Ready for a bit of deja vu?
I have just been contacted by the NSW Writers Centre and told that my second novel “The Fibonacci Killings” has been shortlisted for their genre fiction awards.
How spooky is that?
The novel is a murder crime yarn set the near future in a world I have constructed called “Three lives”. You get to live again if you die by uploading the chip inserted at birth into a clone body and hay presto! your alive!
The only drawback is that it can happen twice – hence the three lives (It makes sense, honest)
Into this world I unleashed a psycopathic killer who collect these “lifechips”, and he picks his victims by using the mathematical Fibonacci sequence. Always knew that maths would come in handy.
Anyhoo,,, I find out if I get anywhere in another month or so, at the moment I am one of 19 selected from the 200 entrants.
Back in tha saddle again,
terry
Good on you Terry. I’m glad you are back in the saddle!
Great work. We are all right along side you, cheering you on.

Awesome, Terry. Your novel sounds like a sic-fi version of The Da Vinci Code (though hopefully with better dialogue). I love the mix of genres and I’m crossing my fingers for you.
Where can I get one of those lifechips?
Oh exciting! I’ll keep fingers crossed for you
That’s incredibly good news Terry. Well done, lad. Any way we can nobble the judges? (Not that you beed it but I’m sure it never hurt.)
Good luck.

Go Terry! Well done – the folks at NSW Writers Centre are clearly people of taste and discernment.
