monday podcast #1

A while back I was interviewed by Valerie at the Sydney Writers' Centre. The podcast and transcript are now available right here.

It's handy having a transcript because sometimes I forget what I've burbled on about. This time I can tell you with 100% confidence (and reveal via the tabs below) that we covered pretty much everything. :-)

monday podcast #2

My 70th published short story is now in the world--but not in the usual sense of "published". It's unavailable on paper or in any readable form. Instead, you have to put your feet up and listen to me read it to you. I hope that won't pose an unbearable inconvenience. :-)

Keith Stevenson has just posted an exclusive podcast containing "A Longing for the Dark" to Terra Incognita. You can download or stream audio direct from TISF, or source it from iTunes. Fresh, free, and available on a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 Australia License.

Note: the story is set in my Geodesica universe. If that's not a series you're familiar with, you can find out more at the Voyager blog, where the wonderful Natalie asked me to explain what it's all about. If you have read the books, this interview might still interest you. I talk about where the story originated and what challenges I set myself along the way.

"A Longing for the Dark" stands alone, so don't feel you have to sit through some tedious primer before starting. Just make a hot chocolate, close your eyes, and...

...enjoy!
