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 [...]

An UnCONventional Guest
It’s official: I’m going to be International Guest of Honour at UnCONventional in Auckland next year. I’ve been wanting to go to the New Zealand convention for years, but in recent years the dates clashed with Aussie cons, publicity trips or, this year, the European Tour. Now I will be going as a guest – [...]
That’s a Lot of Zeros!
Yesterday morning I woke to some amazing news: Orbit has officially broken the 1 million mark for total sales of my print books through UK Bookscan! Thanks to everyone who bought them, gifted them, sold them, borrowed them from libraries and recommended them. And a tip of the hat to the Orbit crew, who really [...]
Deal of the Week!
We arrived in the UK on Monday and have been simultaneously beating jet lag into submission while preparing for The Tour, which seemed to involve an awful lot of messing around getting the phone and internet working. Today the fun begins. Many, many cool things are happening. The Rogue has been arriving on doorsteps and [...]
We have a winner!
Congratulations to Cal, winner of the copy of The Rogue. As I said in the competition post, I picked a winner at random not by whether their answer was right. I don’t want to spoil the plot for readers! (To get a random winner I took the total number of comments for that post, counted [...]
Win a Signed Hardback First Edition of The Rogue!
They’re here! They’re here! (“The Towering Rogueferno”) Which means I have just enough time to run a competition before I head off overseas. So… to win a signed hardback first edition of The Rogue, answer this question in the comments: Who do you think has/had Akkarin’s third blood ring? Next Monday (Melbourne time) I will [...]
Vague Tour Post No.2
It’s both exciting and frustrating. I’m getting more and more emails and tweets asking for details about The Tour, but I all I have is a rough work-in-progress schedule. This appears to be due to some bad timing: some of the venues I’m going to be appearing in are advertising the fact and selling tickets. [...]
Supanova!
I’ve been invited to be a guest at Supanova in Melbourne this year. What is Supanova? Well, I’ll steal a quote from their site because it describes the event perfectly: Supanova Pop Culture Expo is where the adoring public comes face to face with Supa-Star celebrities and the creative talent that inspire their imaginary worlds [...]
Happy New Year!
May 2011 bring you happiness, success and lots of good books to read! I’m on holidays at the moment, and in order to have a proper break I’m restricting my internet usage. But I’ll be back in work mode on Monday. ‘Avagoodweekend!
The Vague Tour Post
At the moment I’m checking the editorial corrections on The Rogue, scouring it for errors and tweaking it to make it, as my art teacher used to say, ‘more betterer’, which is going to make for a very busy weekend-less couple of weeks. I don’t have time to write long and fascinating posts here and [...]
