Criminy: it’s December! How the time has flown by this semester, even though I haven’t been in class. My sympathies to my colleagues knee-deep in exams and grading. I know how it feels — and couldn’t be happier that I am not. Sorry! But it’s true. NEWS: It’s a Curse: Drunk on the Moon, Book…

Talking Myth at Alt.Fiction
The fabulous Adele has worked her magic on the audio recording from Using Mythology in Writing panel from Alt.Fiction in June and it’s now up as a podcast at Un:Bound. I appear alongside Mark Chadbourn and Adrian Tchaikovsky. I recall that we had to come up with one true myth and one fake one and…
Soundcloud
A new way to spread sound — well, newish. It’s been getting a boost, mostly via other social media outlets and DJs. Of course now that people like me are starting to use it, the DJs are looking for something new. Way to suck the cool out, eh? My page at Soundcloud features things you…
Conceit: Ashes
Since Blogger has put the kibosh on FTP-fed blogs [no, don’t worry if you don’t know what that means] I had to kill Radio Wombat, home of my podcasts (though old posts remain because it’s on my webspace). But it made me realise I didn’t really need a separate place anyway. I can put podcasts…
Happy Solstice!
After the darkest night, the sun begins its return. It’s the start of winter but the beginning of the return of the light. Enjoy the season, a good time for contemplation. I hope to do a little more of that — not to mention writing — now that I’m ready to turn in grades. There’s…
Gothic Monday
Have you been keeping up with my serial novel blog, The Mangrove Legacy? As I contemplate ways to regularise my weekly schedule here, it strikes me that I don’t always remember to draw folks’ attention to the serial novel, which I update every Sunday night. If you like comic gothic shenanigans, you will probably enjoy…
Radio Wombat is Back!
Yes, after far too long I have made another itty bitty podcast for your delectation, part of a new series that wormed its way into my brain in the middle of the night. Yes, do take that as a caution. The series will be called “Conceit” (the literary kind, not the arrogant type although I…
Krampus Eve
Have you been good? Or will the Krampus whack you with his sticks — or put you in chains and take you off in his basket?
Owl Stretching
Pop over to Radio Wombat, the podcast blog, for the latest reading: Owl Stretching. It’s a snippet from the novel I’m revising at present. The name may or may not stay: Python fans will probably recognize it, but most people will find it obscure. It does have a purpose, but I’m guessing most publishers would…
Podcast: The Flea
I forgot to mention the latest podcast, my reading of John Donne’s “The Flea” — always a fave. Donne was witty and inventive. He could write with heartfelt love — or lust — and in the end found a troubled sense of faith. Great stuff. Oh, look at the snow coming down — it’s not…
