Welcome to the blog of Mary Brock Jones, SF author.

I also have a website, here


I write science fiction. Some dark, some not so dark. Some short, some longer, some very long. Some have a happy ending, others definitely not.

I also write NZ historical romance novels.They always end happily, even if the journey can get quite bumpy.

It's a nice mix.

Semaphore anthology

I found out last night that my story "A Conjunction of Interests" is to be included in this year's Semaphore Anthology of the best works for 2010. This is so great. Can't wait to see what the final anthology looks like.
      Marie Hodginkinson, who edits, runs and everything else in Semaphore, deserves a national honour for this ezine. A genuine, quality NZ based ezine specialising in spec fic, or fantasy/scifi or whatever else you like to call it. It's just so amazing that she decided to do it at all in the first place, and then made it work so well. She was awarded a Sir Julius Vogel award this year for Best Production / Publication, and it was very richly deserved.
