1. Christmas Interview with Author Geoffrey McSkimming





What are you looking forward to this Christmas?

I'm looking forward to having Christmas with my wife (our first together married- we ran away to Scotland and tied the knot in a castle in October) and the delicious plum pudding she's just made, and to being happy.

Tell us about your year of writing, book launches, school visits, etc.

2012 has been a great year, with my 21st book, Phyllis Wong and the Forgotten Secrets of Mr Okyto, being published by Allen & Unwin and much promotional work for that, including magic performed by Sue-Anne Webster as Phyllis Wong would perform it!
What does Christmas mean to you?
Christmas means a time to take stock and to be thankful for what I have and for the chance to be able to write my stories and live peacefully.
What’s on your Christmas menu?
Christmas menu: Everything home-cooked: chicken, ham, plum pudding, fruit cake and loads of delicious fresh fruit and lots of chocolate and some fine malt whiskies I brought back from Scotland :-)

I wanted to be a magician, a ventriloquist, a puppeteer when I was in primary school. Then when I was in high school I wanted to be an actor and I went to Uni and after that I worked for five years as an actor--a long time ago. I was a very bad actor (once during a performance of Macbeth in Brisbane I fell off the stage into a tuba and got stuck for several hours!). I stopped being an actor, got a "normal" job and went to Egypt for a holiday. I got sunstroke in the Valley of the Kings, got better, came back to Australia and wrote the first Cairo Jim 0 Comments on Interview with Author Geoffrey McSkimming as of 7/23/2012 2:16:00 AM
