The Next Big Thing

Tweet

OK, I gave in and let myself be talked into doing another evil meme thing. This is part of The Next Big Thing series in which authors get to spruik their work in progress. Since I’m particularly excited about the current WIP, I jumped in with both feet. At the end, I’ll explain why [...]

Five Books That Changed My Life?

Tweet

Indie author Bryant Delafosse tagged me with one of those meme things. Well I think those meme things are evil and usually I don’t play. But, since I’m embarrassingly flattered to be tagged, and as I have been neglecting my bloggerly duties of late, I’m going to give this one a go.

The idea [...]

Guest Post – Advance Warning

Tweet

At the very end of this month, I’ll be posting a guest post from author Anna Harte as part of her “Above Ground” blog tour – to help launch her new book called, er, “Above Ground”. I thought you might like to know that the tour starts today (1 Nov) and runs throughout the [...]

This and That

Tweet

Yes, an inconsequential post. A mere update. The kind of thing for which the weblog was invented, but whose current home is on Facebook and Twitter where ideas are few and gibber rules the roost. But I’m in a nostalgical state of whimsy and the urge to talk trivia is upon me.

Why this [...]

Talking TimeSplash and Kindle at Patty Jansen’s Blog

Tweet

Just a very quick note to say you should pop over to Patty Jansen’s blog where I have a guest post about my experiences with the Kindle Select programme. Patty describes it as “a wild ride” and she’s absolutely right. See you over there.

I’m Featured Today on The Book Blather Blog

Tweet

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 [...]

Is This Goodbye?

Tweet

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 [...]

Welcome, Curious Blog Lovers!

Tweet

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 [...]

End of Year Report

Tweet 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 [...]

Christmas Wishes and 3 Christmas Gifts For You

Tweet

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.
