The Red Winter is an impressive debut fantasy by Aussie author Cameron Sullivan, in conversation at GALAXY with author Molly O'Neill.
Zoë from GALAXY said she "had a great deal of fun with this semi-historical fantasy. Great unreliable main character whose actions are dubious, great side narrative to throw the main narrator’s perspective and decisions into doubt, and a fantastic story line that truly hammers home the evil of war."
GALAXY has teamed up with the Sydney SFF Book Club to host Cameron in a Q&A and signing session with Molly O'Neill, author of Greenteeth, and Nightshade and Oak.
Jeremy Szal will discuss Book 3 of the epic space opera The Common Saga with guest MC Richard Swan.
Jeremy Szal burst onto the SF scene with Stormblood, a space opera that delivers depth in both his action-packed future-noir worldbuilding and his thought-provoking characterisation. He followed it it with Blindspace and the Broken Stars collection and now completes the Common Saga with Wolfskin.
Special guest emcee Richard Swan (author of Justice of Kings and Grave Empire) described Stormblood as "A space opera that is both sweeping and taut, with real grit and real heart. This book will kick you in the nuts as you’re lying on the floor.” He will guide you through a deep dive of the Common Saga, its origins and themes over conversation with Jeremy before a book signing session.
I SWEAR • IN CINEMAS MARCH 26 • Thanks to Transmission Films, we have 5 double passes to give away to I SWEAR, a film written and directed by Kirk Jones, opening nationally in cinemas on 26 March.
Based on the true story, I SWEAR is a moving, uplifting account of the life of John Davidson, a Tourette Syndrome campaigner who grew up with the condition in 1980s Scotland, at a time when it was little known and misunderstood.
Featuring outstanding performances from Robert Aramayo, Peter Mullan, Shirley Henderson and Maxine Peake, I SWEAR is a frank, funny and touching story about the transformative power of friendship and community.
