Having a book on the Gold Inkys shortlist is a gift that just keeps on giving. You can find an extract from Act of Faith in The Age and other Fairfax papers this week as part of the Summer Reading series – and you can read extracts from the other sensational shortlisted titles too.

Meanwhile, I’m on holidays by the beach in New Zealand, trying not to work on the other books in the series. But I can’t help it.
