You can leave a comment on this page or against any of my specific posts, or email me directly at mark at markwebb dot name. I’ll leave it to you to figure out how to reassemble the last part of the former sentence into my actual email address. Fiendishly difficult, I know.
If you find my posts particularly interesting and want to subscribe to a RSS feed so you never miss a single one then the URL is http://www.markwebb.name/?feed=rss2 (you can substitute ‘rss’ or ‘rdf’ or ‘atom’ depending on your reader) or via Feedburner (http://feeds.feedburner.com/markwebbspecfic). And seek medical attention, because there is obviously something seriously wrong with you.
I also publish my book reviews on the Goodreads website. Feel free to friend me over there as well.
I’m also dabbling in the Twitter at the moment. I don’t really understand it all, but my twitter ID is [at] webb_ma if anyone is interested in following me. I’m lurking a bit at the moment while I try to understand it all (for someone whose early career was in IT I’m remarkably dense when it comes to social media). I’ll probably eventually tweet links to things I publish on the website.
Hi Mark,
I've been following your blog for a while, and enjoyed what I've read. We have some interesting parallels, we are both in our forties (I'm in my late forties), we both have recently started to try our hand at writing with a bit of success and we both live in the Inner West of Sydney, but that is an aside.
First I was wondering if you knew about Unicon Freecon being held at UTS on the 26-28 of October. Seeing that it's a free Scifi conference not far from where you live, I thought you might be interested. Info and a registration form can be found at http://utsatheists.weebly.com/sff-unicon.html, and the is a short story competition.
Second, I think I read that you are looking for a writer's group. There is an open genre writer's group that I attend at the NSW writers centre in Rozelle. It is open to new members if you are interested.
Regards,
Rick Keuning.
Hi Rick,
Thanks for your comment and for following the blog – much appreciated!
I hadn't heard about the Unicon Freecon – I'll have to see if there are still seats available. Sounds really good. Looks like I've missed the deadline for the short story competition, but it would still be great to attend.
I'll check out the writers group – I'm a member of the NSW Writers' Centre and I've been out to the Rozelle facilities a couple of times. I'd been half considering starting up a speculative fiction group based out there, but if something already exists that sounds better!
I saw you had a publication in Antipodean SF recently – congratulations. Keep up the excellent writing.

ps Rick – unfortunately family issues kept me away from Unicon Freecon. I hope it went well, the writeup on your blog made it sound very interesting.
Congratulations on being published by the excellent Nicole Murphy. It sounds like a fantastic experience.
I hope to make it along to the writing group you've mentioned above. Will be good to meet you face to face.

Hi Mark,
Freecon was a good experience, but it needed more people. It's a shame you could not make it.
I hope you do make it to the writers group.
Rick.
I read your write up – sounds like a great event. Hopefully next year!

Just quick: I appreciate your comments about "Friendlessness," my story in Asimov's. Hope your anti-social nature stays secret for a while longer.
I really enjoyed the story – thanks for writing in Eric. Look forward to reading more of your work in the future!
