Celebrating F-SF & “The Heir of Night”: F-SF Author Guest Series
As part of celebrating the Australia/New Zealand launch of The Heir of Night tomorrow, Thursday 7, I am also launching a a series of guest posts by fellow F-SF authors, either from Australia/New Zealand or with a connection to Australia/New Zealand, on the topic of: “why F-SF rocks my world”.
These authors write in a variety of F-SF genres. I have provided a very broad brush indication of genre beside their name on the (current) blog schedule below—as well as each guest’s “country of origin”. To find out more information about these authors and their work, click on the writer’s name; this should take you to their website or blog.
I note that the schedule may be subject to change, since the series extends over several weeks, but I’ll be keeping to it if humanly possible—and will let you know here, on the blog, as soon as I know of any change.
But now—drum roll, off—here it is, The F-SF Guest Post Schedule (Unveiled!):
Friday 8: Alan Baxter (AU: Dark Fantasy)
Saturday 9: Nicole Murphy (AU: Paranormal Urban Fantasy)
Monday 11: Mary Victoria (NZ: Epic Fantasy)
Wednesday 13: Kim Falconer (AU: Epic Fantasy)
Thursday 14: Tracey O’Hara (AU: Paranormal Urban Fantasy)
Friday 15: Marianne de Pierres (AU: Science Fiction)
Saturday 16: Michael Pryor (AU: Fantasy YA)
Sunday 17: Tim Jones (NZ: Science Fiction, Fantasy)
Monday 18: Juliet Marillier (AU: Historical Fantasy)
Wednesday 20: Anne Hamilton (AU: Junior Fantasy)
Thursday 21: Julie Czerneda (CAN: Science Fiction, Fantasy. Although Canadian, Julie has lots of F-SF links to NZ, including being Guest of Honour at the National SFFANZ Convention last year.)

I hope you will support the F-SF series and these authors, who have very generously given their time and support to me and the launch of The Heir of Night.

And don’t forget that tomorrow is AU/NZ LAUNCH DAY–with GIVEAWAYS PLUS–right here on Helen Lowe on Anything Really! 🙂
What a fantastic line-up! I can’t wait to read all the posts.
It is a wonderful line-up and one that I hope blog visitors will really enjoy. And because I’ve already ready them I can assure you that the first two posts, by Alan Baxter and Nicole Murphy, absolutely rock! 🙂
Wow! A baker’s dozen. I’m looking forward to seeing all the different views.
My lucky number, I’m certain sure–although I may pop one in there just to even things up! I now have 3 posts in hand and I have to say—things are “shaping’ extremely well for a great series.
I will be going to your blog on a regular basis to keep up with the guest bloggers. It is an interesting topic and I suspect the views will be very diverse. I have read / meet / seen & heard about half the guest bloggers so I know it will be worth the effort.
Also, I am looking forward to getting my copy of “The Heir of Night”. I know someone who has read a review copy of “The Heir of Night” and liked it very much.
I hope you enjoy both The Heir of Night and the F-SF guest writer series, June—I look forward to seeing you here often over the next few weeks
Great authors! I adore Juliet Marillier’s books and I am looking forward to read all the posts! 😀
Giada, I think it’s going to be a fun series. And I can also tell you that Juliet Marillier is as lovely and generous in person as you might suspect from reading her books. 🙂
