Feeding the baby birds

March 5, 2010

Sometimes there is a moment when a little bird has to find out if she really can fly – and this year is that moment for me.
I’m considering a number of options on how to put some wind beneath my wings so to speak. And yes, shock horror! Some of these involve earning money from [...]

Ready for the Boom

February 18, 2010

Most of my readers will know by now that this year began very badly for Tee Morris. He is now facing raising his daughter, affecitonately known as SonicBoom by himself after the death of her mother.
Many donated to the ChipIn fund which helped with the immediate expenses surrounding Natalie’s death, and even left a portion [...]

Litopia and the nemesis

February 11, 2010

Last week I had the honour of being one of the panel on Litopia After Dark. Hanging with the wonderful folks and talking writing was a lot of fun. I was a little nervous, but the panel made me feel at home very quickly.
Peter and Litopia do a great deal for the writing community- and [...]

Visionaries

February 5, 2010

Podioracket has been doing great work to promote and help podiobook authors. How Heather, Rhonda and the gang do it all I don’t know.
So when I was invited to be part of their first Anthology series I was very flattered. This series aims to expose listeners to a range of authors work, but rather than [...]

Together we are mighty

January 7, 2010

This year has not started how it was meant to. My dear friend, collaborator and colleague has found himself with the prospect of raising his child without her mother.
I know Tee wanted to keep this a private matter, but word hit twitter within hours and now the genie cannot get back in the bottle.
So here [...]

Goodbye 2009 and welcome in 2010

January 1, 2010

2009 – what a mixed bag of nuts you were.
A bunch of personal stuff was dealt with and sorted- which needed to happen. However there were a number of writing and podcasting successes that made up for all that.
The highlight has to be the two-book deal with Ace. As I have mentioned in various interviews [...]

Is there anybody out there??

December 3, 2009

I’ve mentioned before how lonely it can be writing (except when you have a energetic collaborator like Tee Morris but that’s another story for another post) so it is always nice when people send in voicemail, emails- or go that extra mile and review my work.
Recently two lovely ones have been posted over at Random [...]

So many cool friends…

October 2, 2009

The great thing about the internets is knowing so many talented folks. It challenges me, makes me work harder to be a creative individual.
So here are three examples of cool, interesting, talented folks that are rolling out new projects.
Gail Carriger’s Soulless is a book that we need to buy. Seriously. Everyone. It’s the kind of [...]

Pirate Chapbook

August 26, 2009

I love when authors and podcasters try new things, pushing their stories, and taking the bull by the horns as far as their own carreer goes. Justin Macumber has been doing a lot for his fellow authors with the Dead Robots Society- one of my favourite podcasts for writers.
So when Justin bought out his chapbook [...]

UPDATE And now the generosity continues- yes a free [...]

Far away into the silent land…

March 31, 2009

Forgive me as I sway towards melancoly.
Today is April 1st and you will find a number of podcasters remembering Joe Murphy on this date, because two years ago he passed beyond the Veil. Yet he is not forgotten.
I never got the chance to meet Joe in person. I was preparing for my first trip to [...]
