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.

Two people in a struggle [...] Tweet On 31st October 2011, according to the UN, the world’s population reached 7 billion. They may be wrong. These things are hard to estimate.

Apart from the tragic news that people still [...] 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 People who come here often may remember my definition of science fiction, viz. Science fiction is a genre in which it is considered true that only reason and the assumption that the physical world is the only one that exists, can explain the universe, and in which the story typically but not necessarily, features [...] 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 [...] |
