Bluegrass Symphony has been Bibliophile Stalked!

Today has been awesome! Finished writing another chapter of The Familiar, and then when I bemoaned my lack of pancakes on Twitter this morning (it seems like *everyone* eats and then tweets about pancakes on Sunday!) the lovely Charles Tan offered me something MUCH sweeter: a link to the fabulous review he wrote of Bluegrass…… Continue reading Bluegrass Symphony has been Bibliophile Stalked!

Business cards: Or, On How I am Spoiled Rotten

I’ve reached that stage in my writing career where business cards come in handy. Going to cons, sending contracts, mailing in hard copies of subs — these are but a few of the opportunities we have to share our professional details. So I put some together a few months ago, simple things that were meant…… Continue reading Business cards: Or, On How I am Spoiled Rotten

Here’s looking at you, 2011

Last day of the year… so like many of you I’m feeling the urge to commit a bit of retrospective bloggery. 2011 sucked. Then it was awesome. Then it sucked again.

The Weird West in Fiction

This week, a feature post I wrote about the Weird West in fiction is up on suduvu.com — Random House’s site about all things science fiction and fantasy (books, movies, games, comics, manga — yeah, pretty much everything).

Five star review for Bluegrass Symphony!

The wonderful Mary Victoria (author of Oracle’s Fire, Samiha’s Song, and Tymon’s Flight) has read and reviewed Bluegrass Symphony — and gave it five stars! This book tickled me in so many ways. It’s imaginative, well-written, fearless. Yes, fearless – this is a book which doesn’t give a hillbilly rat’s tail dipped in bourbon whether…… Continue reading Five star review for Bluegrass Symphony!

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!
