The limited edition Flotsam Omnibus hardcovers are officially a thing that exists in the world. Apocalypse Ink posted an image of them on the twitters, complete with bonus cat: The limited edition hardback of THE FLOTSAM Trilogy by @Petermball has arrived and it’s gorgeous! pic.twitter.com/9qHDTyYDf0 — Apocalypse Ink (@ApocalypseInk) November 11, 2015 Release date is […]
Two quick addendum’s to yesterday’s post. ONE: NEW STORY AT DAILY SF My latest story, The Place Beyond the Brambles, deals with bees and mysteries and missing love, and it just went live over on the Daily Science Fiction website. When last I saw you, my sweet, my love, you were shrunk to the size […]
I had this crazy idea in my head. I thought things would slow down, once GenreCon was over. Self, I said, if you get through this, it’s all unicorns and nachos. You can finish your writing project, bugger off to Melbourne for a holiday, get ready to kick off 2016 right, you know? For the most […]
By the time you read this, you and I are living in different worlds. You are living in the real world, where real things happen. I have travelled to Conference Land, where my head disappears into spreadsheets and phone-calls and a couple of hundred people wanting things done all urgent-like. There is no downtime once you […]
I’ve got an email here from Heather Wood, the editor behind the Gods, Memes, and Monsters anthology, that the books is now out and available for sale at the book-purchasing options of your preference. I’ve been looking forward to this one coming out. The brief, way back at the start of 2014 when Heather asked if I’d […]
It’s official: Crusade has been released into the world, doing the thing that newly released books do. Which seems to be convincing people it’s time to get around to reading Frost, now that the trilogy is complete. It’s available for sale and I encourage you to buy it (but then, I would, wouldn’t I?): Amazon US | Amazon Australia | […]
We’re two or three days away from the launch of Crusade, the third book in the Flotsam novella series. The following appeared on the Apocalypse Ink blog a few days back, along with the launch date and blurb: Damn, I like that cover. I’d be talking about this being the end of Flotsam and my […]
Occasionally you check the internet and remember things you’ve forgotten about. Case in point: The June 14 edition of the Far-Fetched Fables podcast featured Matthew Fredrickson doing a reading of one of my first short stories, The Last Great House of Isla Tortoga, which first appeared in Jack Dann’s most excellent 2008 anthology, Dreaming Again, which was my second-ever short-story […]
At work, we run this regular feature called the Wednesday Night Writing Race. The theory behind it is simple: every Wednesday, around 8:00 PM, we get a bunch of writers together on Facebook, fire the starter’s gun, and let them write like there’s no tomorrow for 60 minutes. Essentially, it’s like a mini write-club for […]
So, I’m hanging out the Gone Fishing shingle again. I set out to write 25,000 words on my five days off last week. My total was closer to 20,000, which means there’s still a ways to go if I want to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat this month and hit my 50k total. I […]
I woke up this morning to find the publisher’s notes for Crusade in my email. I’ve got a week to go through things and get it back to the fine folks at Apocalypse Ink, then they go and do their arcane voodoo that transform it from a word file to a books. The e-book for […]
ANNOUNCEMENT ONE: FROST I’m a few days behind on this one, but I have a new book out in the world and it is a sexy, sexy beast. I mean, take a look. It’s book two of the Flotsam trilogy, which kicked off with the release of Exile a few moths back, and will end […]
