Hey look! Here’s those 9 novels I spent a decade and a half researching, writing and editing. All illegally scooped up by Zuckerberg and used to train his plagiarism machine. What a time to be alive!
Screencap of the database search results of authors in LibGen. Includes Into Whit Silence, Nightpeople, Skyfall, Fireshadow, and A New Kind of Dreaming, all by Anthony Eaton.

Australia, 2025.
Screenshot of two contrasting new stories on Bluesky – the top one from the ABC under the headline “pensioners evicted from caravan park despite living there for decades“, and the second one, from the Melbourne Age, with a headline “26 properties in 35 years: Peter Dutton‘s extensive property portfolio revealed.“

Ever wondered how to almost guarantee against a kid being permitted to buy a toy?
It’s a plastic dinosaur on a shelf in a toy shop. Above it, with an arrow pointing down, a handwritten sign reads ‘voiced by James Corden’.

Another 7000 word day means you get rewards.
Beer. A glass of cold beer. The photo is of beer. Specifically a glass of Humpback Brewery Hazy Pale Ale, but I don’t know if you want that level of specificity. You can also see me very reclined bare feet, and the view from the verandah of the house I’ve borrowed for my writing retreat. The view involves a beach. But mainly beer.

Gearing up for the last full day of my Tathra writing retreat. So far have pushed out a little over 15000 words in two days. Hoping to do another 7k or so today. Sadly, though, the weather isn’t helping…
Photo looking out over Tathra bay from the front verandah of a house on the headland. The sky is blue, the beach gleaming white, forested headlands and hills in the distance. All in all, not super conducive to sitting in a room writing for eight hours.

Writing retreat night one. 1000 words written over dinner and a beer at the Tathra pub. Could be worse, I guess.
Photo of a beer (humpback brewery, Old Tom’s IPA) beside a MacBook on a table at the Tathra pub. The Pacific Ocean can be seen outside, as well as a couple of quite decently sized Norfolk Island pine trees. The beer, in case you were wondering, was excellent.

Took this shot in NYC a couple of weeks ago. I call it ‘from the sublime to the ridiculous’
In the foreground, a green Ferrari parked neside the curb and looking like a work of freaking art - all curves and vehicular sexiness. In the background, parked on the opposite side of the street, a cybertuck. Looking like the bastard child of a baking tray and a door wedge.

"Copilot, create an image of an alien llama on top of the sydney harbour bridge, holding a teapot."
A frankly disturbing image of a highly enlongated llama, with four articulated alien limbs growing out of its back, standing on the water in front of the Sydney Harbour bridge. The Llama is taller than the Harbour Bridge, and its ears are almost the length of its neck. It is staring at you as though it is about to eat your soul. In the background the Sydney Opera house appears to have shifted to a small island on the other side of the harbour. There is no teapot anywhere in evidence

Took this one to the women’s A League game here in Canberra this arvo. Sadly lots of thunderstorm delays and we ended up having to leave before half time because torrential rain. But the half hour or so of football we got to see was fantastic!
Me and M at football field. M at the fence. Courtney Vine and Sydney FC warming up in the background.

This is Nala. She is not dead. Just a doofus. But she’s our doofus.
Photo of a 43kg Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is lying on her back with all 4 legs in the air and a slightly crazed expression on her face.

Good morning. It’s a lovely day in Canberra and I appear to have a cat growing out of my neck.
Close up selfie. Half my head, half a cat perched on the backrest of my chair. The cat is a grey and white tuxedo cat named Rocket. Not pictured: Rocket is purring like a chainsaw but if I were to try and pat him, or move my head in any way he would attempt to take my ear or finger off much like a…well… a chainsaw.

This is my life right now.
Double page spread from parody children’s book ‘the Ladybird book of the meeting’ Right hand page shows a middle aged businessman opening a door. Left hand page is all text and reads ‘Mr Biddeford does not like meetings, so he is going in his cupboard again’.
