Take a protagonist you identify with strongly. Add a handful of your favourite ingredients: duality, fantasy, escapism, stereotypes, Italy, writing, literary pastiche, and black humour. Shake together viciously, and serve cold. Lady Oracle was a fabulously good read, one I finished barely minutes after the Sheilaroos' tragic exit from the World Cup.
Lessons learned:
1. Book sales are wonderful, if only to remind you of writers you'd always meant to read more of, but forgot.
2. Feel like writing again, and it's a good feeling.
3. Time to renew my membership at Bangalore's one and only online library.

Hello, your introduction and description, basically the "about me" needs to change. As your agent (to be..:)), my advice is that you change it and make it moe of today
Who or what is Sheilaroo?
So, you still secretly think England is going to win the world cup ?
1. Okay. (Never argue with Servicing!)
2. The Sheilaroos are the Australian football team. (Actually, they call themselves the Socceroos. The friendly English press call them the Sheilaroos.)
3. Of course I do. (But then, I also believe France will send Brazil home.)
France did send Brazil home.
