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...

| This is a mixed bag, but I found it equal to, if not slightly stronger, than the first volume of the new 52 Green Lantern. There are things that really don't work - as an origin story it does NOTHING to show the origins of the Green Lantern Corps, or...more | |

| Some great looking artwork but a poor storyline in which not much happens but a lot of bickering and fisticuffs. Seems out of place with the rest of the new 52 storylines. There could be great things coming from this, but the 'origin' six-parter does...more | |

| I'm not normally someone who goes for the villain, but it's a bit difficult when they are more well-rounded, complex and interesting than your hero. Hal Jordan comes across as a bit whiny and petulant here, and that isn't a good start for what is mea...more | |

| For something which is the whole reason why the DC universe is rebooted and the new 52 are born, this story in itself seems rather anti-climactic, despite a good storyline involving Batman. Perhaps if they brought out an omnibus edition of all the st...more | |

| It is very important to read the novel in its historical context. Modern readers may be confronted by what seems like casual dismissal of homosexuality in the book's final pages, with talk of phases and whatnot. I think we have to remember that these...more | |

(3.5 / 5) Obviously written for the younger teen set, this is a groundbreaking novella in the Archie series dealing with its first gay character's "origin" story. Kevin Keller is an extremely likable character, but some heavy moralising and soapboxing...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?
