Since all these things are out there, and since the one html thing I know how to do is link, I thought I’d put together a few of my appearances in various interwebbish media. As you’ll see, I needed the ‘etc’ in the title, since there’s quite a bit of variety here.
I’ll add more when Google tells me about them, but here’s a few to be going on with …
The First Time podcast
I make a guest appearance in which my Green Room* questions for other authors are put to me, with a couple of new questions added. (*My brief series for Radio National in which I asked authors questions based on what authors actually talk about in festival green rooms, rather than what we’re usually asked about in interviews.)

Talking with Carley and Dave at ‘Stuff and Things’ about stuff. And then things.
Mark reads Problems with a Girl and a Unicorn. Have you seen the ‘Mark Reads’ videos? If you haven’t you should. He’s an at times ruthless but also hilarious guy – I think he’s a literature professor from California – who reads and interpolates at will. Recently he took on my short story Problems with a Girl and a Unicorn. Here’s Part 1 followed by Part 2.
A few of my short stories have become short films and at least one of them’s on YouTube. It’s written and directed by Charlotte George, with whom I’m working on a World of Chickens film. In this case the short story is called The Goatflap Brothers and the House of Names, and the film is the House of Names. It stars Samuel Johnson as Cleveland and Kim Gyngell as Eleanor. It also comes as a Part 1 and a Part 2.
Two of my novels have become feature films, and both of them have trailers on YouTube. First there was the Brisbane-based 48 Shades, adapted from 48 Shades of Brown. Then Perfect Skin was shot in Italy as Solo un Padre.
