It’s not long until Preincarnate, Shaun’s first novel, hits the shelves. The Age have an article about it, but as Tony Martin pointed out on his Twitter – they don’t once state the title correctly. Good news is he is no shrinking violet – we can expect to see Shaun everywhere over the next little-while, including the season final of Offspring. If you are expecting another New Years show, afraid you’ll be disappointed this year.
‟Whenever I want to look myself up on the internet, I come to this site. Fast, comprehensive and good deal fewer spelling mistakes than [the other one].” - Shaun Micallef
The book just keeps sounding more and more magical.
Fantastic to hear Newstopia is still being thought of!
I also read an article recently in which Shaun was credited as one of the creators of Thank God You’re Here-he really is a genius.
Shaun will also be on The Circle tomorrow at 10am, as he has several things to plug

Sounds about right
MY esteemed colleague Kerrie Murphy once encapsulated the reactions that Shaun Micallef tends to provoke. “Those who don’t like his use of non sequiturs, obscure cultural references and word play tend to hate his work,” she wrote. “Those who like his work (and I am one of them) love him with such passion that they would probably help him hide a dead body, no questions asked, if he phoned.” For what it’s worth, Strewth keeps a shovel handy, just in case. In the meantime, we’re over the moon to know Micallef has a book coming out. We even imagine there are more than a few Fairfax readers who fall into the same boat. If you know any, please let them know the book is called Preincarnate — A Novella and not Preincarnation, as they were repeatedly assured yesterday. You never know; this could save them a minute or so in the bookshop, and time is money.
