Burnt Snow, my first novel, was released in 2010 by Pan MacMillan Australia. White Rain, the sequel, is due soon. As part of a trilogy about witches, earth magic, curses, love and revenge, this blog archives my research into the world of the witches - as well as my own magical saga as a new author.

Shanghaied!

Why, hello!

The weeks have flown... and so have I. I've been in Shanghai doing some research for my post-The Book of the Witch books book, Robot 9. Why robots? Why Shanghai? Just look at this:

You look at this and tell me how NOT to write about hot robots in this magical city.

Fear not, Book of the Witch fans, White Rain is coming, coming, coming... Waiting for the editorial report at the end of this month... so just enjoying the quiet between storms and enjoying thinking robots before I'm witchariffic again at the end of this month.

In the meantime, I'm cataloguing all of my photographs of beautiful Shanghai now that I'm back home in London. Stay tuned for some great photos of How It Is Or As You Like It in Sydney, and the rumour that I may be doing an opera in the UK soon...
