So excited to see the first Trans Space review, particularly from The Falcata Times who’ve read all my books. Here’s a snip:

“It’s fast paced, the characters rounded and Marianne always has a trick up her sleeve to keep the reader guessing as to what’s going to happen as she cleverly manipulates what you’re seeing like a talented word magician.

It’s beautifully written, the dialogue is crisp and the pace is the thing that really keeps you glued to the last page as she knows how to excite and calm the reader down. Finally add a great overall plot to the tale and you know that it’s going to give you something a little special which makes this a serious series for a new generation that will continue to build as well as maintain a hard hitting pace. Great stuff from this antipodean author.”

– And here’s a link to an interview I did for The Courier Mail recently.

– IO9 have a great explanation of NASA’s announcement on their discovery about arsenic-based life.

– Stand by for an update on a live chat I’ll be doing for ASFFWA soon.

– Peacemaker sample has officially gone to my publishers. YAY!

So the cry goes out! You can join this new Facebook Group here; dedicated to influencing publishers to commission another Parrish Plessis novel. Started by fans for fans.

Webby love this week has brought this truly wonderful review of Glitter Rose from Walker of the Worlds, and an interview I’ve just done with The Fringe. There was also an interview floating around with a Cairns-based paper/magazine but I haven’t see that one.

Other than that, I’ve been working on Angel Arias and fiddling around with some other bits and pieces. I had a sudden urge today to read some biographical  background on Carlos Castaneda. I read his books years ago and for some inexplicable they threw themselves back at me today. I’m trusting this to be significant in some way and am running with it.

I think it might have something to do with where I’m taking the storyline of Peacemaker – which, btw, has gone back to my agent again. This time I’m hoping the sample is long enough to send on to my publisher. My narrative unveils a war between occult forces, and I think Castaneda is demanding face time in there somewhere. I’ll keep you posted. No doubt Mistress Muse will reveal all in due course.
