Audio gd

The good people at Interzone are thinking about releasing audio versions of a few stories, including “Knowledge.” I’m having a stab at reading it myself, which is much harder than I thought. I have a bit of a stammering tendency. We’ll have to see how it turns out. Anyway, I’ll let you all know when it’s available.

Interzone Reader’s Poll

“Knowledge” came second in the Interzone Readers Poll for 2007. I’m so thrilled that so many people liked it. Now I’ve got to finish some more stories…
Here’s the full list:

Somebody thought…

I should have been nominated for a Hugo. There’s a little review of “Knowledge” here on Sam Tomaino’s Hugo recommendations on SFRevu.

Snapshot 2007

Belatedly, here’s a link to an interview I did last year as part of a snapshot of Australian sf.

Interzone online edition

Interzone is available online on Fictionwise. You can buy a whole issue for just USD5, which I reckon is a pretty good deal. Here’s a link for issue 211, the one which includes my story “Knowledge.”

Buying The Silver Road

People have been asking me where they can buy The Silver Road. Well, in Australia, you can of course just order it at any bookshop, and if you’re overseas I recommend this website: www.abebooks.com. They list books from many bookshops around the world. However, if you’re outside Australia, you’ll end up paying heaps because it has only been published here. One shop was selling copies for US$67!

Boing!

The Silver Road has been reviewed on Boingboing by Alice Taylor. Here’s the link:

Interzone

I just received my copy of Interzone issue 211 which includes my story “Knowledge.” It has fairly spiffy artwork, which you can see online at http://scifi.uk.com/2007/06/22/interzone-211-contents-michael-moorcock-richard-morgan/. It was published last month and took a while to come to me because they had my old address. I haven’t got my hands on an Interzone for a few years so I’m looking forward to checking it out.
A quick Google for reviews reveals two bloggers who liked it, one who didn’t. I can live with that ratio.

Ditmar Nomination

Hi all,
The Silver Road has been nominated for a Ditmar for Best Novel. The Ditmars (otherwise known as the Australian Science Fiction Achievement Awards), are voted by the members of the National SF Convention, which this year happens to be Convergence in Melbourne in June. I won’t be there, so I now have the fun task of choosing a proxy to either give a speech or look disappointed on my behalf. How delightful for them!

Somewhere in Central Queensland

Hi all,
My story is now up at Strange Horizons. Actually, it’s been up for a couple of weeks but I am a lazy website-updater as I’m sure you know. Anyway, here’s the link, hope you enjoy it:
