Back online!
If you were unfortunate enough to try to access this web site/blog any time in the last two weeks or so, you would have noticed that all of the usual content was inaccessible due to a hacker compromising it. I was in India when I learned of the hack, and still had a little under … Continue reading »

Please Bear With Me
As my web site was hacked a couple of weekends ago, I’m still in the process of sorting everything out again. The hacker deleted all of my themes and plugins (though thankfully not much of the content) so it’s going to take me a while to sort out setting up a new theme that I … Continue reading »

Announcing: Bridging the Divide
Today, my short story Bridging the Divide was published in the inaugural issue of Plunge Magazine, an online magazine specifically focusing on queer women in genre fiction. This first issue’s theme was queer women in mythology. Bridging the Divide follows a mermaid, Prudence, on a quest to find a murderer, set in London in 1894. [...]

The Awesomest Girl in the World
I originally created this comic back in June 2011, but I never posted it here, so I’m going to go ahead and do that now, even though I’m not entirely happy with the ending.

France, June 21-29, 2012
My apologies for how long it’s taken me to get around to writing this one. It’s already February 2013, and I went to France in June last year! Over seven months, but I suppose that’s what happens when my primary focus has been writing a novel, and then catching up on all my other travel [...]

Thailand, Nov 25-30, 2012
As has been the case every year since 2006, I have spent my birthday in a different country. This year it was to be Thailand, because when we went to Bangkok in January, I learned about the old Siamese capital, Ayutthaya, and really wanted to go see the ruins. We didn’t have enough time on [...]

Jaclyn Rousseau goes to Malacca
What would you do if you randomly saw a woman dressed like a pirate, walking around a tourist town, seeing no explanation as to why? In case you’re someone who isn’t a regular follower of mine, Jaclyn Rousseau is a character I’ve been developing roughly over the last two years. As she was first introduced [...]

New Year’s Road Trip, 2012-13
One of the benefits of living in a small country (compared to Australia) is that it doesn’t take all that long to drive to another city — or country, for that matter — and enjoy some new sights. We haven’t really made the most of that since moving to Malaysia a little over four years [...]

2012 in Review
With another year gone, it’s fitting to summarise the highlights of the past year. Sometimes it’s hard to remember the good times when there have also been lows, so I want to remember how far I’ve come in spite of those lows. January * Spent a few days in Bangkok, Thailand * My eldest son [...]

Check out Onn San’s Epomania
Last month I wrote about a Malaysian short film, Gangster Macha. I’m still interested in making you aware of other creative people you might be familiar with, but I’m not going to follow a particular format. Earlier this month I went to a public screening of the aforementioned Gangster Macha at The Bee in Mont [...]
