Garth Nix

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!

I have my adult SF novel MASSIF out in September. Cover reveal(s) soon. In the US, it's with HarperCollins. www.harpercollins.com/products/mas...

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!

I’m a big Powell-Pressburger fan, as so many people are. I just watched I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING (IKWIG) for the nth time the other day.

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!

Mannequin of my character Mister Fitz made by Sarah Vigars, guarding a silver champagne bowl full of ice and various drinks.

Snufkin is the only dog I’ve ever known to really use pillows. He drags them into place, moves them around, makes himself comfortable …

Scholastic US published the series in hardcover originally, there are second-hand copies around. Here, for example www.abebooks.com/servlet/Sear...

Katharine Kurtz CAMBER OF CULDI trilogy hardcovers, the UK Century edition with red spines.

In Wellington, NZ, for a long weekend. Lucky with the weather (sunny and not very windy) and lucky to find these three hardcovers (I have had the paperbacks for many years) in the Pegasus bookshop.

I had a green 1967 Berlina for several years in the early 90s, it cost more each year for upkeep and maintenance than it cost to buy … but when everything worked it was a great car 😀

It is probably not helpful for your brain to add that “snag” is also Australian slang for a sausage, e.g. “Pick up half a dozen snags from the butcher”
