Book proofs are always an exciting phase, and in my inbox this week appeared cuteness the doggy, standing guard over the proof of forthcoming anthology The Never Never Land. Put together with the tireless efforts of the folks at the Canberra Speculative Fiction Guild, it’s a collection inspired by this country and running into all the deep corners of science fiction, fantasy and horror.

My dark Pilbara-mining-gone-wrong tale The Seven-Forty from Paraburdoo is in there, along with a huge collection of other fabulous stories – see here for contents.

The anthology will be launching at Conflux 11, 5:30pm Sunday, 4th of October in the registration foyer, Novotel Canberra. Get along if you’re going to be at the con.
