Amanda Lohrey’s slow burn intensity deserving recognised- she has won the Miles Franklin for The Labyrinth. It’s only the second time a Tasmanian has won- The Doubleman by Christopher Koch took the prize in 1985. abc.net.au/radio/programs…

I hope everyone is doing okay. It’s been a tough time here with two weeks of flu (2x Covid -ve) but this happened too - and it’s worth celebrating. Thanks to Ventura Press for this beautiful new b-format of #ParisSavages, cover design by Josh Durham (Design by Committee).

Have been feeling very anxious with family member testing positive a week ago and systems in overwhelm - was grateful to see this little fellow this afternoon. Absolutely didn’t think he’d make it up the steep bank. And super grateful our patient is doing well. Stay well everyone

Please show humanity too to asylum seekers who fled for their lives to Australia a decade ago and are still on temporary visas and separated from families - the policy is so cruel, yet these people have so much to offer #qanda

It was so good to talk books again - immersive, thought-provoking, other-worldly fiction and narrative nonfiction - with the very lovely Jonathan Butler, Jane Rawson and Robyn Mundy. Thanks Tamar Valley Writers Festival.

I am so touched by this act of kindness from Angela Savage - a handmade wallaby (complete with pouch) inspired by Paris Savages. It has hopped its way all the way to me in Tassie. Angela you are very clever and very kind. Thank you. 😊🙏 Ventura Press Cameron's Management
