I am SO EXCITED for my friends at Stirfire Studios. Their third game Freedom Fall has just been Greenlit for release on Steam.

Brilliant result for a talented Aussie endeavour which includes Brendan Ragan and Garth Pendergrast and fabulous game artist Lisa Rye, among others! Go team!

We interviewed Lisa Rye a while back.

And I didn’t say this … but there may be … could be … a project in the works between StirFire and MDP. But then that would telling secrets … and of course I could be wrong … and probably am …

Celebrate with this Aussie Indie game company and support them on this great news.

Vive L’Indies!!

Thought it was time to share how things are going with the next book! I’ll be delivering PEACEMAKER book one in December to Angry Robot, and it will be released next year. Will let you know publication date when it’s confirmed.

I’m loving writing in this world. It’s such an eclectic mix of genres and themes. This kind of story really frees my imagination.

It’s also brought me back into focus on the graphic novel second issue which is waiting to be produced. I’m thinking of running a very small Kickstarter to cover the costs of the artwork and then making it available free. What do you say to that?

Here’s a sample of Virgin looking out over the park that Gestalt artist Emily Smith drew for me a while back. I’d love your thoughts on it! I loved it at the time but I was looking for the slightly more realistic look that Brigitte’s art gave the story.

I’m hoping Emily will eventually be free to do some work on the series.
