5 Dynnyrne Rd for Sale - Not Haunted!

5 Dynnyrne Rd. Hobart TAS, 7005.

Fantastic 4-bedroom home. Sought-after Tasmanian location.

Has stood for over 100 years (sadly no centenary letter from the Queen), being one of the original Dynnyrne Station houses. Unlike the nearby whippersnappers built in the '50s and '60s, 5 Dynnyrne Rd has weathered the test of time and is a true 1915, federation-style original.

Not haunted! No ghosts, poltergeists or repeating spectral apparitions of any kind observed or reported in the past 20 years.

Protected from meteorite impacts!* Proximity to Hobart’s iconic Kunanyi/Mt Wellington means you’ll be shielded from extra-terrestrial debris, particularly from the northwest.

Well clear of predicted tsunami disaster zone. Be “that guy” posting videos of houses getting washed away while laughing quietly yourself and sipping the micro-brewed beverage of your choice, as any (standard-sized) tsunami steamrolls over Taroona, Sandy bay and Battery Point below.**

Calming Resonance Nexus. Built on rock-solid Jurassic dolerite in the year of the rabbit (by the Chinese calendar), owners of this house will enjoy the rabbit’s creativity and sensitivity, as well as the strength and sense of purpose inherent in Earth signs – or something like that … whatever.

Australia-wide internet upgrade

Connected to Super-fast National Broadband Network! If you’re yet to experience the wonders of Australia’s NBN, buy this home and enter an exhilarating realm beyond the limits of human imagination as you blast down the information superhighway at speeds your great-grandparents never dreamed possible.

Come take a look at this beautiful home. Open Saturday 15 December 2018.

You won’t be disappointed.***

*Meteorites must enter Earth’s atmosphere at an angle of no less than 15 degrees, approximately 170km to the west of Mt Wellington for total protection to apply.

**In case of an unexpectedly large tsunami, follow all SES instructions and seek higher ground.

***And if you are? Well, that’s on you.

Flies in the Soup: John Scalzi Part 2

Interview: John Scalzi Part 2 By Chris Large Interview first appeared in Aurealis #82. Welcome back John. At the moment your new book Lock In, [discussed in the last issue] is a standalone novel. Are you considering writing more in this world? Or is this it? No! I’d be happy to write more in this world if there was a desire from my publisher and from my audience. I don’t ever write anything but standalone novels. Old Man’s War was a standalone novel. I wrote that one book, right? And then it took off and my editor said, “You need to write another one,” and gave me some money. I said “Okay. I see how this works.” That’s how Old Man’s War became a series. Android’s Dream was supposed to be a series. I’d signed a contract for a second book but when I started writing it, it was terrible so I stopped doing that and wrote something else. So Lock In is currently a standalone book but if my publisher comes to me and says, “Yeah, I want you to write the second ...

Also -This CSFG Publishing Thing Happened...

CSFG Publishing provides Aussie spec fic writers with a semi-regular outlet for the expression of some pretty awesome ideas. Earlier this year I learned that one of my stories would be appearing in The Never Never Land - their latest anthology. They made me work for it though. And that's something I really appreciated about this process. A lot of publishers out there are happy to accept or reject your work, and a few will even offer a bit of free advice, but there aren't many who'll take the time to bring a slightly under-par story up to scratch. The reason for this is that working with authors can be difficult. We're a tricky bunch and some of us are protective of our babies. I'll be honest and come right out and say, I'm not. Frankly, I'll do anything to make a sale (within reason). Aside from writing something offensive, I will make any changes requested if a publisher shows even a skerrik of interest in my work. So that's the tale of my contrib...

Flies in the Soup: Thoraiya Dyer

Interview: Thoraiya Dyer By Chris Large Australian author Thoraiya Dyer spoke with me about her award-winning short story Wine, Women and Stars , her recent three book deal with Tor, the purpose of writing awards, and her no-holes-barred determination to put words to page. This interview first appeared in Aurealis #84. Welcome back to Aurealis Thoraiya, and a huge congratulations on winning your third Aurealis Award at the 2015 ceremony. You now have two awards for fantasy and a third for science fiction. In your own words you were ‘a bit weepy’ when you accepted the 2015 gong. What does it mean to you to win awards for your writing? I guess it depends on how confident you’re feeling in your skills at the time. I’ve been writing short fiction for a while now but also, in the background, I’ve been writing novels. The reason I was so weepy about that particular award was because last year my husband lost his job and the bank took our house, so we were fo...
