My Australian event schedule for MASSIF. A corrected version of my Australian tour graphic, as the previous one had the wrong Robinsons store. It will be Glen Waverley, not Frankston. UK details coming soon. No US tour this year, my apologies. www.allenandunwinblog.com/events/garth...

After a pleasant afternoon of stock signing, QBD Books Bondi Junction, Harry Hartog Bondi Junction, QBD Broadway, and Gleebooks all have signed copies of MASSIF (and others). Thank you, booksellers!

I'm sorry to say that for reasons out of my control, my event on Wednesday 23rd September at Kinokuniya has been cancelled. No change to my various other Australian events, which you can find at www.allenandunwinblog.com/events/garth...

Today! Talking books (particularly MASSIF) with Luke Bateman at the State Library of NSW as part of the Sydney Writers Festival Homegrown program. www.swf.org.au/program/out-...

If you're looking for your next epic space opera check out Massif, the new SF/cosmic horror from the legendary @garthnix.bsky.social - out this week! Amazing worldbuilding with vast spacefaring mountain ranges, interstellar war, and deep mysteries about the nature of the universe... 💙📚🪐

MASSIF is out in the US/Canada and Australia, and will be out in the UK next week. Buying links here: www.garthnix.com/books/adult-... And check out the amazing endpapers in the US hardcover!

It's publication day for MASSIF (here in Australia, where we live in the future, but it will be soon elsewhere). Please go forth (or stay in) and order your copy. Or copies 😀 Here in Australia, I'm happy MASSIF is a book of the month with the QBD chain, in fine company. They have signed copies.

Presents for my sister. Proxies of #Sabriel and Chlorr from #The_Old_Kingdom series. @garthnix.bsky.social, always loved your work.

Like many authors I am grappling with the Anthropic settlement "Works Allocation" with various incorrect claimants on numerous books. Including a claimant called "Lirael" for my book LIRAEL . . .

Good interview with me in THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD by Barry Divola, on the eve of the publication of MASSIF. It’s out September 8. I don’t usually like photos of myself, but this one by Herald photographer Steven Siewart is Ok, I think. www.smh.com.au/culture/book...

It was a long time ago, audiobooks were still on cassette/CD, so no online samples or anything. The producer emailed me suggesting Tim Curry, among some others. I replied "That guy should change his name to avoid confusion with THE Tim Curry". They came back with "we mean THE Tim Curry" . . .

And now the UK tour details!

I am sad to hear that Tim Curry has died. He was a wonderful actor. I was very fortunate that he narrated the audiobooks of SABRIEL, LIRAEL, and ABHORSEN, which brought many people to the original trilogy.

My Australian event schedule for MASSIF (which is out September 8). I’ll also be in the UK for two weeks from 21 October, details to come. No US tour this year, sorry. I hope to see you all at an event 😀 www.allenandunwinblog.com/events/garth...

Parties, parties, parties! Drop along to the #Meanjin2028 #Brisbanein2028. desk for details of our parties on Thursday, Friday and a Hugo Watch Party on Sunday @laworldcon.bsky.social And please support us as Mates/Virtual Mates! This is the cheapest way to join us in #Brisbanein2028

I recently realised that one of my favourite tropes is "self-entitled people get their comeuppance". In fiction and non-fiction. In films and series. In life. Actually, in everything.

As part of the Sydney Writers' Festival Homegrown program, I'll be chatting to LUKE BATEMAN about MASSIF on Saturday 19th September at 6pm, State Library of NSW. www.swf.org.au/program/out-...

Tomorrow night! Kinokuniya Sydney! I'll be talking to CHLOE GONG about EYES OF KINGS, the third book in her bestselling FLESH AND FALSE GODS trilogy. 6:30pm for 7:00pm, Wednesday 5 August. RSVP here: kinokuniya.com.au/events/an-ev...

There’s something in the sky, a mountain range ascending into space! It’s dropping something!
