Yesterday was the official publication day for Eating with My Mouth Open. Stock has been arriving in bookstores for a little while now, and it’s been incredibly exciting seeing pictures of it out in the wild.

On Sunday I went to 234 Collins Street (Dymocks) and found a larger-than-expected stack facing out on the biography shelf. Yesterday I received the most gorgeous flowers from commissioning editor (and angel) Harriet McInerney to mark the occasion. This evening, I’ll be launching the book into the world with family, friends and readers. I can’t wait to have a chat with the brilliant Brodie Lancaster, and to have the launch supported by Readings is such a Melbourne writers’ rite of passage.

I had two Q&As appear online yesterday – with thanks to both Booktopia and Annabel for inviting me:
