Courtesy of the very kind Marilee Brothers, I had the chance to blather about the three-ring circus we call publishing on her most excellent blog. If you’re interested in what I think about small publishers, self-publishing, and the Big Six, you should hop over there. If not, you should go there anyway as there [...]
Ah well, better luck next time.
After all, it’s the Rapture tomorrow. This could be the last anyone hears from me. Which gives me such a cool idea. What if I just disappear tomorrow – take no luggage, no credit cards, leave no note, just vanish. I could then sit on a beach [...]
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 [...]
In preparation for their forthcoming sci-fi anthology, In Situ, Dagan Books has begun posting interviews with the contributing authors. And today, it’s my turn.
The idea behind In Situ is a good one. It is an anthology of science fiction tales about alien excavations, weird archaeology, and the unearthing of mysteries. As an avid [...]
Happy New Year everybody!
First off, thanks to everyone who took advantage of my publisher’s Holiday Special and snagged a cheap copy of TimeSplash. Astute shoppers will notice that the offer has now closed. Personally, I’d like to keep the price that low all year round but it’s not up to me. Instead, I [...]
This is probably my last post before Christmas, so let me wish you all a great one. I love Christmas and I love having my family here for the celebrations, so I’ll be having a good time. I’ve also lined up my Christmas reading – for all the quiet time that never quite materialises.

First there were blogs. Then there were RSS feeds. Then there were feed readers. Now, there is Paper.li!
Never heard of it? Well, it hasn’t been around long, and you’d prbably have to be into Twitter to notice it. If you are, you’ve probably seen tweets saying “The Fred Bloggs Daily is out now!”, [...]
I’ve just been reading a blog post by Mike Brotherton which presents (yet another) definition of science fiction. This is Mike’s suggestion:
“Science fiction is a kind of story in which science or technology plays a central role, both in terms of plot and theme, and the science or technology elements are beyond our [...]
Well, I feel I am no longer a sci-fi novice. I’m just home from the World Science Fiction Convention, WorldCon 68, and I have the post-con exhaustion to prove it. I met up with my old Orbiteer buddies (the guys who started all this for me) and got the outstanding news that yet another [...]

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.
Books I Recommend I have put together a set of books which are, in my view, the best sci-fi ever written. If you want to know my taste in sci-fi, or if you’re interested in expanding your own collection, go and take a look.
Find my favourite Science Fiction Masterpieces on my Amazon store.
