My first ever blog post...

In a few weeks I'll be off to meet all my fans down under and suck out their brains in an orgy of bloody violence... ahem, actually like I'll be signing books and doing press interviews and stuff.

This site will have pictures and stuff from the tour. Unless the tour is really boring, or I get fed up with the blog idea and can't be bothered (Have you ever noticed how 98% of blogs last less than one week).

For a full schedule of the Australian events go to the PDF link thingy on the right.

The NZ events aren't confirmed yet but should be very soon.

Now I'm off out to the shops to find the cheapest place to buy five litres of wombat repellant.

HA BLOG COMMENT VIRGINITY.

I feel speshal.

Enjoy your time down under, Rob, but be sure to take your corked hat - I hear they're ferocious to non-natives down there.

Corked hats are terrible, They hardly work and they make you look like a tw#t.

excuse me.....im from australia and you dont need wombat repellent or a corked hat...we arent that odd besides only odd people from the country as in flinders rangers which is dry as we are in a drought wear those hats, the corks are only for the flys if you have been camping.sunblock is a good idea though it does get pretty hot but i would actually recomend a couple of t shirts shorts jeans and a nice waaaaarrm jacket for adelaide and melbourne it gets really cold and its going to be winter and the start of spring when you are here.
Hope you use my advice
(p.s shorts,tshirts,shirts,jeans,warm jacket,sandals,boots,sandshoes-my suggestions REMEMBER THEM)
p.p.s im a kid/teen so my name is ok cos of my age)

i agree with charlie(?) please keep writing...i dont care if james and lauren get old and grey just keep writing....glad you are coming to australia make sure you visit adelaide he...he...he nah just go see the sights and if you like camping and you have free time go to the flinders rangers north of adelaide, adelaide is the fastest way to ge there. and dont be fooled by the maps. someone i know came her and thought that everything was close and asked if we could pick her up from melbourne even though that is an eight hour drive from adealide. adelaide is also the closest big city to perth and thats a 2 and a half hour flight....have a great time

My daughters English class is reading your novel. Thank you for writing the first book that she has read all the way through then wanted to read more. The whole class hoped to meet you but all local events are fully booked. Have fun "down under". Don't forget the ointment for "roo poo fungus.......

Anyways, I go to Moreton Bay College, and I'm excited to see you. You see, I like your books so much that I'm missing out a Sunday to get it signed.

By thongs, people mean flip-flops. We don't want to see any thongs, really.
Can't wait!

The wombats totally like to charge at passing British authors.

And we all live in the outback and ride Kangaroos.
