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.

Writers on rafts – Queensland floods
January 21st, 2011  

I’m part of Writers on rafts, which is an initiative of Queensland Writers Centre and author Rebecca Sparrow to raise money for the Queensland Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal. More than 150 Australian authors have pledged prizes.

  • To enter Writers on Rafts go to http://www.writersonrafts.com
  • Purchase as many tickets as you like in as many categories as you want!
  • Every ticket is one chance to win for a lucky person in every state and territory.
  • Every dollar goes directly to the Queensland Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal to help victims of the Queensland floods.
  • QWC’s goal is to raise $10,000 through Writers On Rafts.
  • We will be conducting the draw on Friday, 25 February.

Go buy tickets – for anyone interested in the literary world, there are some great prizes!

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!

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.

Hooray!
January 23rd, 2010  

I’m very excited and pleased to announce that my children’s book, Victor’s Challenge, has won an Aurealis Award this year. Many thanks to Kim Gamble, the wonderful illustrator of the Victor books, and to all the people at Walker Books. Especial thanks to all the Aurealis team, who have worked very VERY hard to make the Aurealis Awards one of the highlights of the literary year. Congratulations to all the other winners – it was a terrific night… photos soon.
