I have to admit, I’ve been a bit intimidated by reader expectations when it comes to sketching Tayend and Dannyl. My worry wasn’t that they wouldn’t look like what reader’s pictured – I’m not psychic! – but that they’d look so different that readers would be bothered by it. One of the reasons I’m doing [...]

April Calendar – Regin
Another month over and here in Australia it’s my favourite season of the year: autumn. A few days ago I sent my corrections to proofs of The Traitor Queen back to the publisher. That’s the last I’ll see of it until my author copies arrive, probably a month before the release in July. From here [...]

So long as you choose the right ratio, the computer should scale down the image to fit the screen. If it doesn’t, [...]
The Sekrit Projekt: My Gift To Fans
So what was all the sewing, photo-taking, sketching and drawing leading to? Well, I wanted to do something with the character sketches other than just put them on this website. So had the drawing scanned and dragged out my old graphic design skills to make a little complimentary gift for fans of the Black Magician [...]
Interview & Another Competition
The lovely Rowena Cory Daniells, author of the Chronicles of King Rolen’s Kin, recently interviewed me in her series highlighting female fantasy authors. I’m offering another free copy of The Rogue to the best answer to “Why do you think there are so many fantastic female fantasy writers in Australia?” and we’ll be selecting a [...]
Dusting off the Designs Skills
With Supernova and the European Tour coming up, I thought it would be nice to have some freebies to give out. So I dusted off my old graphic design skills and produced a bookmark: It’s deliberately simple for two reasons. Firstly, to use any artwork from my book covers I’d have to get permission from [...]
