And the man responsible for some of the very first books I ever read on my own. The man who partnered with Morris Glietzman to give us the Wicked series. The mastermind who brought us that awesome show Round the Twist.

Anyway, I was feeling like a failure of a creative writing student until one day in class we were discussing Aussie authors and it hit me: Not sure what I mean? You need to click here and here. Truth be told, I only bought the book so that I could get another Rose & Dimitri fix. The only one that came to mind for ages was the Foretold anthology which featured the talents of Richelle Mead, Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl, and Meg Cabot, among others. It doesn’t matter how different the stories are, it’s just what I’ve always done.Īs I started my Holiday in Cambodia I tried to remember if I had read any short stories besides the ones given to me by my uni tutors. I always try to find links between each story and try and piece together a larger novel from the snapshots given to me by the author. But in anthologies? I get hopelessly confused. My attention span is all off for short stories. I don’t do crime or horror or sci-fi ( Doctor Who excepted) or romance, even though I adore my ships (Will & Tessa & Jem, for example). I am a fantasy/magical realism/YA/historical fiction reader. Holiday in Cambodia – Laura Jean McKayġ4.
