I'm feeling a bit wobbly this month. I think it comes from having one foot on a remote island somewhere off the coast of Australia and one foot in a North Queensland swamp.

If you've read the last couple of G'days, you'll know that the island is where Jake, the hero of my new book Adults Only, lives. Adults Only is being printed at the moment, which is another reason I'm feeling wobbly. This is the time when I think of all those trees being turned into books and hope that people think my story's worth it. I think it is, and I'll know in a few weeks if everyone else does. Adults Only goes on sale on July 2nd. I've read it to a few trees and they seemed to like it.

My other foot is in a North Queensland swamp because I've started another story about Limpy the cane toad. If you've read Toad Rage, you'll remember how Limpy tried to become a Games mascot to save his family and friends from being squashed flat by humans. In Toad Heaven, the new story, Limpy has even bigger and more spectacular adventures to try and save his loved ones. I can't tell you much about the story yet because I'm still discovering it myself, but I'll keep you informed between now and November when Toad Heaven is published.

My roving webmaster and brother, Nick, is back chained to his computer, so there's a double dose of readers' emails in the Visitor's Book. If you emailed me during the last eight weeks or so, take a peek and see if yours was voted by me as one of the emails of the month(s). If, however, your email was asking questions for a project, and the information you requested isn't already here on the site, have a look at Morris's Most Asked Questions. You may find your questions newly answered. That includes you Annie, Sally, David, Ben, Courtney, Jonathan, Nesrene, Jenny, Stephanie and Cameron.

Finally, there are still some spaces in Canberra and Adelaide in my August Schools Visits Tour, so if you'd like to book me to visit your school, see the April G'day for details. I'll be doing more school visits in November, so schools from other places can get on that list now.

Until next month, oo-roo and happy reading,
