Today, at about 2pm in my favourite cafe, I finally completed book eight, The Silent Guard! Book two of the third trilogy, The Southern Star. Now I suppose it’s on to book nine, which doesn’t have a title yet. I think I’ll finish the short story I’m on first, though. And I just got the… {read more}
I knew about this some weeks ago, but now it’s been publicly announced I think it’s time I said something about it myself. Stephanie Smith, the head of Voyager and the lady who was instrumental in getting The Fallen Moon published in Australia, and following that The Risen Sun as well, has resigned.

I’ve always loved shapeshifters). It’s a YA series, but incredibly dark –… {read more}
Hey guys. That was a pretty cool mask, huh? I gotta get around to hanging it up. I also have to stop playing Skyrim until the small hours of the morning, but oh well. Anyway, the university semester is about to go back so I’ll soon be busy with studying again. Not as busy as… {read more}
And now for something more cheerful: some pictures of a cool ceremonial Northerner’s wolf mask I made! It even fits! It’s just too bad I forgot to put any eyeholes in it. Ah well.
Hey there everyone, and Happy Australia Day! There was a much longer posting here originally, but I have decided to remove it for decency’s sake. Basically, the short version was that I explained how Cymria, like my own country, was originally inhabited by a different race – until the ancestors of its current occupants arrived… {read more}
