Interview: S. C. Flynn
I’m crossing the campus of Kakadu University to deliver my latest thesis draft to my advisor. He insisted on the topic of my doctoral research: I allow myself to be bitten or stung by Australia’s venomous creatures, and rate the pain from one to ten. Ants and wasps, centipedes and scorpions, snakes and spiders, jellyfish […]

Questions from MarzAat
MarzAat recently nominated me for a Liebster award. If you’re not familiar with Liebster: basically you answer ten questions, then forward ten questions to ten bloggers who impress you. I’m not going to forward the questions on, as some bloggers have grown tired of awards. Reference this graphic from Entertaining Stories: However, if you would […]

I walk along its walls, looking at carvings of fishermen using spears to catch some kind of cephalopod. I used to […]

Interview: C. S. Boyack
It’s midnight, and I’m standing in a snow-covered field, waiting for C. S. Boyack. Something howls in the distance. The light of the full moon reflecting off the snow is almost as bright as daylight. Almost. A man approaches, and I spot fur sticking out from the top of his jacket. This guy has definitely […]

Interview: Misha Burnett
Misha Burnett asked me to meet him at this riverboat casino. I’m taking shallow breaths to protect my lungs from cigarette smoke, but my sense of smell is shot. I can’t pick out sounds over the musical ringing and dinging of slot machines. I’m down two senses – is this a trap? I spot Misha, […]

Interview at SCy-Fy
I’ve just been interviewed at SCy-Fy. If you don’t follow that blog, you may not know that SCy-Fy has been interviewing a large number of science fiction and fantasy bloggers, podcasters, and booktubers. (Am I the only one who thinks that booktuber sounds like an edible delicacy?) If you don’t have time to read all […]
