My new book 'Hamlet is Not OK' goes on sale this week. I recorded two chapters as a bonus episode to promote this event. I hope you enjoy it.Here's what it says about 'Hamlet is Not OK' on the back of the book...Selby hates homework. She would rather watch TV - anything to escape the tedium of school, her parent's bookshop and small-town busybodies. So Selby didn't plan to read Hamlet. She certainly never planned to meet him.Hamlet, the much-maligned miseryguts, is seen here with the empathy of a modern teenager's gaze. With warmth, brilliant banter, deadpan humour and, well, dead people. R.A. Spratt brings her trademark wit to Shakespeare's famous play.If you want to read the rest, it's available at all book shops in Australia or your favourite online book seller.   Here's a link for amazon.com.au...https://amzn.asia/d/dcv6vLMThere is also an audiobook available from Audible or where ever else you like to buy audiobooks.
