How to get hold of these stories and novellas


Since I live in Australia, my stories tend to be published there first and aren't always available elsewhere. You can order the magazines and books they appeared in either online, from the publisher, or from an Australian bookstore (if they're still in print). Use your favourite search engine to look for “Australian science fiction and fantasy bookstore” for the latter.

Dreaming Again and Legends of Australian Fantasy are also published in the US. A small collection of stories translated to Polish is available from my Polish publisher.

I am hoping to have a collection of short stories and novellas published in the future. It'll contain the stories above as well as a handful of as yet unpublished ones. However, if you do buy the above anthologies and magazines you not only support the people who have supported me over the years, but have the bonus of a whole lot of other excellent stories by very talented writers, and may discover an author whose work you’ll love.
