Hi all
Today is the day of my surgery. To say I'm scared is an understatement. Eye surgery is not something on my wish list. I might have a phobia about eyes. Oh well, I'll be aware but not in pain apparently.
I'll write again when I am post surgery and know what is going on so maybe the two week mark.
Giveaway
Robot Hearts, my short story collection give away. To enter you needed to tell me your favourite robot. I have multiple winners who received an ebook. Congratulations to Cee, Dianne, Lee Ellen, Yaakov, Lalita, Maria and Paul.
The Prudential Light Update
Last newsletter I shared the gorgeous cover of The Prudential Light. I'm so excited by this cover. As I'm having eye surgery today, I had to get a draft of the book finished so I could send to my beta readers. I achieved that goal on Sunday. It's a bit of a mess I think but hopefully enough for my beta readers to provide feedback. I'm still looking for an editors, as this one has a complicated structure and I really want to nail that. So while I'm recuperating, I'll be getting feedback so I can leap forward. If I am up for it, I'll start drafting Gentelman Magician.
Free books!
Ruby Heart is still free on my bookstore and I think Amazon are pricematching.
And on my bookstore.

Appearances
My partner Matthew Farrer (Black Library) and I will be guesting at Ozcomicon in Canberra this weekend. That went great. Matthew had a steady stream of people wanting to talk Black Library, even though he had no books to sell.
I'll be at Gamacon on 6 September in Canberra. Matthew will be my assistant as I may be vision impaired.
I'm also scheduled for Books and Beyond in Newcastle on 27 September.
I'll have a table at Conflux in Canberra on 4-5 October.
On 18 October I will have a table at the Steampunk Faire in Goulburn. Hopefully I would have sewn my bustle gown by then. I do need to start on that pattern.
And Newcastle Book Boyfriend on 22 November.
I wish you well and happy reading.
Regards
Donna/Dani
