Tweet I know I was a teensy bit snarky about how long it took to get here, but I hope you’ll agree the wait was worth it. [drum roll] Ladies and Gentlemen (and anyone else who’s reading this), I give you the cover art for Timesplash and True Path. Click to enlarge My [...] Tweet Yes, this is it. The Timesplash sequel, True Path, is finally available for pre-order (from Amazon and iTunes). And this is what it looks like: True Path: radical cover design The cover design struck me as pretty “out there” when I first saw it but it’s growing on me. What’s more, the designer [...] Tweet I just spent a huge amount of time, stress, and money attending a spec. fic. writing convention, Conflux 9. It was a bugger to get to (ten hours travelling each way), hugely expensive (about $2,000 all found) and most of the panels I attended were either boring or frustrating (I need a placard that [...] Tweet 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 [...] Tweet I’ve just been thinking about all the technical “revolutions” I’ve lived through and, indeed, had an active part in. The first was the personal computer revolution. This happened – to me – in the late 1970s. As a psychology undergrad, I studied computing, just for fun. I learned programming in PDP8 assembler then went [...] Tweet He was better than average too. I came across the Duning-Kruger effect in a series of tweets by an amusing fellow called @GodlessAtheist who argued that it is the reason why religious people are so smug. I don’t doubt that this is true. (Have you ever heard a religious type arguing any scientific [...] Tweet 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? Because I just [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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”.
