So head over there to find information about me and my books, including release [...]

2011 Goodreads Choice Awards
I’m absolutely gobsmacked to find that The Rogue is included in the opening round of the Goodreads Choice Awards – fantasy division. You can vote for it, or one of the 15 books, or even nominate a book not on the list. I’ll be watching this one go through its rounds, because not only am [...]
Spoilt for Choice: Aus/NZ Events 2012

It’s quite a list: Perth, Apr 5-9: Swancon 37: Doom-Con Melbourne, Apr 13-15: Supanova Gold Coast, Apr 20-22: Supanova Sydney, May [...]
My Tour in Germany
We caught the train from Paris to Germany, which was nice and relaxing. Well… until the end of the journey when we discovered Paul’s camera and some lenses had been stolen from his bag in the overhead storage shelf. The frustrating thing, other than losing the camera of course, is that I remember seeing a [...]
Imaginales, Part 2

I’m not sure how much of the convention she actually saw, other than author signing queues. Then she went home and sewed and sewed and sewed. What [...]

We caught the Eurostar train to Paris, where we were met by Leslie from my French publisher, Bragelonne, and Lora, my French agent. Soon after we were [...]
Second Week of UK Events
When we got to Heathrow on Tuesday there was a car waiting to take us to Guildford. We spent the afternoon drinking tea and coffee, and recharging our batteries in preparation for the night’s event at Waterstones Guildford. A big crowd turned up: I signed for over 71 people. It was a wonderful night, overseen [...]
Poland
Next on the big Tour was Poland, and we had an amazing, wonderful time there and now really want to go back. We flew into Warsaw on Saturday and were greeted by my assistant for the weekend, Kasia, holding a big bag of Polish chocolate, a huge bunch of gorgeous red roses, and my schedule. [...]
