Now I ain’t great at advertising myself and what I’m doing because of history and because social media is mainly a personal information parasite and twitter done almost killed me, but I got something special coming up this here week on Friday 16th August the year of our sweet lord 2024.
I been putting together a lil collection of stories from local (Bris-bang-bang) authors and editing and sending emails and now this collection is ready to be sold to the world for money. Pride is a sin but I’m real chuffed at how it’s come together so ima do a brief little plug for it and invite you all to come celebrate with me.
So when I was a wee nerd I dreamed of puttin together a little magazine of stories about all the best stuff (ie wizards, aliens, robots, laser guns etc and very etc), it was going to be called ‘Weird Weekly’ (awful title, absolutely dogshit title but I was 6 years old). Now (couple of years ago) as a full grown man baby playing with my space toys, Sue from Tiny Owl Workshop commissioned me to put a little collection together and god darn it I filled it full of the best things.
The collection is called Far-Flung, and it is filled with sci-fi, fantasy and horror stories from Brisbane authors and all with a distinctly Brisbane flavour. We got vampires on the Sunshine coast, dystopian Ipswich hoverbike bikies, pub bouncers on the infernal plane, and bogans fighting teleporting dingoes. Just like fukn home.
The launch is at Avid Reader at 6pm on Friday 16th of organise and I would love to see your goddamn gorgeous asses on them seats. Throw things at me, make fun of my hair, give me nipple cripples and buy my damn book please.
Here dat link to the event (It’s free and I’m easy)
Aight advertising has made me fucking exhausted, also the two year old and two jobs and uni and just generally dealing with my own bullshit, Ima drink japanese whiskey and watch canadians play warhammer on youtube.
Peace
