Ferragost in Review of Australian Fiction


Review of Australian Fiction is an online journal that publishes short stories every two weeks by established and emerging Australian authors. RoAF invites an author to write a story, and then that author chooses an emerging author to be featured with them in an issue.

In the case of their upcoming issue (volume 3, issue 4), they invited Melina Marchetta and she chose Kirsty Eagar, the author of Raw Blue. Kirsty Eagar's story is called Molasses and set in the Australian city of Rockhampton. Melina Marchetta wrote a story called Ferragost, which is about Lady Celie, a character from the Lumatere Chronicles.

Volume 3, Issue 4 will be available on August 7 for purchase at the price of $2.99AUS on the Review of Australian Fiction's website, exclusively through Booki.sh. Accounts are free on Booki.sh, and it is the ONLY site where you'll be able to access issues of Review of Australian Fiction. RoAF's ebooks are DRM-free, though, and once you make a purchase, you can download it as an Epub file and you'll be able to convert it to whichever type of ebook format you need to.

If you have any questions, you can tweet Review of Australian Fiction @AustFicion or find their email contact info on their website. Thanks to the editor Matthew Lamb for providing all the info about Review of Australian Fiction and Booki.sh!

So while we wait for this exciting issue to be released, you can read an extract of Ferragost that Melina Marchetta posted here. It already sounds good! Be sure to add Ferragost to your GoodReads bookshelf and check back on 132 Minutes soon for an early review.

  1. I have a question though - will US readers be able to purchase this? Or we are out of luck?

    2. I guess I'll have to see, because I am not sure how I would get Australian dollars to pay for it.

  13. Embracing the latest technology to remain competitive, industrial design, you must offer their
    customers convenient and less time to process.
    For example, you can paint the match box or cover it with colorful paper and paste different photos on each side of the box and
    then paste the box on the cover. Yet not all small businesses are job creators but only those
    that are relatively young and expand rapidly during their early
    stages.

  15. I'm very into 80s new wave and italo and came across this sample. OMGPOP was founded in 2006, creating 35 other social games first on its own social network and then on Facebook and mobile platforms. She wrote songs for other musical groups, for instance The Pussycat Dolls, New Kids on the Block and for Britney Spears.
