It’s been another year, and I’ve even managed to publish some things! If I had to select works to highlight, I would choose my first novel, Sanctuary, and my urban-fantasy short story “If We Do Not Fly at Sunset” (Lightspeed). I would be honoured if you considered these when making award nominations. Here’s the full […]
I have a new short story out: “Salvage” is in Issue 98 of takahē magazine. I’ve been playing with the elements that became this story for a few years now (the ship with the sewing machines is partially true), and finally worked out what I needed to do to bring it together. I’m delighted that […]
It’s that time of year again. I had two original works published in 2019, and to the best of my knowledge they are both eligible for the Hugo/Nebula/Sir Julius Vogel awards. From A Shadow Grave (Paper Road Press) is a novella of approximately 22 000 words. It’s most easily classified as fantasy – though it […]
I’m excited to be launching From a Shadow Grave at the end of the month. The launch will be held at Vic Books Pipitea, Wellington, on 31st October, at 5:30pm. If you’re in Wellington I’d love to see you there. It will be a joint launch with the Year’s Best Aotearoa New Zealand Science Fiction […]
My short story “Henrietta and the End of the Line” is in the very first issue of Translunar Travelers Lounge. It’s the story of a part-lizard girl who lives on a squid train, and what happens when something you’ve been running from finally catches up with you. TTL is a new publication focused on fun […]

It’s reprint time! “Girls Who Do Not Drown”, originally published in Apex, will be included in Year’s Best Aotearoa New Zealand Science Fiction & Fantasy: Volume I. I’m really excited to share space with some excellent writers – and some of my favourite people – and to be in a book with this wonderful cover […]
I’m delighted to announce another short story sale: “Even the Clearest Water” to Fireside Magazine. Fireside was absolutely one of my target markets, and I was very happy to get an acceptance from them. “Even the Clearest Water” is a story about water fae, autistic families, bargains, and love. You’ll be able to read it […]
I’m excited to announce my upcoming novella release. From A Shadow Grave will be published this October by Paper Road Press. From a Shadow Grave is inspired by the story of a true crime: the murder of seventeen-year-old Phyllis Symons, whose ghost is still said to haunt Wellington’s Mount Victoria tunnel. It’s the story of […]
Tomorrow I’m heading off on a multi-city trip, including two conventions in two weekends: GeyserCon in Rotorua and Continuum in Melbourne. Here’s where (other than the bar) to find me: At GeyserCon I’ll be talking about socio-political themes in SFF on the Handmaids and Other Tales panel (Saturday 1 June, 2:00-3:00pm). I’ll also be at […]
It’s been a while since I sold a new short – I’ve been mostly focused on longer works this year – so I’m delighted to announce that “Henrietta and the End of the Line” will be published in Translunar Travelers Lounge, a new publication which explores the fun side of SFF. The story is about […]
