My First Magic or Madness Interview

Daphne Lee of The Star (Malaysia) gave me a wonderful review a few weeks back. Today her interview with me is online. I’m introduced as the “most exciting fantasy writer to emerge from Australia since Garth Nix.” It’s not true—Margo Lanagan, anyone?—but it’s still pretty bloody cool.

    Yay, you! :) Are you excited about being *that* exciting?

  2. 2. Justine Says:

    I am indeed. Very. All agog, that’s me!

  3. David Moles Says:

    It was truly stupid of me to actually be surprised by this, under the circumstances, but my reaction to the interview: My God! Someone else has read The Magic Pudding!

    (Although I see there’s actually a US edition available at the moment. Not before time!)

  4. David Moles Says:

    Also, I love the fact that you lumped Conan in with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys.

  5. 5. Justine Says:

    David: Well, I was reading them at the exact same time so for me they go together. At the time I thought the Conan books were the funniest books I’d ever read. I couldn’t get enough of them. I’ve always meant to go back and re-read ‘em . . .

    Ah, The Magic Pudding does a finer book exist anywhere in the world?
