Closing of the Veil

August 29, 2010

This may come as a shock to some of you, but I hope no one will freak out with this news. You will no longer be able to buy a print edition of Chasing the Bard or Digital Magic from DragonMoon Press. OK… wow that was like ripping off a band-aid. Hopefully you are all [...]

Bard on your internet radio dial

February 19, 2010

Erotica a la carte has been lots of fun on Radio Dentata- and so it was lovely to be approached by Sean Owens of IRFT Celtic Radio about bringing Chasing the Bard to their station. My celtic roots run deep with ancestors both Scottish and Irish. My two trips to Scotland were some of the [...]

So when I went to the awards ceremony for the Sir Julius Vogel awards I was in a zen place about winning one. (Here’s an explanation on the award) Digital Magic was in a [...]

Like a wheel within a wheel

April 4, 2009

People often ask me ‘show how popular was Chasing the Bard podiobook?’ and truthfully I didn’t know.

Living on the Edge

March 20, 2009

It’s been one of those months- everything seems to be hanging on a knife edge, and it is not my preferred method of living I can tell you. Digital Magic (best novel- adult) and the podcast version of Chasing the Bard (best fan production) are up for Sir Julius Vogel Awards this year. This NZ [...]

Touch my cheek…

February 20, 2009

…or alternatively touch the bard and the dark goddess. There is something extra cool about seeing your work on the new shiny devices. (I admit I am a gadget-head) Digital Magic should be the next month or so, but until then, get the bard and the dark goddess in your pocket. Purchase Chasing the Bard for [...]

Darling I say goodbye…

October 9, 2008

Closing off a project is hard. Especially when it is one as delightfully unexpected as the Chasing the Bard podcast has been. I’ve been blown away by the response to my little tale. The number of people who have called, written and contributed was something I never expected. So the final bonus episode is posted- [...]
