The Down Under Tour

A number of bloggers are taking part in a One Shot World Tour highlighting authors from Australia and New Zealand. In years past, I've noticed a number of good authors from that part of the world, including:

Judith Clarke. I liked her The Heroic Life of Al Capsella.

Maurice Gee. I was a big fan of The Fat Man.

Paul Jennings. His short story collections, such as Uncanny and Unreal, were fascinating to me when I first came upon them because they made no attempt at being what kids should be reading. I don't know if I'd feel the same way about them now, but that impressed me back then.
