISTMAS RUM BALLS: available at Sliver Publishing - December 10th.

Christmas Rum Balls Blurb:

Santa Neil in leather, elf Tony in a sock;

Watch naughty Kevin, falling like a rock.

He’s off the nice list—coal city’s straight ahead,

‘Til a miracle’s made with wrist restraints, a bow and Rum Balls in their bed.

Santa Neil and Elf Tony have a problem. Their wayward boy Kevin, fallen off the nice list and headed straight for coal-in-the-stocking-city, is hauling around a truckload of unnecessary guilt.

Together, they mix up a brand new recipe for Christmas fun, complete with Santa Neil in leather, Elf Tony in a smile and a strategically placed sock, and of course, some delicious Christmas Rum Balls. Their bring the big day early, but one question still remains…Can they entice Naughty Kevin to release his burden and open his sweet self to the Christmas spirit all around him?

  CUDDLE TIME CHICKEN SOUP: available at MLRPress - December 12th.

Cuddle Time Chicken Soup Blurb: 

Life’s rocky road comes wrapped in black ice at Christmas, so make sure your emergency kit comes equipped with a jumbo thermos of Cuddle Time Chicken Soup to keep you warm while you wait for rescue from the emotional wreckage of spinning out on repressed emotion.

Just when Christie Collins thinks he’s finally found a smooth stretch on life’s rocky road, watched over by his very own hot-bodied State Trooper, he’s slip-sliding away on the black ice of tragic memories. While reaching for the hope he sees in the twinkle of Christmas lights Christie takes eyes from the road for one critical moment, and is blindsided by the past. Spinning out of control, wrecked by devastating loss of yet another friend, will Christie’s trusty first responder have time to find him before their love dies of injuries sustained in the emotional crash or will it be too late for even the near-miraculous healing and warming powers of Cuddle Time Chicken Soup to set things right again?
