What I’ve been up to…
Ξ June 1st, 2009 | → | ∇ Uncategorized |
Quick note to say hi and thank everyone for their recent emails. I’ve recently given some public talks at libraries and have some more coming up, and it’s been great to chat to readers and people interested in writing.
I’ve been very busy lately with a few projects on the go:
LIQUID GOLD, which is the 4th Lachlan Fox thriller, will be available in Aus and NZ this August. One more minor edit ahead, then it’s done. I’ve signed on with Hachette for two more in the series, appearing 2010 and 2011, and as happy as I am with LIQUID GOLD, I’m really excited about Fox 5… if the opening chapter is anything to go by!
ALONE, my first novel for a Young Adult audience, will be published in March 2010 by Hachette in Aus and NZ. There will be two sequels, both published within 12 months, and I’ll post more info soon (as well as a dedicated website).
THE COPPER BRACELET. I mentioned this earlier, and If you search around the internet you will find information becoming available. It’s a serialised thriller, a sequel to THE CHOPIN MANUSCRIPT, and I wrote the penultimate chapter which Jeffery Deaver followed with some great twists.
I continue to get questions in person and via email about getting novels published. I will work a new page into this website over the coming months with some tips, as well as streamlining and updating the FAQ section, which we do every year with each new site design. In the meantime, below are some sites that you might find interesting, most with a YA theme:
