Earlier this year I performed a reading at the launch of a new Adelaide "literary salon" called Wordfire. I decided to read from Saturn Returns, as I had in Brisbane while high on painkillers. Scott Westerfeld commented after that reading that I had balls, and I'm still not sure if he was referring to the drugs or the content of the piece...

Anyway, here it is, out on the web for the first time. Enjoy.

(PS. This bit comes from the very start of the novel, when I'm still setting things up--both the world the story's set in and the general tone--and I was trying to find new ways to infodump. I sincerely hope it works for readers, on every level.)
