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, [...]
Before I go on, let me just squee* for a moment. The second edition of my time travel thriller, TimeSplash, is out today (on Smashwords – out tomorrow on Amazon), It has had a bit of an overhaul, too: new cover, slight re-edit, and two new ISBNs. That’s it, on the left of this [...]
It is a sad and terrible indictment of the society in which we live that a woman like Yasmin McKillop might die because she can’t afford the surgery that could save her life. Yasmin is a young woman, a nurse who cares for old people at my local hospital. She’s one of those lovely [...]
Tales of Post-Apocalyptic Love
Remember me mentioning some upcoming anthologies with stories of mine in them? Well, one is out today. So shoot over to Amazon and grab your copy. All proceeds to to help Queensland flood victims. These guys lost a lot and are still suffering, so if you’re feeling charitable, this [...]
Yes, it’s that time of year again. For the many people who weren’t around on May 4th 2008 when I posted my first “hello world” from my brand new writing blog – that is, all of you – May 4th 2008 is the date from which I reckon my writing career began. So as [...]
If you are reading this, the chances are about four to one that it is because I am a finalist in the Sydney Writers Centre, Best Australian Blogs, 2011, Competition. That’s what my site stats tell me, anyway. Believe me, I’m as amazed as you are to find my blog has made it so [...]
Yes, it’s Read an eBook Week again. And for all you folks who would love to read some ebooks but can’t bring yourself to part with a dollar or two to buy them (you know who you are), now’s your chance to get them at reduced prices or even free at Smashwords.
I don’t [...]

Campaigns The Yasmin McKillop Appeal
Yasmin is a lovely young woman who has a brain tumour and needs $60,000 for an operation that could save her. She doesn't have the money and her sister has started an appeal. Please visit the appeal's Facebook page and give what you can.
