About me:
The newest activity in Pip's world is Chasing the Bard podcast- subscribe and follow Shakespeare into the Fey. This podcast of the award nominated dark fantasy features a cast of wonderful voice actors from around the podosphere.
I've always been a writer, but only recently a published one. Being a New Zealand fantasy writer means I am one of a small group, so I try my best to extend my contacts into the virtual world. I podcast and do my own website, pjballantine.net.
Weaver's Web is my fantasy podiobook and Whispers at the Edge is my podcast about living and writing at the edge of the world.
My published books so far are Weaver's Web and Chasing the Bard. The sequel to Bard has been sold to DragonMoon Press and should be out in 08. Also in the works are a dark fantasy trilogy and a series of magical stories from New Zealand. So far the ideas keep coming and I won't question that.

Who I'd like to meet:
Writers, readers, historians, more New Zealanders, podcasters and gardeners...

Hi the link is this - www. novel-storm. com.

Registration is free as is almost all the site! All I'm asking is for a user name, password and date of birth. You can even upload a 100x100 pixel pic to appear as you in the forums. Your work appears in a very cool virtual book where the pages turn as you move your mouse over them (I spend many minutes just holding the mouse button over the page and flipping it about-could be a man thing because it looks so cool!lol!!)

Anyhow I diverse - I would love to have you visit - even better register - and better again join in. My biggest ambition is to pay you your just rewards for your talents. In return novel-storm will do just fine - 20% is not greedy, but is sensible without 'ripping authors and illustrators off!

See you soon on my site soon - www. novel-storm. com

Hey, Ms. Ballantine. I've got a new bit of creepy podcast goodness over on Pseudopod, and I'm seeking trained eyes (or ears, rather) to leave some feedback. Consider taking a listen if you've a few spare moments, won't you?
