Tamsyn Webb is back.
Bent but not broken by the world’s end, Tamsyn Webb battles the undead across the post-apocalyptic globe, with a bow in her hands and a smart comment on her lips. Forced to grow up fast in a world that wants her dead, she faces down hordes of rotting monsters, as well as the brutal survivors of this final age.
If she gets through all of that in one piece, it will be an arrow escape…
Since 2009, Tamsyn Webb has been alive in my head. What started off as a one-off novella turned into four, which then became a novel, and now lurches forwards into this new ongoing series, full of ZOMBIES and ACTION and one or two PUNS…
The brand new edition of Quiver has just gone live, and can be purchased either in print or via your favourite e-book seller. I’m super proud of this addition to Argonautica’s stable, with extra polish and a free sneak peek at the upcoming Volume 2: GO TO HELL.

Very excited that my story “Milk and Honey” has been selected for the Ecopunk! anthology. The brief was intriguing and I think I had half the story down within an hour. I look forward to sharing my tale of cloned Diprotodons, an inland Australian sea, and an alternative colonial future where WW1 never happened…

As a writer I like it down, dirty and weird, and it doesn’t get any weirder than the Cthulhu mythos. I was tapped on the shoulder a while back by Aussie writer and editor Christopher Sequira to submit to an Australian-themed Cthulhu anthology he was co-editing. I don’t think I’ve ever said yes to a project so fast!
These folks have attracted some great local writers and artists attached to this project, and the artwork that accompanies each story is simply outstanding. I was lucky enough to work with Shauna O’Meara who gave my story “The Dog Pit” one of the best illustrations I’ve ever had!
The project is getting its official launch at the Armageddon Expo, details as found below. Coming in at over 500 pages, I’m going to have to clear off a Cthulhu-sized space on my brag shelf.

August seems to be the time of year I crawl out from under my rock, put on a pair of pants and make some public appearances. This year being no exception, I shall be at the following events:
- Collins Booksellers, Edwardstown – National Bookshop Day (9th August , 1:30pm-2:30pm)
- Flinders University, Writers and Their Worlds – (21st August, 12pm)
- Dymocks, Adelaide (23rd August, 12pm)
At each of these events I’ll be selling the new print run of my zombie apocalypse novel “Quiver” (snazzy new cover as pictured below) and my short story collection “Everything is a Graveyard”. The Flinders University event is part of a series of intimate author talks, and I’m really looking forward to chatting to folks about my experiences with writing, dispense some hard-won advice, and generally chat about word-wrangling.
If you find yourself in the neighbourhood, drop by and say gudday!
