|
This month the world science fiction convention will be held in Melbourne, Australia. The convention is an annual meeting of fans, and some pros, with discussion panels, hucksters (retail sales), a masquerade, the traditional handing out of the awards (Hugos and Ditmars) and just hanging around. Also attending are some forty or so Australian and international authors and editors. We will be bringing you as many interviews as possible from these people over the coming weeks.

| You can now buy books in our mall Some time ago we received a very nice message from a lady at Bell. After reading our reviews, she had picked out a couple of titles for christmas gifts, and after a brief e-mail she was off to find an online store. As from September, we will be providing links to a choice of online stores, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The online shopping mall is scheduled to be opened the first week of September, you may find it still under construction, please don't mind the cyber-scaffolding.
