Last week I posted on having made the shortlist<\/a> for the 2014 Sir Julius Vogel Award <\/a>for \u201cServices to Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror.<\/strong>\u201d I also posted the citation, which includes mention of my \u201c\u2026 blog and \u2026 space in SF Signal and [my] presence at events to inform the world\u201d <\/em>of New Zealand SFF.<\/p>\n

For those who might be interested to find out more in one easy post ;-), yesterday I collated my interviews with other NZ speculative fiction writers<\/a>. Today I’m focusing on NZ SFF guests (posts) I’ve hosted here on the “…on Anything, Really”<\/em> blog. Again, these are listed chronologically from the oldest post to the most recent in each category:<\/p>\n

The Heir Of Night<\/em> Guest Author Series:<\/h3>\n

Mary Victoria<\/a>
\nTim Jones<\/a> — Tim’s guest post was subsequently refeatured on io9<\/a>
\nJuliet Marillier<\/a>
\nJames Norcliffe<\/a><\/p>\n

Authors With Book Releases:<\/h3>\n

Ripley Patton: Ghost Hand & “Why This Story”<\/a>
\nRipley Patton: “Becoming Olivia Black — Character In Ghost Hand”<\/a>
\nAimee Salter: Breakable & “Why This Story”<\/a>
\nFreya Robertson: “What Lies At The Heart Of Heartwood”<\/a><\/p>\n

Note: Ripley & Aimee have both since returned to the US, but at the time were active members of SpecFicNZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s SpecFicNZ:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>SpecFicNZ is the relatively new association of speculative authors who are either New Zealanders or resident in NZ. The “Here’sSpecFicNZ” series began as an opportunity for fellow Christchurch SpecFicNZ-ers to introduce themselves to my blog readers through a series focusing around the following headings:<\/p>\n

“Here\u2019s Who:<\/strong> a short, first person introduction to the member<\/em>
\n Here\u2019s Why:<\/strong> the member writes or works in speculative fiction<\/em>
\n Here\u2019s What:<\/strong> an example of the member\u2019s work<\/em>
\n Here\u2019s Where:<\/strong> links where readers could find out more about the writer and their work”<\/em><\/p>\n

Later in the year, another series focusing on Wellington featured. (And I do hope there may be more.) In both cases, SF Signal linked to several of the posts, opening them up to a wider, international audience.<\/p>\n

Christchurch:<\/h4>\n

Elizabeth Gatens<\/a>
\n<\/a>Kevin Berry<\/a>
\n<\/a>AJ Fitzwater<\/a>
\n<\/a>Cat Langford<\/a>
\n<\/a>Beaulah Pragg<\/a>
\n<\/a>Gareth Renowden<\/a>
\n<\/a>Tim Stead<\/a><\/p>\n

Wellington:<\/h4>\n

Elizabeth Heritage<\/a>
\n<\/a>Sally McLennan<\/a>
\n<\/a>Eileen Mueller<\/a>
\n<\/a>Richard Parry<\/a>
\n<\/a>Dan Rabarts<\/a>
\n<\/a>Jonathan James Todd<\/a>
\n<\/a>Darusha Wehm<\/a><\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nAnd I think that’s pretty much it for the guest spots from fellow New Zealand speculative fiction writers, to date — although I hope there will be many more to come! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Next Up:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday I’ll look at “…on Anything, Really”<\/em> posts based specifically around NZ speculative fiction, at least one of which was linked to internationally and several of which have been “most-read” posts in their year.<\/p>\n

For Monday, I think a look at the “What I’m Reading” posts could be the go…<\/p>\n
