Welcome to Cairns Media Magazine! New on the World Wide Web, we aim to deliver quality writing, plus photography to match, on topics of interest to avid readers.

By all means, look elsewhere for fast-breaking news. Here, we'll publish insightful features, biting editorials, short fiction, book reviews and letters to the editor.

Initially, we focus on the new book Island Toes A'Tapping, non-fiction probing the music scene on Prince Edward Island, Canada. The author, Jay Scott Kanes, also has two novels, High Degree of Atrocity (2004) and Dog-Gone Cat Case (2005).

With luck, Cairns Media Magazine should become a busy avenue for non-mainstream writers, who may rile arrogant people and rally the oppressed. Together, let's discover talented new wordsmiths and enjoy their work.

Please return to visit us again. You're always welcome here.
