As the Weird Turns
Angela Slatter’s editorial is up at the WeirdFictionReview site, and it’s full of awesome recommendations for weird summer reading. Here’s a little snippet to whet your appetites: When I was a kid (yes,Virginia, dinosaurs walked the earth then), I read Saki’s “Sredni Vashtar” and have regarded garden sheds with an acute suspicion ever since. M R James was responsible…… Continue reading As the Weird Turns
Also, Cheeky Frawg Books!
Cheeky Frawg Books has launched a new website. Does it sell Cheeky Frawg ebooks? Yes! But very…cheekily.

This is what I’ve been working on. Not drawing it, obviously. That’s all Gorey. But writing about it. In a Weird kind of way. Tomorrow, there will be Therapy.
Five star review for Bluegrass Symphony!

In my mind I set the Midnight and Moonshine stories to ‘percolate’, abandoned the dreariness of marking essays, and headed in to the city to play tourist for a day. Sure, I’ve lived here for 10 years. And, sure, I…… Continue reading Adventures of a (Camera Happy) Local Tourist
Oh so true…
…and so fitting, after yesterday’s post. The Bermuda Triangle of Productivity:
On Being Productive
All writers have different habits, good and bad, that influence their productivity. Some prefer to write things out long-hand, some like to plot and plan, some simply need to check Facebook and Twitter and twelve different email accounts before they can focus on fiction. We all know our own foibles, and we know equally well…… Continue reading On Being Productive

Bluegrass Symphony — radio review!
Somehow it seems so fitting to have Bluegrass Symphony reviewed on the good old-fashioned radio. I haven’t heard the broadcast on Radio Adelaide’s “Writers Radio” programme, but Gillian Dooley’s transcript can be read in full here. And so many wonderful things are said in this short review! Here’s a snippet: Self-sacrifice is a frequent theme.…… Continue reading Bluegrass Symphony — radio review!
