I have now started book thirteen and am getting through it at an alarming rate. In the meantime, the publisher is currently looking at trilogy number three so there should be some news on that front within the next month or so. Here is a picture of me aged five, playing with a snake. I… {read more}
Today I adopted a new rat, who I have named Puzzle. Here is a picture of him looking nervous in his new cage. On a related note, this is my current backdrop. Most people would probably find this picture horrifying, but to me it’s the equivalent of a basket of fuzzy kittens. There’s no accounting… {read more}
Today I finished book twelve, The Serpent’s Bite, which is the final installment of the Eastern Horizon trilogy, aka trilogy number four. I finished it in about two and a half months, which is pretty good by my standards. It clocked in at 120, 618 words and 208 pages, though of course that might change… {read more}
So April is over, and the cons are done with, and I can finally rest – and do some writing again, which is just as well, because the substantive edit for The Shadow’s Heart is due back this month. Three cons. Two Supanovas, and a Conflux/Natcon to follow. How do I sum it all up?… {read more}
So the Adelaide ComicCon is now over, and I’m home recuperating. And I can now happily say that I’ve been to every Australian capital city at least once – and I admit that’s actually why I chose to go to the Adelaide ComicCon; because I’d never been to Adelaide before. I had a really good… {read more}
As a quick glance at the menu bar will show, I have just added a new page to the site which provides a handy-dandy list of all my upcoming public appearances. It should make things a bit easier for people. I have not had a very good day. My shiny new laptop turned out to… {read more}
Today I watched Cloud Atlas. It’s one of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever seen, and I don’t just mean that it looks good (although it does). If you watch any movie this year, watch it. ~KJT, enjoying her new laptop.
…that the Welsh name for Wales is “Cymru”? And no, I did not know that when I named my country “Cymria” – it’s pure coincidence. I made the word “Cymria” up because I wanted something short, simple, and easy to pronounce. I will admit I briefly considered lying about it being a coincidence to make… {read more}
Today I watched Beautiful Creatures, the movie. It was a lot like Twilight, except that it was much better in just about every way. I can’t comment on how good of an adaptation it was because I haven’t read the books, but I certainly liked the movie. ~KJT, preparing to start book 12 and waiting… {read more}
I hate Valentine’s day. Always have. I’m not sure exactly why, since I’m a bit of a romantic at heart and normally seeing happy couples together makes me go “aw” and feel a bit wistful. Nevertheless, in the spirit of the occasion, here is a link to one of my favourite love songs from highschool.… {read more}
