Bio
I am a writer. My most recently published novel, How to Ditch Your Fairy, is vastly silly and was so much fun to write that it should have been illegal. My next novel, Liar, will be out in October 2009. I’m currently writing a novel set in New York City in the 1930s, which involves having to wear 1930s-style clothes, listen to lots of Duke Ellington & Count Basie, and watch movies like The Thin Man and Easy Living and Jewel Robbery over and over. Not to mention learning how to lindy hop. Oh, how I suffer!
I am also the author of the Magic or Madness trilogy. I’ve edited a scholarly collection of feminist science fiction in the twentieth century, Daughters of Earth and a scholary tome, the Battle of The Sexes in Science Fiction.
I’ve written a short film about the legend of King Midas, as well as essays on American science fiction culture in the 1940s and 1950s, with detours into Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the occasional short story. I co-wrote a radio show about relationship breakups with Ellen Kushner.
I am a Sydney girl. Though I have lived in other parts of Australia, courtesy of my anthropologist parents, including Newcastle, Canberra, and two small Aboriginal settlements in the Northern Territory. The world has always seemed an odd and fascinating place to me.
