Contributor copies of Miscellaneous Voices: Australian Blog Writing #1 are now making their way across the country and globe, as are the first of the pre-orders. Some blog posts have been written about those who’ve received them: such as Lead Igloo, Maekitso’s Cafe (you can win his copy if you enter his competition by writing a Ghazal), 10% Fiction, Alan Baxter’s The Word – According to Me.

These are the ones that I know of so far – if there are any more, please tell me!

Speaking of contributors to Misc. Voices, one needs your help. In a week where the state of health care has been debated (or talked around, depending on your point of view) in our country, there are people who find themselves within the system, often without comforts, relying on services and staff already stretched to the limit. Tiffany has gone through the unimaginable over the years, and has now taken it upon herself to raise some money to alleviate the discomfort parents and carers often go through when staying with their children, and for the nurses, who are truly unsung heroes, in my mind.

If you’d like to read some more, here is Tiff’s post. And if you click on the below button, you’ll be taken to a place where you can make a donation.
