The Australian's Are Coming . . .

[Raven]

Science fiction and fantasy: the wonderful wizards of Oz.

 

*Authors can come from other countries as well.

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing Raven.

I must say that even though I generally spend an hour or so in Waterstone's every Saturday, there aren't many names in the article I recognise.  I suspect Tim and Steve will be familiar with more of them though!

[Athena]

I recognise a few names, though certainly not all of them. I own some books written by Australian authors, though I think I haven't read many of them. Then again, I'm not quite sure as I generally don't look up where the author is from when I pick up a book.

I don't recognise too many names there, either. And of the names I did recognise, I wasn't even aware that some of them were Australian.

[vodkafan]

I didn't know ANY of the names !! I been reading SF and fantasy for 40 years !

[Raven]

You must have heard of Trudi Canavan, surely?

[Athena]

I haven't read any books by her yet (I'm ashamed to admit) but my sister has and she liked them.

[Karsa Orlong]

I've heard of a couple of those authors - Greg Egan and Glenda Larke, in particular.  I've looked at their books many times but never actually bought them.  Trudi Canavan's books don't interest me at all 

[Timstar]

Same as Steve, I've heard of a few and had a look at their books, Garth Nix and Trudi Canavan etc. but never read any.
