Dear msvictrola,

My lovely volumes and I thank you for the compliment!

I've been horribly busy and as a result, too exhausted for more
than having a nice meal and falling into bed with a book. I'm very
behind on all things Virago and LT! A warm welcome; however, to our wonderful VMC group and
I look forward to catching up!!

Kind regards,
Cate

No, I didn't study the course at RMIT. I've taught several of the units elsewhere, and I work in publishing.

Dear MsVictrola - I forgot to add that one of our guests is John Dalton who is the HObart based techie for librarything - he has agreed to give a session enlarging on this wonderful online system. Like you I only recently discovered it; via an interview Ramona Koval did with the founder on her book show. Again, hope you respond. AA

Hello Ms Vitrola - I see you are from Melbourne - anywhere close to Williamstown?
I also see we share some literary interests including VWoolf; if you live in the metro area you may be intersted in an annual writers fest we organise to be held first weekend in May. There is more on www.willylitfest.org.au.
Kate Holden is one of our guests and I must say her book and its subject was not something I am usually drawn to but she spoke at a State Library summer reading series and was so engrossing and inspiring I had to buy her memoir and found it thoroughly engrossing although I am a bit squeamish and found myself gasping at the explicitness of some scenes. Hope you write back.
willylitfest. (Angela)
