When MG met LJ

appearances getting published raves youtube

Sometimes I don’t blog everything interesting that happens to me right away; I save it up for a rainy day. Back in Nov 2009 I was on BBC TV’s Click – a show devoted to all things techie and presented by a fab fellow geek girl, the multi-talented LJ Rich. I made a little video [...]

Author Visits 2011. C’mon in, sit a spell.

Dark Parallel trailer is here!

Josh and Ixchel have travelled back in time, but it might not be so easy to get home again. They’ve landed in the Mayan era, when the prophecy about the world ending in 2012 was first foretold.

The communities are protesting, demonstrating, writing letters. This is the moment to persuade the county councils to change their minds! I’m involved with the [...]

A 2011 Round-Up

I know, the New Year ’round-up’ should refer to the previous year. But I’m exhausted just thinking about it. In general, I’m starting the year tired. “Why do we have New Year?” my Teenage Daughter asked me. “How is it a ‘new beginning’? If you commit a crime on Dec 31st 2010, you’d still be [...]

Remembering Vincent

There’s a friend of mine that I’ve blogged about before, Christian Pattison, who writes as Christian David. He’s been stomping around Summertown lately in his leather jacket, putting together his latest scripts and the novel and also The Vincent Fund. It’s a memorial to the man he worked with for twenty years, good as: Vincent [...]

Interviewed!

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 [...]
