Hiatus

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

Clearly, I ain’t cut out for blogging.
I’ll be popping on, from time to time, if I have anything significant to share but I’m otherwise caught up with the new book.
Keep out of trouble…

Updates

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Well folks, the world’s worst blogger’s back with more hi-jinks and japeries:
A couple of things to share. Last week a couple of friends told me they heard a radio review of the book. It was played on Radio National’s ‘Book Show’. (You can click here for the audio.) Secondly, there’s a new online interview posted at Specuspere. […]

A.H.

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

A friend emailed me today with a link to a fascinating site. Basically, a massive forum discussing a plethora of alternate histories. He sent it to me because there was a thread discussing my book.

Faster than Light

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

I was just notified that another radio interview is available online. Apart from the fact that I talk too fast, and sound like I’m talking to the guy through a tin can attached to a string, it ain’t too bad. You’ll find it here.
On other fronts, the book has been selected for certain Christmas gift […]

What is it about Doctors and Icebergs?

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

Just saw the season finale of Doctor Who, and without giving anything away, the last 60 seconds were a lead up to the show’s Christmas special.
The scene featured the prow of a gigantic ocean liner tearing apart the Doctor’s time machine. Then a life preserver falls at his feet bearing the legend, ‘S.S. Titanic’.
The title of […]
