Also being launched is Guy Salvidge's novel Yellowcake Springs, winner of IP Picks 2011.

Welcome to Yellowcake Springs; a pristine, friendly, secure community of citizens involved in the maintenance of one of Western Australia’s CIQ Sinocorp nuclear reactor facilities. You have nothing to fear inside the heavily-guarded community, nestled in the quiet streets between the radiation Red Zone and the razor-wired fences. Raise a family. Go to the park. Watch the sun set between the cooling towers. Lament the desperate lives of the lost ones living in the darklands outside the community, where overpopulation and starvation have created a lawless world. Feel lucky. You belong to CIQ Sinocorp now.

  1. A spirit trapped ina stained glass window. COOL! Somebody once asked me what I'd do with a million dollars if I couldn't travel, and I told them I'd replace every window in my house with stained glass ones. I'd need bilbies, waratahs, Morgan la Fay and the mermaid stained glass window from Harry Potter for starters :D

    Have a fantastic launch, and clearly I must have the anthology :)

  5. Sold!

    As soon as I work out how to turn these cheques from US and UK banks into actual real money. If an overseas publisher ever says "Your cheque is in the mail," you should immediately say NO NO NO!

  6. Good luck with the cheques. And thanks. My first and only US sale was paid for in US stamps, not quite enough to buy Winds of Change though :) But 13 years later, I still have most of them.
