This is just too hilarious.
It’s only taken me two-score plus years, sagging jowls and two bags of cellulite on each thigh to achieve this. Thank God I didn’t write any books on bikini-wearing or nudist colonies, let me just say that.
I must also say that during our family’s repatriation to Australia, amongst the expected stress of it all – I’ve had an enormous fear that my book success in the Jing – that incredible, supportive literary wave I’d been surfing – would die down rapidly to a mere ripple and lap meagrely against the shore, and that I would plop face-down in the sand never to rise again.
Thanks to the wonderful people at Canberra City News, I can now leap about on my metaphorical surfboard (saddle bags cannot stop me! jowls be damned!) in delight and shock that this would happen.
Fear-of-wave-fading rapidly subsiding.
Covergirl.
Me?
Too crazy.
Too hilarious!
But if having my mug on a mag cover will plug these Beijing publications that are so close to my heart, I’m happy to live the covergirl facade.
Australia – here I come! Lucky we have some big waves here...
