Views, Reviews & Interviews

It’s been a busy week or two, with the new Twinmaker novel doing the rounds and various other things in the pipe. Crash/Crashland got some great press in the national papers.

Tomorrow I’m off to Supanova Brisbane, where I expect to do more of the same. I’m also starting a virtual residency at Inside a Dog, so if you want some writing tips that’s the place to go!

So, busy. But good. I’ll pop back in soon with a new story, and more.
