Illuminae News
. News! News, I say! Although the exclamation points would seem to indicate I’m shouting. Whatever. SO we get to announce some foreign rights sales on ILLUMINAE today. These announcements tend to take time, but I swear by Thor’s hammer and Odin’s Beard and Loki’s perfectly sculpted cheekbones (seriously, wtf Hiddleston) there will be more. […]

What’s in a name?
Letters, of course. *ba-doom tissssssh* - crickets - It’s a little over 8 months until the final book of the Lotus War hits shelves. 8 months until the series that completely changed my life does it’s final twirl upon the stage and makes you all ugly cry like a 5 year old Jay when Bambi’s […]

Don’t quit your day job
. So, I quit my day job this week. I’d been building up to it in my head ever since the deal on ILLUMINAE broke, but it’s still left me a little . . . bitey. I’m sitting here at 10pm, having written 3.5k of my SLASHER GIRL AND MONSTER BOYS short today, and I’m […]

Awards!
. Hello droogies, This is the mandatory holiday blog post, posted well after the holidays are over in keeping with my “too busy to scratch himself, let alone engage in bloggery, holiday-themed or otherwise” motif, which seems to be coming along swimmingly, thanks for asking.

The Awesome
. Droogies! I have successfully braved the sweaty wilds of Brisbane Supanova, and my plane did not crash into the sea on the flight back, which is always a plus. I’ll do a full round up of my ringside seat at the George R.R Martin Experience once Adelaide SN is over (next weekend, local droogies, […]

Ten ways being published will change your life
. Even on my darkest days, I must remind myself of one inescapable fact: I pretty much have the best job in the world. I mean, I’ve never been a Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist and I suspect that would be quite flash, as far as gigs go. But it doesn’t really count as a job. […]

Where u been bro
. Hello peoples! Yes, I have been terribly, terribly slack with the bloggery over the last month. Slacker than a 32 year old neckbeard still living at home with his parents and spending his every waking minute trolling reddit boards. Slacker than a slacker’s slack bits. You’ll be pleased to know I have been less […]

Sydney/Perth Supanova
. I have returned from the goliath of nerdfests that is Supanova with hide intact, and only a mild case of con-flu. Gather ye ’round children, and I shall speak of my first tiny steps into the kinda awesome, kinda scary world of “fandom’. Until Manifest last year, I’d never actually been to a con […]
