The sun’s shining. I saw a seal or dolphin splashing about in the Maribyrnong River this morning. It’s the first day of spring and I’ve been smelling jasmine in the local laneways for days now, even through the fabric of my facemask. And it’s publication day. Yippee! Broken Rules is officially released.

Bravo Barry!! Love the way your hand mimicks the illustration on the front cover. So many congratulations – at last!!
Here at last, yes. But I’ve really enjoyed the build up.
Well done Barry. That dolphin augurs well. Just basking in your glory.
It was so nice of the dolphin to turn up. They sure know how to mark an occasion.
Congratulations đź‘Ź

Congratulations to Barry on yesterday’s official release of Broken Rules. Definitely a cause for celebration. That dolphin had the right idea.
We’ll post some info on an upcoming online launch event shortly.
Thanks for reblogging, EW. If only we were meeting in person next Tuesday. I feel sure we’d be having a cake.
Congratulations!!!!
Thanks, Geri.
