Coming up soon is the Salisbury Writers Festival. They always put on a great show with lots of contests, seminars, and workshops. Some years back I won their 3 Day Novel Race, which was great fun to enter. This year it’s my great pleasure to be appearing on the following panel during their Writers Forum day:
12:50pm PANEL OF WRITERS: Speculative Fiction Unleashed
John Harvey Gallery
Three award winning speculative fiction writers will share stories about how their careers developed, the successes and the difficulties, dealing with publishers, finding markets, the opportunities, the advantages and the challenges of writing speculative fiction in South Australia.
- Sean Williams
- Tony Shillitoe
- Jason Fischer
More details on the following link. There’s a tonne of great stuff happening on the day, so why not come along? They’ve done a great job with this program lineup, so you’ll definitely get value from the day.

Hey folks!
Way back in 2004, I was lucky enough to have my first short story published by Antipodean SF. I’ve always been grateful to Ion Newcombe and AntiSF for that opportunity, and for the crazy ride that has followed since. So it’s an absolute pleasure to see one of my new collaborations grace its electronic pages. I’ve teamed up with the talented Martin Livings (also an AntiSF alumni) and the result was “Art, Ink.”
Editor Ion Newcombe says “One of the best things about having edited AntiSF for such a long time is seeing authors travel on to bigger and better things. This month, two regular contributors (especially in times past) have collaborated to create a special story exclusively for publication at AntiSF — and they have done this just “for the love” of AntiSF.
Thanks Jason and Martin. Each of you has amassed an impressive list of publication credits, and I really appreciate you coming back home to make such a fine contribution to this ongoing project that is AntipodeanSF.”

Hey folks, hope you are all well. Life has been a bit crazy at Fisch Enterprises, so apologies for the paucity of updates on this site! Work, life, all that fun stuff 🙂 The writing is coming along in steady amounts – things are about to kick off on several fronts so easing into what will be a hectic workload for the rest of the year.
During the July school holidays, I’ll be doing some booksignings of “Quiver” during the school holidays (details below). Collins Booksellers have also added me to their roster for National Bookshop Day, with a bunch of local authors including Hannah Kent, Melanie Casey, Kathryn White, Janeen Brian, Katrina Germein, Peter Cooper, Ben Chandler and Jackie Barreau.
