Overdue post from the weekend, but thanks to everyone who made Supanova Gold Coast! Our artist neighbours, our author friends, our regular shoppers and the new faces who bought a book, and the wonderful volunteers who worked hard to look after the vendors upstairs despite the challenges.
🌸
It was lovely to meet @cyn.wren whose book sounds amazing! A no-spice fantasy about a woman who deals in lies - I'm intrigued, but also, look at that gorgeous cover?! Can't wait to get into it!

When you're meant to be packing for Supanova Gold Coast this weekend but have to stop to take pretty pictures of your sprayed edges!
🌸
I've had a rough couple of weeks and haven't felt like being on here very much because I haven't wanted to say "I'm sad because my Grandma died", knowing that's kind of a bummer thing to post about. But she did and I am, and actually, 90 years of life is too significant to let pass by without at least a mention. In my books I write about morally grey, difficult, unsympathetic and sometimes bitter parent and grandparent figures - looking right at you, Cassán and Arty - but I hope that, thanks to my very fierce and memorable grandmother, I write them with enough finesse and depth that readers can empathise with their reasons and appreciate them as flawed but still lovable humans. At 4ft tall, my Grandma had the ability to eviscerate a challenger within the first few seconds of verbal sparring, she could crochet a blanket even when blind, and she always called life like she saw it. Rest easy, Gma - you won't soon be forgotten!
🌸
Life continues, as we know, and this weekend I'll be at Supanova on the Gold Coast for my first convention with Mythos Unbound. If you're there, stop and say hi! I'm at table 269.

Why hello there! Nosy question time - what's your current read? Dream recently turned six but can't read yet because I'm a slack cat mum. This might be the year to start. But she enjoys sitting beside me while I read Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian.

I think my characters face more danger in a single chapter of Mythos Unbound than I've faced this week from Tropical Cyclone Alfred. I know some areas were hit a lot harder and are still waiting for their power to come back online - fingers crossed it's a short wait!

How was your cyclonic experience? Everyone else, what are you reading this weekend?

Confession time: name a book you bought so long ago you can't even remember, and still haven't read? Ash Princess has been on my TBR for YEARS and I have no recollection of picking this up at the store, but every time I read the blurb I feel excited to get to it. And... it stays on the TBR. Anyone read this who can nudge me to get started?

Happy Valentines! Your book bestie drags you out after your usual bedtime and too late you realise it's a speed dating event! Finn's there scoping out a monster, Evie's undercover, and Grady's charming the bartender into spilling details on their suspect, but they all answer your first question. Soon there's some sort of supernatural chaos and by the end of the night you're spattered in blood, waiting to be interviewed about your version of events. You brighten when you see who is coming over to question you - who is it?
🌸
Tag the galentine who dragged you out to this vampire nest. Congratulations, you both survived the third act action scene! Better luck next time on the dating front...

The difference two printing options can make! Last year I published Mythos Unbound through an offset printer in China, which allowed me to add gold foil to the cover and beautiful sprayed edges. Last week I received the author proof of Amazon's edition and thought my other author friends considering offset printing might appreciate a look at the difference. Both are matte soft paperbacks and come from the same base file (the offset one was adapted for a thinner spine and to add the foil elements). The 'Zon copy is brighter, but a little less crisp in its details, and each have their own velvety softness to the touch, though the Amazon one is more satisfyingly floppy. Paperback people know what I'm talking about. They're each lovely in their own ways.

Special editions (L) available via my website for Australian readers
Standard editions (R) available now via Amazon worldwide

Do you remember the first time you felt inspired? I was always creative but when I was about nine I watched Stargate for the first time and it gave me bad dreams for days. But the epic narrative, the high stakes, the science fiction possibilities, the mythology undertones, the sweeping Egyptian setting and THAT score combined to give me a feeling I couldn't put words to - and a desire to recreate that sense of awe, of being transported, of seeing something more behind the world. From then, I knew I wanted to be a storyteller, and when I write, it's this feeling I'm trying to connect to again.
🌸
I cannot wait to get into Faded Fragments by @mandikont which is the book of the month for @aus_nz_indiewritersbookclub 😍🥰 I heard the premise and setting and knew I needed it in my life.

Neighbourhood bookstores like these ones make author dreams like mine a reality so please support them in return.
🌸
Friends outside of Aus, you'll soon be able to order paperbacks from the 'Zon! Today has been "A Day" in which nothing technological has gone remotely my way - from the PC switching itself off while I was working on my thesis to over an hour of software malfunction while trying to export my manuscript for upload. I'm taking some time away from my desk to mindlessly scroll through pretty book photos before I have to get back to it. Wish me luck!

When the toddler won't nap so you miss your study session and your zoom meeting but she's happy demolishing a bookshelf so you've technically got time to set up a flatlay in the ruins. How's your day so far?

Haunted is the fourth book in my Elm Stone series and probably the darkest. My poor characters didn't know what was coming for them.
