Tim Miller, resident artist at Evil HQ, would like all creatures great and small (living or … ) to get in touch with their inner Rafael, Donatello or … er … Michelangelo … sorry, now I have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle theme song in my head. Anyway, here’s a little peek at a sample of the artwork that will be gracing the new Voyager Newsletter, also known as the Captain’s Log. This particular piece will be in the paper newsletter going out to booksellers across the world Australia, but make sure you sign up for the electronic version to a). Save the environment; b).

Be in the running to win copies of Black Magazine, the hottest mag of the moment in the Dark Fantasy Arena.

CONFLUMMOXED? WE HOPE SO!

In other news, Team Voyager are very happy to announce that we will be represented at Conflux 5: Dreaming. Conflux, as previously announced, is taking place from October 3-6 in Canberra – and it’s NOT to be missed! Jack Dann will be there, as will many other very talented people working within sf/f, not to mention the fans, and now … Voyagers. And don’t forget mini-Conflux this very weekend – taking place online and open to the world.

Stephanie Smith, our Voyager Publisher, will be attending, as will Jess and Sarah from the Marketing team and moi. And there will be a superb road trip on the way to Canberra – and we haven’t yet decided which of Canberra’s very specifically Canberran attractions we ought to partake in. This particular pilot of the Voyager has never actually managed to grace the nation’s capital with her presence (no I wasn’t here in Year Six for the compulsory school trip to see parliament) so if you have any ideas – please reply to this post! (and only with things that are legal in NSW please* … although we’re far too tempted by the promise of fireworks …) And yes, there will be blogging galore, for we will be in a position to heavily pester our wonderful authors.

*For non-Australians, there are three things that are legal in Canberra, but not in Sydney. I am not going to tell you what, go away and do some research or ask an Australian and you’ll have some interesting trivia for pub quizzes.
