    Bit gobsmacked haven’t seen ‘Tony Park’ in any of the first 4 heats. A fabulous Australian author who writes African novels and is more popular in South Africa than Wilbur Smith. Hopefully he will appear in heat 5?
    We didn’t know the nominations were open so unfortunately didn’t get a chance to put his name up for consideration.

    Is the Kim Willkins listed actually the amazing Aussie author Kim Wilkins, but misspelt? Or is it a different author? Need to know for voting purposes please!
