Updates

A very business-like update.

Reviews

Niall Alexander, at the Speculative Scotsman, reviews "The Grinding House" Novella from 40K Books. The publisher is running a poll on Goodreads with a number of their other novellas, to decide which one will be offered for 99 cents in April.

Interviews, guest blogs, podcasts

I'll be appearing via Skype at Schuler Books (Lansing, Michigan) to talk about Slights with the Fanged Fiction Book Group. Here, I revisit some of the books I talk about in Slights.
I talk about writing, short stories and covers at David McDonald's blog. He has some lovely guest posts there.
My Friday Five, over at PornoKitsch, will appear this Friday. Can't wait to see what Jared and Anne come up with!
This is very cool indeed! The podcast Tales To Terrify is playing all six of the Stoker Award Nominated short stories over the next two episodes. My story appears here, alongside Adam Troy Castro and Gene O'Neill. Next is Stephen King, George Saunders and Ken Lillie-Paetz.
I went to the wonderful Electric Shadows bookshop to hear Marion Halligan read. I love her work. It's filled with humour and a sharp observation of human behaviour. Here we are in City News trying to hide our wine!
Abbey's Bookshop in Sydney has posted a list of women writer's to watch for. Very pleased to see my name there!
