"Heated Rivalry" is all the buzz - but if you've read/watched it all and you're keen on something HR-adjacent, you might like my 5-novella Duo Ex Machina series - about musicians Milo and Frank and their unfortunate and unwelcome adventures with crime!

For The She-Wolf of Baker Street, I wrote a section where Audrey first met Ruby Stockton, the love of her life, to flesh out their relationship and the things that Audrey gained from knowing Ruby. It got edited out as it didn’t quite fit the flow, but here it is as a taster for The She-Wolf of Baker Street!

I’m so delighted to announce that my long out of print vampire novel, The Opposite of Life, has been re-released by Clan Destine Press as an ebook.
When it came out in 2007 it was praised by the likes of authors Kerry Greenwood (Phryne Fisher books) and Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse books).

Crafty @NarrelleMHarris crocheted a stress-relieving octopus and made me promise to give him a hug during the day. Very soothing.

Mmm @NarrelleMHarris baked some banana bread last night and it's delicious; just had some with the morning coffee. Interestingly it's vegan - made only with bananas, condensed coconut milk, and self-raising flour.

FYI @NarrelleMHarris and I have reviewed a bunch of Melbourne Fringe Festival shows - including one by some very funny New Zealanders dressed in banana costumes, taped to a wall. Yes, you read that right.

Hmm @NarrelleMHarris and I were pondering when there'll no longer be a new story involving the mushroom murders in the front page of The Age website. I reckon they can keep it going for at least two weeks.

That was a laugh - @NarrelleMHarris and I just saw the latest instalment of Sammy J's 50 Year Show (he does just one show every five years, with reappearances by previous cast members). Fun concept. Join us for the next one in 2028...

A reminder that @NarrelleMHarris and I have been reviewing shows in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Here's our second set of reviews: of Josie Long, Tabatha Booth (played by Frankie McNair), Mandy Nolan, and three edgy new UK comedians featured in the show New Order. Enjoy!

Went on Friday night with @NarrelleMHarris to see a Romanian movie, Kontinental '25, at the Melbourne International Film Festival. Intriguing film, a very slow burn as it follows a local bailiff in Cluj as she processes the death of a homeless man she was forced to move on from his temporary housing. Surreal at times, very moody. Also it has crap animatronic dinosaurs!

Just discussed the end of 2025 with @NarrelleMHarris and we both thought, in summary, we'd had a good year.
I did another big Eurail trip from London to Istanbul that went off well and produced a bunch of travel articles (oddly not exactly the ones I thought it'd produce, but what the hell). Also the cruise from Vietnam to Cambodia was interesting, even if cruises remain not my bag.
And I still enjoy pottering around Melbourne, writing in its libraries, eating in its cafes, etc. Ageing has its drawbacks, but life is not bad really.
In broader matters I can't say I'm entirely happy about the state of the world, but it was good to see Dutton's 'Temu Trump' act comprehensively knocked back by the Australian people in our federal election this year.
How's your 2025 been? Good or bad or a bit of both?

Ha, I said this morning to @NarrelleMHarris that this would happen - never set up a populist win for a Premier in an election year and expect her not to take it. :)

Saw Better Man (the Robbie Williams biopic) at Cinema Nova today with @NarrelleMHarris. What a great movie, lots of excellent cinematography and the seemingly strange idea of depicting Williams as a chimpanzee works really well. Recommended.

This is cool - the artificial island next to Docklands Library now has a nesting black swan in residence. I anticipate going "Awwww" at too-cute cygnets soon. Possibly followed by running from an aggrieved parent swan (shades of the PG Wodehouse short story, Jeeves and the Impending Doom!).

Just gave a donation to this sloth sanctuary in Suriname, which I saw featured on Simon Reeve's new BBC TV show covering South America. A worthy cause, if you're looking for one.

We had an intense yodeller at the Switzerland Tourism lunch yesterday. In this bit she set a coin circling endlessly inside a bowl and used that tone as a cue.
(On watching this, @NarrelleMHarris asked if it had summoned up a demon. It did not.)

Anyone else going to the Clunes Booktown Festival this weekend? Might see you there. @NarrelleMHarris and I are attending the Speculative Fiction panel tomorrow at 2pm.

New at my Patreon... I happened across the above snapshot taken in San Diego's Comic-Con Museum in 2022. You may notice something rather unusual about the badges @NarrelleMHarris is wearing on her T-shirt, as did I. But I couldn't remember how she came by them, so I asked her:

Visiting Bran today. Reached here of course in a carriage driven by a sinister stranger and drawn by coal-black horses.
(Or actually via Uber.)
