Peter, I have no plans to publish "The Point of Roses" in Australia at present. Doesn't mean it won't happen, but I'll let the UK edition be the only place people can see it for a little while longer.
Thanks, Trent and Dave and Justine. Justine, I think the first print run was 5000 copies, because they alerted me when the 4000 mark was passed.
I'm just finishing BLACK JUICE. Remarkable writing, congratulations. The vividness of the little worlds you conjure remind me of the effect Ray Bradbury once used to have on me. I'll be seeking out more
I write fiction. My latest novel is Sea Hearts, published by Allen & Unwin in Australia—this novel is published as The Brides of Rollrock Island by David Fickling Books and Jonathan Cape in the UK, and by Knopf in the US, and will soon come out as Seeherzen from Rowohlt in Germany. I've also written Tender Morsels and five short story collections: White Time, Black Juice, Red Spikes, Yellowcake and Cracklescape.

Brilliant! Congrats.
In the spirit of continuing to bug you on your blog, may I ask whether Australian readers are going to get to read that bonus story at any time soon?
Very cool! Congrats, Margo.

Jonathan: Absolutely. :)
I'm not surprised. I read your book last week and enjoyed it very much - not this version though, the Australian one. Thanks for great reading.
Thank you, Joh - I'm glad you enjoyed the stories.
Maybe I'll get the UK edition then ;)
Or just wait patiently, there is always that...
I hope the reprinting is a sign of even greater things to come.
