It’s up! Go here to read it. Normally I have to carefully format the text and add html code, but this time the lovely bods at Orbit have done it all for me – and it’s up a month earlier. For the full story, I’m afraid you’re going to have to wait until the release [...]

Continuum 6: Future Tense
I’ll be at Continuum 6 this weekend, in Melbourne. I love these smaller, local cons for their cosy atmosphere. It’s much easier to get to meet the guests, for a start, and catch up with all my friends. I’m on only one panel this time: Sunday, 2pm: Craftonomicon Meet the new crafters and makers. What [...]
The Aurealis Awards
It was very nice of them to arrange for Australia Day to come right after the Aurealis Awards, because by the time I got home on Sunday and unpacked on Monday I needed a good long Tuesday relaxing in the sun and eating BBQ to recover. Here are some pics of the weekend: Kaaron Warren [...]
Pulp Fiction and the Aurealis Awards
It’s that time of year again! What time? Aurealis Awards time! I booked my tickets a few months ago, just a couple of weeks before I found out that The Magician’s Apprentice was shortlisted. (Which, I have to admit, has turned it from a relaxed opportunity to dress up and party to a nail-biting, nerve-wracking [...]
FWOR!
A bunch of writerly friends have been organising ourselves a two week writing retreat for the last couple of years. We call ourselves Fantasy Writers On Retreat, and this year we even have a blog. I spent a week in Berry in their wonderful company, and now I’m writing in isolation in Bowral (which does [...]
The Magician’s Apprentice is #1!
There’s this weird time-warp thing that happens when writing books. Right now I’m working on the start of The Rogue, while waiting for the first pages of The Ambassador’s Mission to arrive for proofing. So when I hear some news about The Magician’s Apprentice, I can’t help thinking ‘but it’s been years since I finished [...]
The Magician’s Apprentice shortlisted for an AA
There’s been nothing to report here lately. I’ve been proofing my way through the copy edit of The Ambassador’s Mission, sniffling my way through a cold, writing my way through a short story, and plotting my way into The Rogue. But last night something very reportable arrived in my email inbox – The Magician’s Apprentice has [...]
Yes, I Know My Website Is Broken
I broke it myself, trying to fix a few things. It does look like most of the content is visible, however, so I’m not freaking out about it. Right now I’m in the middle of proofing the copy edit of The Ambassador’s Mission, but as soon as I finish that I’ll see about fixing it.
The Ambassador’s Mission Cover
And the blurb can be found here (WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE BLACK MAGICIAN TRILOGY!) So far I only have vague release time information suggesting maybe, possibly May 2010. I know I’ll be working on edits right up to New Year.
Interview
A few months back I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Joshua Hill for the Fantasy Book Review website. I remember waffling on quite a bit, but Josh has deftly turned my ramblings into (hopefully) interesting stories. The interview is here.
