Collaboration

Love and fire

September 19, 2010

A while back I wrote a short story for my good friend PG Holyfield. The Tales of the Children are set in the world of Caern, and supported the release of Patrick’s Murder at Avedon Hill. Writing in another person’s universe was a really fun opportunity, and it was nice to get to play with [...]

Together, holding hands

August 11, 2009

I have tech edited two wonderful books on Twitter by Tee Morris, but this is the first time I have helped choose stories for an anthology. I was very pleased to be invited to help chose from among the submissions for The Kiwi Writers Challenge Collection 2009 Yes that deserves to be in big ole [...]

Do you know the way to San Jose? I do

August 10, 2009

Suddenly realized that I haven’t blogged in awhile- and that isn’t because things aren’t happening. In fact it is because they are! There have been more nibbles writing wise, that are both sureal and exciting– and none I can talk about. One of them does involve my steampunk story. It has a new title, Books [...]

This is not an ordinary thing…

July 24, 2009

You know, you work at something for 12 years, plugging along, enjoying what you are doing, but not expecting things to happen. I’ve just kept my head down doing what I love- and lately I’ve had to look up. Ever since my wonderful agent sold the 2 book deal to Ace I have found new [...]

Fix a date

May 15, 2009

Well if I thought it was all just a mad dream, here is evidence that I am not. From May 2009 edition of Locus confirmation that the Ace deal is a go. So I sent the contract by fast plane to New York, and now I have a date of publication. Geist will be out [...]

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 [...]

I’m going to build a room that echoes

February 16, 2009

When I started out working on Erotica a la Carte and thinking how I would manage it I knew there was one issue. Weather Child. A lot of podcasters make the mistake of working too damn hard- or piling their plates too high. So after doing Chasing the Bard I knew approximately how much work is [...]

Friends will be friends

January 29, 2009

Well its been a while since I have been blogging so, let’s get into it. First off Whispers at the Edge is on hiatus. I find I have just too many podcasting and writing projects that need to get done, and something had to give. I imagine it will be 3 months until I get [...]

Give a little bit of heart and soul

November 16, 2008

The wonderful Nobilis from Nobilis Erotica has finished the final episode of the Pieces Podcast. Eight writers an one crazy experiment. As Nobilis said, the result was far from perfect. Writers are usually solo creators for a reason! Plot, characterisation, style; all are very personal, and are best handled by one, or at the most two [...]

We could be heroes…

November 3, 2008

The end is nigh for the Pieces Podcast- the collaborative experiment that Nobilis of Nobilis Erotica came up with. Eight fiction writers Nobilis, Chris Lester, Christian Ellis, Greydancer, Paul S Jenkins, Brandon Crose, John Tanzer and myself all taking turns to write a world. It was quite a different experience for me. Rather than having an [...]
