“Just Arrived” & “What I’m Reading”: Blog Posts On New Zealand SFF Books And Writers
In terms of my recent Sir Julius Vogel Award nomination for Services to SFF, over the past few days I’ve looked at support for NZ speculative fiction and writers through interviews, guest posts, and articles. But I’m an avid reader as well as being a writer, so I was always going to feature books by other writers on this blog — and I have tried to actively include NZ books, as well as those by international authors.
I’ve featured the books in two ways, through my “Just Arrived” posts and the “What I’m Reading” series. For the purposes of this post, if a book also features under “What I’m Reading” (as opposed to in a subsequent interview or guest author post), then I have not linked to it under “Just Arrived”, below. Where a link is provided, some of the posts will have multiple book entries, so you may have to scroll down to see the NZ title.
Just Arrived:
Nalini Singh’s Archangel’s Consort
Random Static Press, Tales For Canterbury
Pip Ballantine & Tee Morris, Phoenix Rising: A Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences Novel
Mary Victoria, Oracle’s Fire
Rachael King, Red Rocks
Juliet Marillier, Shadowfell
Adam Christopher, Seven Wonders
Karen Healey, When We Wake
Phillip Mann, The Disestablishment Of Paradise
What I’m Reading:
Interactive Press, Voyagers: Science Fiction Poetry From New Zealand [anthology]
Mary Victoria, Tymon’s Flight
Karen Healey, Guardian Of The Dead
Random Static Press, A Foreign Country [anthology]
Mary Victoria, Samiha’s Song
Jennifer Fallon, Lion Of Senet
Joanna Orwin, Sacrifice
Fredrik Brouneous, The Prince Of Soul And The Lighthouse
Jane Higgins, The Bridge
KD Berry, Dragons Away
Juliet Marillier, Prickle Moon
Lee Murray, Battle Of The Birds
And that’s it: there’s probably a few more posts and reading recommendations squirrelled away in the blog backlist, but I think that’ll do to give the flavour of my approach to books and reading.
