I've
just been nominated in the Best Fan Writer
category of the Australian 2008 Ditmar Awards, for the
film reviews on this site. Members of the Natcon (Swancon
this year) get to vote. Unfortunately I won't be there
in person, but if any of you reading this are going,
you can check out the reviews here
and then vote for me with all due enthusiasm!
The most recent reviews are on this page.

I've
just been to Brisbane for the Aurealis Award
Ceremony for 2007 -- the annual awarding of
kudos to Australian speculative fiction writers -- where
I was presenter (and not a nominee) in the Horror Short
Fiction section. The Award went to Anna Tambour. Congrats,
Anna! Meanwhile my partner Cat Sparks won the Award
for Best SF Short Fiction for her story "Hollywood
Roadkill". She then went on to win the Golden Aurealis
Award -- the Best of the Best Convenors' selection --
for short fiction. She was suitably shocked! Pics here.

So far,
the Big Event of 2008 (from a purely biased POV, of
course) is the release of producer J.J. Abram and director
Matt Reeves' new giant monster film Cloverfield.
The first real US Godzilla? Read my
thoughts on the matter.
