I’m full on editing at the moment. This little video is me finishing up another 30 minutes of editing in the early evening – time-lapsed to 30 seconds. Actually I got through a lot of work in the session. Yes, I really have no hair 😉 some people say I look like Moby.

Once Rotations is published, I’ll be focusing attention on my next novel. The Room is a full-length novel that grew from a flash fiction story – Don’t Sleep Downstairs, originally published at Flashes in the Dark.
This is the rough cover. I’ll do a little tinkering, but this is pretty close to what I’ll be running with. It should be out early 2012 – depending on when Rotations makes it to the shelves.
My sci-fi thriller Rotations has just come back from copyediting. Now I’ll be going through it changing, updating, deleting and, possibly, getting grumpy (as in “How dare she think I should delete that!”).
Right now I’m nearing the end of a round of edits on my next novel – The Room (more on that soon) – so in a couple of days I’ll put that aside and get stuck into Rotations and whip it into shape. At the moment looking at getting it published by Christmas.
Jodi MacArthur has a new story published – Free Mercury – at the very cool Beat to a Pulp site. The story is a wonderful exercise in voice: layered, entwined and scary. Recommended read.

Sun is high in the sky. Hot. Red hot. Flies buzz around it like a pile of bullshit. I stare, watching the flies buzz around and around.
Sirens break out behind me. I look at the road through the cracked windshield. I see I’ve swerved all the way off the road, all the way on to the grass.
