This arrived in the mail last week: And today is the official release date! Woohoo! Fearsome Journeys, edited by the lovely Jonathan Strahan, contains a story that I had simmering away in my mind for many years about a particular kind of parasitic magic. A couple of years ago, while I was weaving on my [...]

A Good Yarn – In Fabula-Divino
by Trudi Canavan on Mar 08, 2013 (4) Comments
A few years back, while having dinner with some publishing peeps in the USA, I jokingly said I was going to write a fantasy knit lit book next. What is knit lit? It’s a novel that features knitting. It’s not about knitting, it just happens to contain, say, a knitter. And plenty of yarns. (And [...]
Fearsome Journeys

This one’s a bit late as I’ve been immersed in writing Thief’s Magic and reorganising our library. The wonderful Jonathan Strahan has put together an anthology of fantasy with a tilt toward the military and sorcerous, and I was delighted to be invited to submit to it – not just because it’s nice to be [...]
Epic: Legends of Fantasy

I’m still catching up on posts I couldn’t publish while this site was being fixed. Most frustrating of all was not being able to get this one blogged. I could have posted it while I was at Supanova, but then it might have disappeared too quickly among posts about the expos. Better to wait and [...]

I’d like to be able to write a blog post every week for this site, but that’s not always possible. The frustrating thing is, right now there are two events I’ve been invited to as a guest that I’d like to blog about, but I’m holding back. Neither events’ websites mention me, and a little [...]

Haven’t the Orbit and the designer, Clockpunk Studios, done a brilliant job? I love it! They’ve been working on it for the last month or so. I’ve also got stuck in and edited, updated or rewritten all of the old text. (Some of it was very old indeed – my entry on Neil Gaiman in [...]

In a week’s time I’ll be making a public appearance at a local library to talk on a panel about Dreaming Again, an anthology of Australian speculative fiction that was published recently. (Here’s my post about it.) Jack Dann, Cecelia Dart-Thornton, Adam Browne and I will be talking about the anthology and our stories published within it. [...]
Dreaming Again

Back in 1999, when I was an unpublished wannabe with my finger on the pulse, I heard about an Aussie speculative fiction anthology to top all Aussie speculative fiction anthologies: Dreaming Down Under, edited by Jack Dann and Janeen Webb. Oh, how I wanted to have a story in that anthology, but it was invitation-only [...]
