I'm SO excited to announce that my good mate Trent Jamieson has signed a three book deal with Orbit. The series 'Death Works': Death Most Definite, Managing Death, Business of Death will be out next year sometime. If you're looking for a reference point, then Jim Butcher's Dresden Files is the one to think of; only set in Australia. I feel like a had a personal hand in Trent taking this direction with his writing, so I'm lapping up his ecstatic karmic glow.

I'm blogging this from my Sydney hotel room where I am getting some work done before Supanova starts tomorrow. More to follow...
