Book Launch
Amethyst Pledge is due for release on the 17th of April. I was going to have a lovely affair down at Double Picc, one of our local cafes where I often sit to write, involving coffee, snacks and book signings. This is looking incredibly unlikely right now. We're not 'locked down' as such (although I … Continue reading Book Launch
When You Have to Rearrange Your Story
I've been writing the second part of a fantasy trilogy. None of it's published at this point, but for the last few weeks it's been hard going.

It's always a bit of a guessing game travelling to Sydney from here. On a … Continue reading NSW Writers Centre Speculative Fiction Festival

Well, I'm back. From four days of discussions, panels, cover art pose offs, and lots of fun. Continuum was my very first Science Fiction Convention, and I'm happy to say it most definitely won't be my last.I participated in three panels as a panellist, did a reading of Frontier Incursion, and ran a market stall … Continue reading Continuum
Reading, Writing and High school.
We have a son who has just finished his highschooling. Â As he waited for his exam results, I thought once again about the joy of reading. Â I love reading. Â It's a whole world of escape, excitement, beauty, thoughtfulness, joy and sadness that I can wander off in. Â We've had two kids go all the way … Continue reading Reading, Writing and High school.
