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 […]

Publication: Salvage
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 […]
Eligible works 2019
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 […]

Coming soon: From a Shadow Grave
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 […]
Events: GeyserCon and Continuum
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 […]
