I've been a little lazy about updating this news page, partly because a lot of my effort goes into maintaining the blog, and partly because there hasn't been much in the way of momentous news lately.
However, the copyedited manuscript for my first novel (still lacking a title, but rest assured my editor, my agent and I are all working on that thorny issue!) have arrived on my desk, and I am currently grovelling my way through every line, mining for misplaced commas and hacking out extraneous text.
At this stage, Allen & Unwin are envisaging a January 2009 publication date which, given the vagaries of the publishing calendar (I don't even pretend to understand how this works), should see the novel on shelves about a week before Christmas.

Some good news — I have signed with Curtis Brown Australia. They are the oldest literary agency in Australia, and a lovely bunch of people to boot. I'm thrilled to be represented by them.

My story, "The Wages of Salt", has been accepted for publication by PostScripts Magazine.
At this stage, it looks like the story will be appearing in late 2008. I'll let you know a firm date when I know one.
