The northern launch
Why have one book launch when you can have two? That was my thinking, anyway, and seeing I was born in Launceston, in northern Tasmania, and the very nice Fullers Bookshop people had invited me to visit on Saturday October 15th, I decided to turn it into a second launch. And what a launch it...

The game again
What I want to know is, has anyone tried the City of Lies game? And if so, what did you think of it????? Hard? Easy? Fun? A bit snoozy? I am totally not an online game player, but I liked it. Very different from the Museum of Thieves game, of course. I wonder if there...

It's a really interesting website – great interviews with a whole lot of authors, and I'm getting some terrific (and hard!) questions thrown at me. You need to join if...

Two weeks to go …

First there was a package of books from Random House, with advance copies of the American edition of City of Lies. The next day the Australian edition arrived from Allen & Unwin....

Listen to an extract of City of Lies!
Claudia Black of Farscape fame narrated the audio version of Museum of Thieves. And now she has recorded Book 2: City of Lies! She has done another brilliant job and you can listen to an extract from the very first chapter here. I only just found this, and it was so exciting to listen to...
