Tigerland has been out for a while now, so I think it's safe to talk about some things - mainly to do with Jasper Brunswick.
He was a character who existed mainly to be Simon's comic foil, his nemesis through life. We're not even privy to why this is, really - we just know there was a lot of animosity between them when they worked together prior to the events of Tigers and Devils, and according...

| King's latest is such a pleasure in so many ways. Even his fans admit that his work can be pretty hit and miss - when he's good he's brilliant, and when he's bad he's abysmal. Joyland is simply terrific, a short novel more in vein of The Body than a...more | |

| Religion can be a contentious issue to write about as it can often come across as melodramatic on the written page, even though it can be accurately reflecting the behaviour of church pastors and their delivery, etc. This is a page-turning book but i...more | |

| Aquaman tends to have a bad rep with comic lovers - I'm not sure why, he's always been one of my favourites - and this reboot tends to tackle this perception head on with some sly one-liners about civilian reactions to Aquaman in comparison to other...more | |

| This book, split between the point of view of two teenage boys, is a compelling study of the relationship between brothers. One is the 'stereotypical' jock (as time shows us, he is anything but) and the other is the more sensitive, introspective type...more | |

| Wow, to tell you the truth I've never read a Batwoman comic, but her story in the 0 omnibus intrigued me so I was not disappointed when I read this. Although I find her paleness a bit too over the top in the artwork, Kate herself is a fascinating cha...more | |

“I would never have broken up with you," I said earnestly. "I'm more miserable without you than I am with you." As soon as that sentence came out I groaned, because I knew how bad it sounded.

“...this woman, moved by some private sorrow as much as the words being spoken, cried almost silently, unobserved by others, apart from Mma Ramotswe, who stretched out her hand and laid it on her shoulder. Do not cry, Mma, she began to whisper, but changed her words even as she uttered them, and said quietly, Yes, you can cry, Mma. We should not tell people not to weep - we do it because of our sympathy for them - but we should really tell them that their tears are justified and entirely right.”

For writing Tigerland and making it worth reading. It was spectacular.

Hi, Susan! So glad you liked the book. My other novels are a bit different to TaD, but most people seem to like Dash and Dingo the best after it.

Hey Sean, Thanks so much for the invite! I finished reading Tigers and Devils this morning and I loved it! Massive Coincidence! hahaha
Thank you for accepting that, I was wondering if you ever plan to write more with the characters from tiger and devil?
Thanks for the request- had to laugh, just before i saw it i was reading an interview w/you from a year or so back courtesy of a random stumbleupon click... -a.
I'm pretty sure if Twitter is a recognised word now, so must be friending!Fuck I miss Melbourne. Unfortunately I moved back to Perth to be with family after getting sick but spent eight glorious years there. It must be in the blood though, because I was born there. Long family story!
Are you north or south of the river?
