Over at orbitbooks.net I have a couple of words about Chaos Space.

Don't forget there is still time to book for my 'How to become a Professional Writer' workshop at the Logan Library this Saturday or the Chaos Space book launch on the 29th November.  

I don't think I've ever been a 'Notable Release' before so I figured it worth blogging.

Editing Mirror Space now for my December deadline - goodness me these characters got themselves into some situations - no wonder I'm exhausted!

You can read Mark's full review over at Walker of the Worlds.

Amanda Greenslade was the winner of the DS/CS competition. YAY! Amanda. I hope that means a review for Specusphere!

Well, review is a bit of an over-statement but Books Monthly had this to say: 'De Pierres is one of the best SF lady writers around at the moment, and Fedor is a character to die for. I really loved this.'

I'm so pleased to read this because with Mira Fedor I wanted to create a very different character from Parrish - in fact, I felt it was essential to do that. Naturally some people didn't relate to Mira as my new heroine (in comparison to P), she was so repressed initially, and eccentric, and formal. Her emergence into a person of strength and courage is a triumph over hardship and social programming. I hoped my readers would come through the reading experience feeling they could do that too.

Thank you to the brave souls who venutred to Logan last night - namely Nicky, Belinda, Kathleen and Janet. We didn't quite outnumber the audience but close! As Nicky said it was nice to have a chin wag anyway.
