English born Aussie author... Bowvayne.
He has to have a different name.
Suspect that Bowvayne is a pen name.
We shall see...
Illustrated by the magnanimous Alan Snow.
First part in The misadventures of Danny Cloke.

When Danny Cloke writes to his
favourite author, he doesn't
think he'll end up bargaining
with a ghost!

But Cyril Spectre turns out to
be a spirit with mighty powers,
and he's happy to take revenge
on Danny's real-life, twenty-
first-century wicked stepmother
for all the dreadful things she's
made him do, like eating fried-hair
sandwiches and cleaning up after
her vicious pet hyenda, cuddles.

Danny's desperate to stop awful
Aunt Mildred, but Cyril's wild
magic comes at a price. Too late,
Danny realizes what it means to
take a turn in the grave.

Battle of the branches...
Alter-Daffey here, complaining about the so called "Christmas tradition" that the media keep forcing down our throats... that TURKEY is eaten by everyone in Australia at Christmas.
It is NOT true!
ARGH!
Have got one more shift (tomorrow).
(Hopefully Anti-Daffey will be gone!)
Shut up Daffey!
Had Brooke over last night, as her Jozilla refused to take her shopping because of da da dahhhh : head lice.
Poor kid had lice shampoo in her hair.
She had Santa photo's taken yesterday.
Heh he he.
I betcha poor old Santa is infested, and in turn has spread it to all the other little darlings.
There's another thing!
Why do we have Santa bloody Claus prancing around in hot suits in Summer?
It's bloody hot!
Englishmen and mad dogs...
Also had Adam over this morning while Melody went to do the last bit of Christmas shopping... and he played Katamari damacy while I went and watched the first episode of DNA angel.
Here in most of it's glory is an e-mail from Sharon regarding the reading club... (edited by yours truly)

Friends, Romans, P library staff

Lend me your ears - it has come to my attention that E staff are catching up to us - only 7 behind in the SRP.

I have shedded blood, sweat and tears to get us 15 in front as at 2pm when I left the building for the start of the festive season.

I implore you that

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Penno, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our library, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the carparks, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this library or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by Sue H & Penno staff, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, Penno, with all it's power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the borrowers.

Fly the flag!!!!!!!

Sharon

Go for it Sharon!
Although I can't say that I am a member of Penno (?yet or forever to be a casual?) your message has inspired me to hassle every parent and child that I come across tonight in the library.
Hah ha!
(I'm joking people! I wouldn't REALLY do that... would I?)
