As luck would have it, the official release of Paving the New Road has been sandwiched between a bout of the flu (in which 3 of the 4 human members of my household ended up with pneumonia) and the wonderful Byron Bay Writers' Festival. Not only did thoughts of the latter help me survive the former, but the two have worked together to give me no time or energy to fret about the reception which this latest outing of Rowland Sinclair's might recieve. That doesn't mean of course that I do not have moments, between coughing and packing, to furrow my brow and hope people will like it. It just means I have things to do while I worry.
Regardless, on Friday I will be in Byron Bay... soaking up the creative atmosphere, catching up with old friends and colleagues like Jesse Blackadder, Shamini Flint, and John M. Green and hopefully making a whole lot of new ones. Oh.... and I'll speaking on a few panels too.
