Marianne de Pierres' Journal

Concept SciFi's ezine is out with my interview in it. Thanks to Gary Reynolds who is gradually putting together a wonderful resource on the CSF website.

And for lovers of fine speculative literature Parrish's Patch has an exclusive sample of Kim Westwood's newly released novel Daughters of Moab. The chapter will be on the Patch for one month only and will be posted in the next few days.

 

 

The Periphery anthology continues to garner great reviews. Here's a five star one from Rainbow Reviews and more from Our Chart and Hipster Bookclub. Lynne's done a great job.

Notorious Women

 20-Aug-2008

I'm reading a book entitled The World's Most Notorious Women. Delicious! I can feel a character coming on me for another series.

I'm still waiting to hear back from overseas agents about Burn Bright. Meantime it looks like Sentients will be presented to US publishers at a showcase at WFC in October.

Opals to beat USA by 4 points in Olympic grand final (if Penny Taylor plays!). 

Not sure what happened to the ten days since I last blogged. Full of family things mainly; school formal, trainings, job searching for my oldest.

Mirror Space chugs along and I find myself getting to know the minor characters more intimately. Great fun discovering what they're really like, what deviant habits they develop.

p.s. A little whisper: I just signed the option agreement today for Stalking Daylight my SF movie project. I'm putting it in the post to my co-writer Lynne Jamneck and once she's signed it we'll be putting out a press release with all the details. Coolio or what?
