Australian writer John Marsden, author of Tomorrow series, dies aged 74 Marsden, a world-renowned author of children's and young adult fiction, wrote the beloved adventure novel Tomorrow, When the War Began.

The Tomorrow When the War Began is one of my all time favorite films. Haven’t been able to see the TV series in the UK but have read all the books - John leaves a legacy of good stories.

Jaguar unveils much-hyped electric car after online leak Early online reaction suggests the concept car might appear more familiar to fans of Barbie or the Pink Panther than traditional Jag owners

I remember the intense discussion when then XJ220 came out. This new all electric direction is similar in embracing a new era and is welcome. I sadly won’t be able to afford one 😥
