I adored Flight Behaviour. But it also made me really sad and frightened. But I like your upbeat ending. I hope you're right. I shared this on the Google Plus group 'Nature Themes in Literature'

What a lovely post. It's really interesting to hear about your experience of being deaf informs your writing. Wow, you really do a LOT of rewriting. The thought of rewriting an entire book twice in a different voice sounds agonising. I hope this one comes together for you.

Great post! I'm really interested by world-building and geological past is an element I had never considered. I think Frank Herbert's Dune is the most astonishing example of world-building I've ever seen.

Great list Kayleigh and welcome to the 6 degrees gang! I totally get the connection between Gone Girl & The Corrections - those books in which it's hard to decide which character you hate more. Although, I felt compassion for the characters in The Corrections, which I didn't feel for Flynn's characters. Thanks so much for playing. I hope you'll join us again next month. The chain starts with Evie Wyld's All the Birds, Singing but you can play even if you haven't read it.

Loved this interview. Rjurik's ideas are so beautifully expressed. I'll definitely be looking up his novel. Thanks!

"something is going to fall, somewhere, and the knock on effects of that fall will be impossible to predict. But something is going to give, somewhere, hard" - Part of me thinks this is true. And part of me wants to believe otherwise.

Well done, Sean, I'm yet to listen to your podcasts, though I always mean to, I'm just not in the habit of listening to podcasts, I know I'm missing out! I always enjoy reading your posts though, to keep up with what's going on in the Aus Spec-fic world. Congrats!

Ooh, stirring the pot here Sean! My first two novels are considered 'literary', my next two definitely fit into the spec-fic mold, but I believe they are still literary, in the sense that the quality of the prose is no different than in my first two books. I believe books can be both things, but I understand the long-term genre campers resenting the high and mightiness of literary authors poking in their territory without even understanding the lay of the land. I've always enjoyed reading well-written spec-fic and hope the boundaries between the genres will begin to soften. And I've submitted to The Canary Press!

Wow! That is quite a rave. Martin Shaw is also singing this book's praises and it seems to be getting lots of attention. Based on this review I'm encouraged to check it out despite the fact that I hardly ever read short stories, I must admit, it sounds pretty powerful and different.
