Hi Victoria. I’m looking forward to meeting you too – make sure you come and say hi after my session on Australian immigrant stories, on the Saturday. The Saturday program looks really strong for Australian historical fiction, with a session on colonial encounters as well, with Lucy Treloar and Nicole Alexander. All of the sessions will provide something of interest, though, I’m sure. And half the fun of the conference is meeting other like minds. I hope you have a great time there. Cheers – Kim

Hi Kim,
I look forward to meeting you at the HNSA in Melbourne. It will be my first conference of Australian historical authors so I’m not sure what to expect. As you write about Western Australia, and that’s my sphere too, I wonder if you could/would give me a few clues as to whose talks I might find most helpful. I’m not interested in the fantasy or European style that seems to be so common in this genre.
Many thanks
