Almost Finished | 

I've been head down putting the finishing touches to three books that will surface before the end of 2011. I've helped Mark Evans, formerly of AC/DC, with his memoir Dirty Deeds, which drops in August thru Allen & Unwin. Then in September my co-write with Kasey Chambers, entitled A Little Bird Told Me, is released by Harper Collins. And finally, in November, my Marc Hunter biography appears, thru Hardie Grant. Lively times.

Kasey's book, which is an amazing story (if I do say so myself) has been chosen for the '50 Books You Can't Put Down' list, which is part of the annual Get Reading! campaign. Kasey is one of the campaign's ambassadors, along with footballer Benji Marshall, actor / writer Brendan Cowell and the queen of sailing, Jessica Watson.
