Interviewed!

I’ve finally gotten around to editing some of the audio and video files I’ve had on the hard drive for months. There’s now a page of collected MG Harris interviews, audio and written, from BBC radio as well as a podcast, book blogs, writers’ blogs and The Oxford Times. It’s strange being interviewed. I’m clearly [...]

ICE SHOCK and a new refutation of time

I thought I’d start a series of posts about some of the themes in Ice Shock. My publicist Alex Richardson and I worked on this for the new author pack. In the next week or so I’ll drizzle bits of it onto the blog. The book opens with a quotation from Jorge Luis Borges. It’s [...]
