Aurealis Awards	May 21st, 2012
I’m delighted and a bit shocked to announce that Ember and Ash has won the Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel of 2011. Thank you to everyone concerned with the awards (especially the judges, of course!) and to all those who have found ways of congratulating me over the past few days. Congratulations also to the other winners: see http://www.aurealisawards.com/media-release_winners2011.pdf for the details. I was particularly chuffed when old friend Christopher Cheng won the Best Children’s Fiction award for Sounds Spooky. No Comments

Fastest Ship in Space Ebook

November 4th, 2011

Now that the 21st century is well and truly here I am starting to make my backlist available via Ebooks.

The first one is now available – The Fastest Ship in Space. It was published in paperback as Shipborn but I never really liked the title.

The book is for children not adults but if you have any kids they should enjoy this story of kids, pirates and smugglers travelling around the Solar System.

You can find it here on Amazon.com.

Bookbag review	May 29th, 2011
There’s an excellent review of Ember and Ash by Robert James at The Bookbag site. I was particularly chuffed by the line: ‘this is an accomplished novel with some beautiful writing and is a definite recommendation for fantasy fans’. To read the full review, including the bits he didn’t like, go here. No Comments

Omnibus review	January 11th, 2011
Have a look at this review of the trilogy. A very thoughtful review which really touched me. It’s lovely when a reviewer understands the deeper meaning of a story and responds to it. Thanks, Lone Bear! No Comments

Ember and Ash and more	June 1st, 2010
I’m glad to say that Ember and Ash has made it through the copy edit stage and will be coming out early next year. I’ll be putting a preview chapter up before then, so watch this space! Also, check out this review of the Castings Trilogy at Australian Speculative Fiction in Focus – couldn’t ask for a better reader! US and UK readers should also watch out for an omnibus edition of the trilogy, coming soon. No Comments
