Current Mood: touched

The cool change FINALLY came through last night, so it's actually pleasant today. Yay!

*~*~*

"Rocking Hard" volume two will be out soon, and contains my story, "Capsicum Head." This is a novella length story about punk rock in Australia in the 80s, the band, Capsicum Head are the focus. I had a lot of fun writing this story, and I do hope that people who sign up for serial enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

And isn't that cover awesome? I really love it. "Capsicum Head" goes into serial in late August, so you have a while yet.

"Rocking Hard" volume 1 is already running, you can sign up for that one here. (It's half way down the page.) At the bottom of that page are the details of volume 2, which begins serialisation in April.

I have also been contracted for my vampire story, "Ice," which will be serialised on its own with Less Than Three Press. I'm very excited to be working with LT3 again, and look forward to seeing "Ice" available on site. I'll keep you up to date on that one.

Last but not least, a blog hop, to celebrate Less Than Three's fourth anniversary.

It's coming... soon. On March 13th, the Under the Southern Cross anthology will be out. Now you can preorder it from the DSP website, along with the individual novellas. Mix and match!

All our covers were done by the immensely talented Anne Cain. Here's mine with blurb, and then I will link all the things.

Blurb: In 1920, a body is found on Brighton Beach, Adelaide. Billy Liang has been living a respectable life as the representative of Adelaide’s Chinese community—with his lover, lawyer Tom Williams, discreetly at his side. When evidence seems to implicate the people Billy represents, he steps up to help solve the murder. He and Tom deal with illegal opium dens, fantan games and gambling, racism, and being shot at. Though Billy’s family accepts the love he and Tom share, Australia’s laws against sodomy and homosexuality pose a constant danger. Now, the body on the beach brings a whole new threat to Billy and Tom’s life in Adelaide.

Preorder here.

And here's the anthology: preorder page.

The other novellas:
Jasper and the Dead by RJ Astruc.
The Red Heart by Isabelle Rowan.
Whitewater by Meredith Shayne.

The release date is March 13, so less than a month to go!

So we have our covers for the "Under the Southern Cross" anthology and our individual stories. They are *sensational*. Anne Cain has really done a spectacular job on these.

"Under the Southern Cross" is an anthology of Australian stories by Australian authors set in Australia. As today is Australia Day, it's a good day to show you all the great covers we have for our work.

First up, the cover for the print anthology. The others are beneath the cut.

Such beautiful art. The collection is due for release in March.

Current Mood: pleased

I'm delighted to be able to announce that Dreamspinner Press has bought the collection of five Australian m/m romance stories.

I conceived the idea a while ago, and pitched it to my fellow authors and DSP, and everyone was excited and keen to be involved. Subsequently, we all got the contracts a few days ago, and so, Under the Southern Cross will be released in March 2013. I am delighted to be a part of this collection and honoured to be joined by Isabelle Rowan, Meredith Shayne, RJ Astruc and Robyn Walker. The collection covers historical, futuristic and contemporary, and sci-fic, horror, dystopia, mystery and drama. The stories will be published as individual novellas and grouped in a paperback anthology - more details to come.

I - and my colleagues and fellow authors - will no doubt be talking about this some more, especially when the release date gets closer. But in the interim, I'm just thrilled to be able to announce that it's coming.

And for those who are wondering, the Southern Cross is a constellation, it's also the stars on our flag. :)
