New Gamebook: Dreamwalkers

The first four chapters of my latest branching narrative gamebook: Dreamwalkers are out on Tales: Choose Your Own Story and looking good. I'm enjoying writing this story on commission for Tales and have great hopes of getting all ten chapters out by May 2023.

The story is about a group of teens who find a way to visit one another's dreams, but (you guessed it) when their dreams turn to nightmares, some of them wind up dead. I'd describe it as the Goonies meets (the original) Flatliners.

Also, loving the cover art. It's so nice when publishers spend the time (and money) on artists who're able to capture the vibe of a project like this. I have no complaints about any of the covers or interior art they've created for my work so far.

New project

I've been working on a book of family-orientated children's stories, drawing on my experiences bringing up my kids as a single father. I asked AI to interpret one of the stories in art and it came up with this image (after a couple of dismal failures). It's actually a fair representation of the story. Now, to begin the daunting process of finding a publisher for this collection.

Flies in the Soup - John Scalzi

John was the second fly to fall in my soup. He's probably my all-time second-fave sci-fi writer after Douglas Adams, and since I can't talk to him anymore, chatting with Mr Scalzi was a big deal for me. Aurealis split the interview into 3 parts, the second of which was published on SoundCloud, but I'll load a transcript here as Part 2. Interview: John Scalzi Part 1 By Chris Large (Love this Picture) Hugo award winning author, president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (2010-2013), feminist and all-round super-powered good-guy John Scalzi spoke with me in this three-part interview in early 2015. Check out Part 1 below, originally published in Aurealis #81. John’s latest book, Lock In, is a near-future murder-mystery set against a backdrop of a world ravaged by a disease known as Haden’s Syndrome. Haden’s victims suffering from ‘lock in’ find themselves unable to move or communicate with those around them and must instead util...

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...
