A little while ago, the cool folks over at This Is Horror asked me to say a few words on their podcast about the best writing advice I’d received (or heard or read) thus far in my career, and I was more than happy to oblige. Episode 109 has contributions from Stephen Graham Jones, Mercedes…… Continue reading This is Horror: Best Writing Advice

Dragons of the Night: Postscripts 36/37
Don’t know how I missed this, but The Dragons of the Night, volume 36/37 of PS Publishing’s Postscripts series, is out! In gorgeous hardback (as always!) and LOOK! My name is there on the cover! 😮 This volume contains my story, ‘Surfacing’ — perhaps one of the saddest I’ve written (IMHO). By way of introducing…… Continue reading Dragons of the Night: Postscripts 36/37
Oh, Sing Me a Song about Murder…
Now that Egaeus Press has made the news public, I can announce how delighted I am to have a story in their forthcoming anthology, Murder Ballads. MURDER BALLADS will be an anthology of stories inspired by that ancient oral tradition: Tales that share the intimacy of a fireside song, a family secret, a Victorian melodrama…… Continue reading Oh, Sing Me a Song about Murder…
Talking Collaboration over at Tor.com
At the end of last year, while Angela and I were gallivanting around NYC, we got to stop awhile to spend a great afternoon with the folks at Tor.com. Tucked away in a recording studio in the Flatiron building, we filmed this conversation / interview about our collaboration process. It was so much fun! A…… Continue reading Talking Collaboration over at Tor.com
Speculative Fiction and Fantasy Festival, 7-8 May
I’m delighted to be on the program for the SA Writers Centre’s upcoming Speculative Fiction and Fantasy Festival, which is happening next weekend (7-8 May). This is going to be such a blast — as you can no doubt see from the list of featured guests: Gillian Rubinstein (aka Lian Hearn), Sean Williams, Lisa L…… Continue reading Speculative Fiction and Fantasy Festival, 7-8 May
Home Again, Home Again: Post-Natcon, Post-Retreat, Post-Brisbane Post
This is probably the last and latest “post-Natcon” post to show its face on the interwebs — considering it’s now, what, a whole week after the convention ended? — but better late than never, I say. I had a grand time at Contact 2016, which kicked off on the Thursday evening with a completely fun…… Continue reading Home Again, Home Again: Post-Natcon, Post-Retreat, Post-Brisbane Post
The Mammoth Book of Cthulhu!
I have been utterly remiss in not posting about this yet! My complete lack of posting does not in any way reflect how awesome or exciting it is that Paula Guran has edited this anthology, that it contains 150,000+ words of new fiction (that’s right: all original stuff, not reprints!), that she asked me for…… Continue reading The Mammoth Book of Cthulhu!
Contact 2016: Where to find me at Natcon this weekend
In a few days, I’ll be heading up to Brisbane for Contact 2016, the 55th Australian National Speculative Fiction Convention, which is being held over Easter weekend. I’m super-excited but also not entirely prepared (read: not at all prepared) for the trip — I keep thinking it’s weeks and weeks away when, in fact, I’ll be…… Continue reading Contact 2016: Where to find me at Natcon this weekend
Channelling Sir Didymus: Or, how a Muppet can be any writer’s spirit animal
Last night, after a day mostly filled with revising the novella I’ve been working on for the better part of a month, we went down to the beachside open-air cinema to watch The Labyrinth. Like most of you, I’ve seen this film about a gazillion times — but never before have I seen it up…… Continue reading Channelling Sir Didymus: Or, how a Muppet can be any writer’s spirit animal
The Bestiary, The Library, and a New Awesome Patreon
