I’ve mentioned before, I think, that one of the surprises of having a book published is the number of times you have to read it through. I don’t mean all those times you read it through as you’re writing it, to make sure that final draft is as fluent and coherent as possible, but [...]

The Future Fire My favourite spec fic magazine is The Future Fire, and its reviews section, The Future Fire Reviews, has just published a review of TimeSplash. It was actually a fairly lukewarm review, but well-written and well-researched. The reviewer, Keith Lawrence, called TimeSplash “a pleasant read” (ouch!) but for me, at least, [...] It is six months now since Lyrical Press published my debut sci-fi novel, TimeSplash, and it is just starting to be noticed by genre fans. One of the signs is that it popped up today in a poll of Goodreads sci-fi authors – and in third place! Now, third place may not sound great, [...] Here’s something I didn’t expect to see. It is a certificate from the US Copyright Office for TimeSplash. Of course, I already owned the copyright in TimeSplash as soon as I’d finished writing it under Australian and International law, but America is special. There, to protect your rights, you have to bung the Government [...] At first, it seemed far, far away in the future. Then it began and seemed to go on forever. Now it is over and it feels just like yesterday. The TimeSplash Virtual Book Tour has come to an end with a spectacular 6 part wrap-up interview with Andy Shackcloth. And, now it is done, [...] Something wonderful happened to me today. I looked at the Web and there was a story by Steven Odhner, called ‘The Deep End’, set in the ‘world’ of TimeSplash. And not just any old story. A really good one, with a brilliant premise. Anyone who has read TimeSplash should pop over to Steven’s blog [...] My warts-and-all exposé of electronic-only publishing is up now at Uppington’s blog All Things Good. You’ll be shocked! You’ll be astonished! You’ll run screaming for your mother! And then you’ll realise you were reading the wrong blog and have a look at my pleasant little piece instead. The TimeSplash Blog Tour is nearing the [...] When Janette Dalgliesh, my blog tour host for today, asked me to do a piece about ‘turning points’, I knew exactly which particular one she had in mind. However, on reflection, even in just the writerly side of my life, there have been so many. Mostly they have stemmed from decisions I have made [...] After the fun of having Sniper interviewed at Andy Shack’s blog, and the thrill of being interviewed by Page Readers at BlogTalkRadio, now for something completely different. Today, the TimeSplash blog tour returns to Australia to be hosted by none other than the creator of the Sentients of Orion series and the Parrish Plessis [...] As the clock ticks past midnight New York time, Once Upon a Bookstore, my publisher’s own online bookshop, is selling copies of TimeSplash. Get your copy here I don’t know how it happened, but somehow all those days have finally passed and my book is out there. Please, everybody, pass on this [...] |
