It was a busy weekend for me. Actually, it was a busy week for me, last week. It all just sorta coalesced toward the end of the week and became more busy. I attended AICon in Hobart for the 2nd time (though this was the first time I properly dressed up for it). I was attending in […]

You guys know me by now. You know that I love to chuck you in the deep end, and–like one of those particularly terrifying parents–leave you either to sink or swim. I don’t do too many explanations in my novels: I let things reveal themselves as time goes by, and I prefer not to say

There are some weeks when I know exactly what I want to blog about. Those are the good weeks: I usually end up with two blog post written for the week and one or two drafts stored up to explore later. Some weeks are less certain, and I have to scrape and search for things
As promised, I’ve got an update for the previously-titled Bright as the Eyes of You. You might have already seen this on Twitter or FB, but for those of you who haven’t, BatEoY is now titled Lady of Dreams. It took a lot of time and a dreadful amount of angst, but the deed is

No, I’m not seeking a co-writer (though that would be cool, too). I’m asking for the help of all you lovely people who have read the Shards of a Broken Sword books. As you will already know, the complete trilogy has just come out at 99c: however, because it’s the complete trilogy and not listed with
Okay, so I expected it to be a busy month. I just didn’t expect it to be THIS busy… So this is mostly a post where I’m going to whinge and complain about how much I hate formatting, editing, and preorders. First, preorders… (…totally NOT a smokescreen to showcase the fact that Shards of a

Life is hard. So are titles. To a writer, titles are like Death and Taxes–unavoidable. So when we find one that fits perfectly (aka, The Precious) like Gollum, we cling to it with all the desperate fervour of a drug addict. When that title is based on an excerpt from a favourite song, this is a
MerryChristmasandaHappyNewYear, guys! Today’s blog post will be a post in three acts, courtesy of my insanely rushed-and-jumbled Christmas season. Part One: Merry Christmas! And if you’re Jewish, Happy Hanukkah! For anything else, I offer a blanket “Happy Holidays!” in my ignorance, with my good wishes. This year was a pretty quiet Christmas, low key and

Current Frame of Mind: alternately terrified and excited. Why, you ask? Because I’m having my first radio interview as an Author, tomorrow. Now, I’ve been on the radio before: I was a School-of-the-Air kid for a few years, after all, and we visited the base station a time or two. I find that I’m significantly

Hi, everyone! So, as you may have seen, Bright as the Eyes of You has a complete first draft on Wattpad, and now nearly a complete second draft in hardcopy (changes which I now have to transfer to digital, argh!) Some very lovely readers have already sent me niggles and inconsistencies that they noticed in the
