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

Three (!!!) Aurealis Award nominations
A couple of days ago, The Western Australian Science Fiction Foundation (WASFF), organisers of the 2015 Aurealis Awards, were delighted to announce the finalists for the Awards… And, I must say, I was and continue to be delighted to see that three — THREE! — of my short stories have been nominated for awards (two…… Continue reading Three (!!!)

Here’s Looking at You, 2015
Gazing back at 2015, I feel a bit like Scuttle in The Little Mermaid, flipping the telescope to look through both ends. What is near weirdly seems so far off and then — bam! — what was well away in the distance is brought instantly close. All of a sudden it’s New Year’s Eve, the…… Continue reading Here’s Looking at You, 2015
WFC 2015 (The ‘Better Late Than Never’ Post)

World Fantasy appearances with Bonus! Reading at the Kill Bar
In one last whirlwind trip across the pond for this year, I’m heading off for New York after GenreCon this weekend for World Fantasy 2015! All told, the trip is going to be about 10 days so I won’t get to do much touristing while I’m there — but there will be much writerly and…… Continue reading World Fantasy appearances with Bonus!

Launched! (Brisbane edition)
Well, Launch the Second is done and dusted, and a great time was had by all! The evening was blessedly cool and only mildly humid — a treat, given that most of my memories of Brisbane are sweltering — and a sweet crowd came out to Avid Reader Bookshop in the West End to help…… Continue reading Launched!
