a little fantasy * a little sci fi * a little love
Author R. R. Campbell and I are doing something interesting together. We're hosting guest blogs for each other. The one I wrote for his site is HERE. But here, at my place, Mr Campbell wants to talk about science and its role in his new book, Imminent Dawn. While the internet is changing the world …

As an Australian, there's something romantic about imagining Christmas in Winter. In my house, presents were exchanged on Christmas Eve as my parents were Polish and German migrants. Santa arrives a night earlier in Europe. Christmas Day would be spent on Torquay Beach, two hours drive from Melbourne. We'd grab a bucket of Kentucky Fried …

My guest post today is from author, Todd Allen Smith. In it he talks about a world so different to my own. I don't fear random mass murder in my country, and I've been very lucky in not fearing others who may be homophobic. But that's my world. Todd's story is one of strength and …

My guest blogger today is fellow NineStar Press author, Rian Durant, author of a new novella titled Midnight Twist. The story sounds whimsical. It's a short read about a contract made between Jaydon and a cheeky demon. Throw in an ever increasing number of demons in Jaydon's apartment and a gay relationship that needs some …

Three things happened in the past weeks. One involved film making, the others involved the challenges of social media. After much badgering from my younger work colleagues I finally joined Instagram. The odd thing is, I'm enjoying it more than I thought. My high school teacher friend groans about how we have several social platforms …

Both novellas are also available as ebooks (the first is only 99c). For purchase details - CLICK HERE or to read an excerpt and read reviews, CLICK HERE …
So, since my last blog on this topic, three things have happened. One, I've gone through my edits. Two, I'm a millimetre closer to casting my book trailer. And the third, well, I'll get to that. The editor I chose I worked with twice before. He edited the first edition of Nate and the New …
I never intended to write a sequel to Nate and the New Yorker but it wasn't up to me to make that decision. Somehow, Nate and his friends demanded a second outing. Originally I wrote the first novella because my publisher at the time pointed out that, regardless of the books many of us like …
