Random Articles - RAW 150913

The weekend is almost over and I trust you have enjoyed it.  I spent too much time in the North Queensland sun at a pineapple festival, which included a pineapple pirate pantomime, quite bizarre.

Anyway, I'm still making my way through The Dinosaur Lords but am sorely tempted to put it aside to start on the new Carson Mach novel,The Terminal War which was released this weekend.  I've just recieved my copy but haven't started yet.  However I will go out on a limb and say it will be a good read.  Pick it up now from Amazon for 99 cents

Whatever you're doing this weekend I hope you are able to spent a few moments with your favourite beverage and a good read.  I've been enjoying my default brew this weekend, an espresso.  (pictured left).
