Review from FNQ
Bev Blaauw's review of The Promise of Iceland has appeared in The Cairns Post. Her review includes these comments:
Kari’s descriptions of Iceland are so beautiful that one is tempted to pack up and go there. He makes the long, dark winters sound just as enticing as the extraordinary Northern Lights. Each time Kari returns to Iceland he finds new ways of viewing life.
Finally, Kari meets his family, stops blaming his father and learns to live as an Icelander in Iceland, before returning to Brisbane to write so eloquently about his other home.

A Little More Zambia
A piece I wrote about my recent journey to Zambia, a trip I've also discussed at some length on this blog, has appeared in the Escape lift-out of the Sunday News Ltd papers. It is also available on The Australian's website here.
And, further, my "Letter from Zambia" has been published in the Dec 2011 - Jan 2012 edition of WQ Magazine, a publication of the Queensland Writers Centre.
