When I was considering signing with Momentum, I had a poke around to see what else they’d published. I immediately found several books I wanted to read (a very good sign) and one of those was Aurora:Darwin by Amanda Bridgeman. A distress signal from the edge of inhabited space? Two people in a struggle [...]

Ever heard of Momentum? Possibly not, it is the new(ish) digital-only imprint of Pan Macmillan Australia. Pan Macmillan, you have definitely heard of, I assume, as it is the fourth largest of the collection of publishers formerly known as The Big Six. And why am I rambling on about Momentum?

Aaaarghhh! Tagged! I usually avoid these meme things like the plague they are, but when Meryl asks, how can a guy say no? Also, she caught me just after I’d finished revising my latest novel, and I’m dying to tell people about it.

As you may know, I live out in the Boondocks, the sticks, Woop Woop (or pick your own quaint phrase meaning “the middle of nowhere”). The main industries here are fruit growing and wine making. They play country and western musak in the local supermarket and the churches outnumber the pubs about twenty to [...]

Sunshine is inimical to writing. The grass grows and has to be cut. The weeds grow and have to be killed. The fruit grows and has to be coddled like a baby. The dog staggers to the shadows, and drops. That seat among the tress beckons like a favourite vice. You take your laptop [...]

Interviews are clearly like buses: you wait ages for one and then two turn up at the same time. That’s what happened today.
An Interview with Alaskan Bookie
You will remember the Alaskan Bookie site recently gave my time travel thriller, TimeSplash, a five-star review. Well, afterwards, Dorothy, who runs the site, asked me [...]

I’ve been looking forward to this launch, partly because the book contains some of my favourite Australian SFF writers, partly because the whole point of the book is to raise awareness of suicide, and partly because it contains the first story of mine ever to be published that features one of my favourite creations, [...]
