Isobelle has sent us over a very special treat; the entire front and back cover of Book Six of the Obernewtyn Chronicles - The Sending, due to be released later this year.
With permission and thanks to the ABC's Off the Shelf program, we'd like to draw attention to Isobelle Carmody audio / interview from 2009, where she discusses which books she turns to for inspiration.
On Thursday 5th August 2010, Isobelle spoke at the Queenscliff Hotel as part of her The Red Wind release tour.
In the lead up to the release of The Sending sometime in September, the Obernet Book Club is hosting a joint re-reading of the Obernewtyn Chronicles.
An extraordinary thing posted on Facebook to make everyone's day!
We've just heard from Collins Booksellers Bendigo manager and Obernetter Ethereal that Isobelle will be speaking at her store (or at the library - the only detail left to be confirmed) on the 6th August 2011 at midday.
There was a wonderful interview posted today on TLC Book's blog, which they've given us permission to post in our Interview archives here: TLC Books Interview with Isobelle Carmody.
This week, the CBCA (Children's Book Council of Australia) released their shortlist for the upcoming CBCA Book of the year.
For the past couple of weeks we've been running a competition to win one of two Wilful Eye prize packs - containing a single day-pass to this Saturday's Melbourne Supanova, and a copy of Isobelle & Nan McNab's collaborative short-story collection that she'll be launching this weekend, The Wilful Eye.
