Trent Jamieson is an award-winning novelist and short story writer. Orbit published his Death Works novels, which were about love, the city of Brisbane*, and the business of death. Angry Robot published the Nightbound Land Series which is sort of cli-fi, sort of steamclunk**, sort of space opera. Text published Day Boy; it’s country towns, vampires, and bildungsroman. This is the back catalogue (in mostly chronological order) and some new ones, and a bit of mostly useless writing advice, and some how-these-stories-beganisms. He has just had a baby daughter! Who knows how often he’ll put stories down here! His website is at www.trentjamieson.com.au *It’s a city in Australia. **yes, clunk.
