Garth Nix

Which Amazon site and when? There was briefly a problem in the UK in 2023 but it was fixed. Also I can’t see any recent reviews concerning a problem on either Amazon.com, .co.uk or .com.au

The confusion of YA (literally “young adult” not “old children”) with children’s creates many misunderstandings and confusions.

The Amazon details for MASSIF, listing it as #4 in "Fractal Mathematics" (WTF?), #15 in "Colonization Science Fiction" (OK, sort of), and #48 in "Sea Adventure Fiction (Books)" I mean, maybe some of the same vibe, but it's all in space or on a mountain range "ship", or a planet. There are ponds, but . . .

Amazon sub-category bestseller lists continue to make me shake my head in wonderment. This is for MASSIF, an SF novel with no fractal mathematics or sea adventures.
(I should check back on the UK site to see if THE LEFT-HANDED BOOKSELLERS OF LONDON is still on the "London Travel Guides" list 😀

Three covers of my novel MASSIF. The UK and Australian ones have a photo-realistic approach, the US one is illustrative. All feature a seated figure looking up at a mountain range ascending into space. US cover illustration by Matt Griffon. UK cover by blacksheep.

Cover reveal time!
An adult science fiction novel tinged with horror, about the crew of a small warship in a relatively near future where humans hitch rides to the stars on sentient star-faring mountain ranges called Massifs.
Can be pre-ordered at the usual places, *please* do so. Thank you.

Mind you, that said, I think (immodestly) that I would have loved it at 16-17 or so. On the way that many or perhaps even most later teens read adult novels, particularly in genre. I’m glad you enjoyed it, Gili!

Yes, adult SF.

List of 48 books, starting with "Very Clever Baby's First Reader" which was an eight page humorous card-sized book which came out in 1988, going on to "Massif", which is a 100K words long SF novel out in September 2026.

Every now and then when I think I'm not making enough progress on a book, I look back at my list of published books and consider that I've had this same thought with every single one of them. (Even the short or very short ones. Getting them right takes time.)

Thanks!

Autocorrect at work there, I see 😀

Hi Rae I appreciate your support of the books. There have been several different scripts (feature film, series) written for different studios/streamers at different times, all co-written by me and another screenwriter, and this is the plan for the future whenever we next get it set up.

So AI provides unreliable information, creates mediocre work, enriches billionaires at everyone else’s cost, was created by plagiarism, and is environmentally completely unsustainable. But other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?

The Aurealis Awards ceremony is taking place THIS SATURDAY as part of GenreCon in Brisbane. With a beautiful venue, and hosted by the always engaging Eugen Bacon, it's shaping up to be a great night, and if you can make it in person, you absolutely won't regret it!

I think that got fixed in later printings, but it's always good to have them pointed out, just in case. Thanks.

Most of your questions are of the kind I'd only address if I thought it was necessary in a further story, I'm sorry. Some you can infer from the novel, or decide for yourself. The setting is a kind of cross between Sydney and Seattle without being either one. There wasn't any cut content.

I can’t guarantee I’ll answer, often I prefer to leave things unexplained save what’s in the novel (and there is a short set in that world in Ellen Datlow’s AFTER anthology). But I might, so ask away 😀

We are so excited to reveal the cover for ALL HALLOWS’ EVE! 🕸️

Horror legend Ellen Datlow presents this chilling anthology of 19 original short stories from a world-class line-up of authors, delving into the histories and traditions of the spookiest season of the year…

Coming September 2026 🎃

Two gold-rimmed glasses on a kitchen island, with some cooking prep behind. A gin and tonic and an Americano (the cocktail, not the coffee).

A hard-earned Americano, and a G&T, at the end of the week. In gold-rimmed glasses from Murano.

Good plan!

I also rewatched A CANTERBURY TALE, which hadn't been one of my favourites of theirs, but now I rate it more highly (amongst the pantheon). All the Powell-Pressburger films bear rewatching at different times of life. Enjoy!

As long as it is totally non-commercial I’m very happy with people running LARPs, RPGs etc based on any of my books. Have fun!
