I am delighted to announce that a reprint of my story Tasmanian Devils has been included in volume one of Dark Tas, an anthology of dark fiction set in Tasmania by authors living in, or with strong connections to, Tasmania.
Dark Tas: Volume 1 is available in paperback and ebook on all Amazon sites.
Everil Worrell was a frequent contributor to the legendary Weird Tales magazine from the 1920s through to the 1950s, and yet a collection of her work had never been compiled. Until now.
Call Not Their Names is a collection of 14 of her weird and wonderful stories. Some are horror, some science fiction, all are marvelously strange.
Available now in paperback from Amazon, and soon through other retailers.
It is with delight I announce the publication of two new short stories by me in Trickster’s Treats #2 from Things in the Well Publications. Here, you can read my stories Worst House in the Street and Poke, as well as 32 other all-new offerings. What better way to celebrate the Halloween season?
All proceeds from the anthology go to Women’s Community Shelters Ltd. Buy links can be found HERE Available in paperback and for Kindle.
The shortlists for the 2017 Australian Shadows Awards have been selected. I’m pleased to say Midnight Echo #12, which includes my story Effigia Malo, is up for contention in the best edited work category.

I was a judge for the novel category, and I can tell you, the amount and variety of dark fiction coming out of Australasia is amazing!

I love graphic tees, which is abundantly clear when you look in my wardrobe. So, it was a natural progression to decide to produce some t-shirts of my own. I found a host site to launch my store on and started loading up some designs. It’s been a lot of fun. I’m going to have to buy some of these for myself!

I hope everyone has had a safe and happy start to 2017. My goal is to do lots more writing this year, and release multiple titles.
I’m off to a good start. Today I finished the first draft of my first paranormal romance novella. It will need work, of course, but it’s been in development for a long time. I’ve based it (extremely loosely) on the lyrics to the song Scar On The Sky, with which it will share the title. If a fallen angel romance appeals to you, keep an eye out for further news on the project.
I have about ten other projects on the go as well. A few are side projects but if I get them all done this year it will be a real achievement. I also have a feeling I will be starting at least a few more new books in the coming months.
What would you like to see more of from me this year? More romance? More horror? Something else? Suggestions are always welcome.
I am excited to announce the launch of the all new anthology Hell’s Bells, a collection of festive ghost tales from the members of the Australian Horror Writers Association, including me! Some of the best writers in Australian horror are in this book. Get into the Christmas spirit… if you dare!
