The Hilarious And Epic Fails Of The Print Shop

Once upon a time there was a book… … not just any book, but a book written by an American author for a brand new Australian publisher using a system still unfamiliar to most. It was a good book, well-planned and well-written. The schedule was made months in advance. All…

What’s With The Rainbow Socks?

Ah, my beloved (be-holed) rainbow socks. They’ve been my Twitter avatar almost since the beginning. Which leaves a lot of people asking.. WHY??? Why is a sensible adult using rainbow socks for their public image? It’s actually kind of a sad story. Pull up a chair and I’ll tell you…

Worth A Watch – Killjoys

Worth a Watch – CHIEF KIM

I’ve never made it a habit to recommend shows, usually because I’m a few years behind, but I’ve decided to change this for a couple of reasons. First off, I’d like someone to fangrrl with over things I love. Second, I know people (especially my American readers) are looking for…

A Very Belated Birthday Post

Every year around my birthday I do a review post. Kind of like a New Year’s Resolutions thing, but evaluating my year and my schedule in my own time. This year’s post is running late but here it is… In the past year I’ve published one novel (DECOHERENCE came out…
