Ahoy there!
It's been quite a while since I wrote - sorry about that.
But I've been in the process of moving house, and countries, from beautiful Waiheke Island near Auckland, to equally beautiful Warrandyte in Melbourne. To everyone I've met at all the schools and libraries in Auckland over the past year, don't worry: I'll be back for the Storylines festival in June.
It's taken quite a while to get myself sorted out, but now I finally have an internet connection and a house to live in, I can blog more often.
The newsflash from here is that The Silver Swan, the third book in the Swashbuckler trilogy, is published next month - April - in New Zealand and Australia.
Not long now...
