Book signing and talk for An Irish Tour of Singapore
Hello everyone! There's a book signing and talk for "An Irish Tour of Singapore"! If you like history and want to know more about the Irish here, check it out! Also, I've read this book before and it's so definitely not like a boring history book. Go listen to the talk to see why! Short details: Location: Orchard Ion's Prologue book [...]
The Story and the Pitch!
Hello everyone! I received something interesting in my email yesterday. Apparently there's a workshop by a literary agency (!!) in Singapore. More details after the cut but briefly, it's by Peony Literary Agency. This workshop will be more on pitching and how to snag yourself an agent amongst other things. Short details: At the Arts House, 10am [...]
Singapore Steampunk Anthology: Update!
Since I keep seeing it in my keywords searching more about the Singapore steampunk anthology by Two Trees... Here's a public update! The non-acceptances have been emailed out with comments and the rest have been updated that they've passed through the first round! At the moment, we're sorting through which stories will fit together in the whole [...]

Nanowrimo: This week’s update!
Yep. The Nano boards are slow as usual one the first week. Thus, just in case: Write in will be from 2pm- 4pm (or any time between those hours anyway) at the Earshot Cafe at The Arts House. Bring your own writing materials etc.
SDS 2.17 – Misery Business
And so the 30th October was the kick off party for Nanowrimo in Singapore! It was at the multipurpose room of the national library. Most people ask why do Nanowrimo since you have to write at least 50k in 30 days well... That is pretty much the point! For others it's a daunting task, to writers it is fun! (more...)
The line up!
Here's the line up guys. (For the official poster of the event, click here.) National Library, Multipurpose room (basement 1) at 6.30pm (till 8.30pm) The theme: Superheroes (people are gonna dress to the theme so don't get freaked out, you're at the right place!) Anyone can leave before 8.30pm but that's the maximum time slot we can be [...]
Time to get sticky
Hey guys! BUBBLE G.U.M IS OUT! Or rather, it's printed and ready to be shipped by the distributors. HOWEVER, it will take time before the stores will receive it but I'm able to get copies from the publisher themselves. Ah! What's BUBBLE G.U.M? If you read the last pages of Happiness at the End of the World, you'd be able to see a preview of [...]
Chronicles of a Daywalker – Blood on the Moon
When I saw "Blood on the Moon" by S.M. De Silva, I thought, "Oooh, a vampire story. This looks interesting" for the last local vampire book I read was pretty fun. (You can read preview chapters of Blood on the Moon on their website, by the way.) Plus, I like to support genre fiction especially local ones here since there isn't too many! And [...]
And I Prefer Moroccan Mint Tea
Hello people, if you've read Soulless and Changeless by Gail Carriger, this might make sense to you. My friends haven't all read Blameless yet so I am resorting to post my SQUEE here. This will have spoilers after the more cut. However, for those who are going to read this, I have prepared you a menu. I have not included what the werewolves and [...]
