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 [...]

Dammit! Cons Really Work.

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 [...]

Sidekicks! Why Should the Heroes Get All The Attention?

Tweet

Y’all may remember, some time last year, I had an essay about world-building published by Alliteration Ink in a collection of essays about world-building called “Eighth Day Genesis: A Worldbuilding Codex“. Well, the good folk at AInk do all kinds of other books and have been putting out some great spec. fic. anthologies of [...]

Interviewed by the Gold Coast Speckies

Tweet

Just a quick note to let you know I was interviewed by a local writers’ group: The Gold Coast Speckies and that interview is up on their site today. The GCS is a fun and active bunch and the interview reflects their slightly off-beat approach. I enjoyed doing it and it presented a few [...]

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 [...]

Evolution and Space

Tweet

I have a new short story out as a “single” on Amazon. It’s called “Finding the Future” and it’s priced at $0.99c for those on a low budget. For pensioners, concession card holders and people who wouldn’t spit in my mouth if my teeth were on fire, you can actually get the story for [...]

Called From Stage Door Shadows, it contains 26 stories from writers around the English-speaking world, each one based on a line from Elton John’s hit Tiny Dancer. The [...]

Free!

Tweet

It’s about the half-way point on my second TimeSplash giveaway under the Kindle Select scheme and the result seems to be about the same as last time – thousands and thousands of books snatched up, mostly in the US. At the time of writing, a day and a half into the event, about 13,000 [...]

Christmas in July – Have a Good One

Tweet

And, to help you make the most of your turkey and mince pies, why not curl up with a good book?

Deck the Halls, “a merry measure of cross-genre short fiction subverting traditional notions of the holiday season,” is a collection of 32 short stories (each around 1500 words) by mainly Australian writers (but [...]
