During the #SydneyWritersFestival this year, I sat waiting for a session and someone joined me. Her name was Alicia Thompson and she worked out I was gay and pimped her book to me.

It turned out we were both with the same US based publisher and the novel she's holding is promoted in the back of the novel I'm holding.

This was her sneaky publicity pic at #SapphoBooks where we met for lunch yesterday.
