With a week to go until release, have a little teaser. Here we see what happened to the Empress after book one, and catch up with another familiar face. :) SUNSET OVER ABENDAU - Prologue The ship’s engines shut down, leaving a heavy silence. Averrine looked through her viewing port to the...

by the fab @Cathbad - and I'm pretty floored by it. In a good way. :) Cathbad's F&SF Short Story Blog: Sunset Over Abendau, by Jo Zebedee

For those not in Northern Ireland, this was my television interview a few weeks ago. In it I talk about my books and plans, writing inspirations and why you should never, ever start with a trilogy. :)

This is one of the two podcasts I did last weekend, about my approach to writing and life and what not. The Chrons gets lots of mentions! The Woman Who Toppled Star Wars - Stephen Gordon

I'm on the radio tomorrow talking about the places that inspired Inish Carraig (my Northern Irish based sci fi) It was recorded at the harbour John leaves for the prison on a wild, Atlantic storm day - totally appropriate for Inish - with the wind whipping my words away. (I also don't say...

This might belong in another thread, but here it goes. I just finished reading Jo's book. I recommend it to any of you fellow chroner's who haven't. Is was an engaging read from front to back.

finally have dotted my is and crossed my ts and can announce that my first fantasy book, Waters and the wild, will be coming out in 2017 with Inspired Quill. Waters is more literary than my sci fi work. It's set in the glens of Antrim (Game of Thrones country - the end scene takes place in the...

okay, what I'm hoping with this thread (that I'll link to regularly from fb and twitter) is to give a low down of what it's like to be an author at your first convention. I could have done it on my blog but community engagement is more fun, and some of the more experienced conners like @Teresa...

Jo agreed to be the first I interviewed for House On The Borderland a new SFF/H web-zine. Brave lass, that Jo. http://houseontheborderland.com/2015/09/20/author-interview-jo-zebedee/ (Thank you Jo!)

Excitement! Live on Kindle from today. Look Inside is working! Thanks as ever to all the Chronners for great support - you're all in the acknowledgements, some named and shamed - and if anyone preordered, hopefully you should have a shiny copy already delivered...

So, Inish Carraig launches on Friday and some of you have been chatting in fb and twitter about something for it. For those the concept is new to, the author turns up and answers questions and what not on some form of social media. At the moment I'm leaning to facebook because my family et al...
