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 [...]
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 [...]
Our Twitter profiles provide a number of curious facts about us. In particular they give the following four figures:
Tweets: the number of tweets we have made since we started tweeting. I quite often look at that number when I’m considering whether to follow someone. If it is very high, I give [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I have a secret identity. No, I’m not going to reveal it. What part of “secret identity” did you not understand? Only four people in the world know it, and two of those found out because I accidentally signed the wrong name on my communications with them! Keeping track of who you are can [...]
Three's a good start.
(This review first appeared in the New York Journal of Books on 15th September 2010)
Danbert Nobacon, whose penname seems to be derived from an old knock-knock joke, is best known for his part in the rock band Chumbawamba. (“I get knocked down, then I get up again.” Yes, [...]
Just a quick note to let you know I have been interviewed by the lovely A.M. Harte on her quillsandzebras blog. Anyone who has read my book, TimeSplash, may wonder what is the only thing that my uber-villain, Sniper, and I have in common. Well, the answer is… just a click away at quillsandzebras.

I hope my favourite sci-fi newsletter, Ansible, won’t mind if I reproduce the following paragraph verbatim. Not only is this matter one that outrages me, but Ansible’s treatment of it is just brilliant. Anyway, enjoy:
Peter Watts, Canadian sf author beaten up and pepper-sprayed by a US border guard in December (see A270), was [...]
What do you do when you’re trying to build a career as a science fiction writer and you suddenly go nuts and write a children’s book? I’m sure we’ve all done it. Right in the middle of writing your latest high-energy space opera, your brain goes on the fritz and out pours a Rgency [...]
