Nuke is the editor in chief of the Australian online magazine\u00a0<a title=\"Antipodean SF website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.antisf.com.au\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Antipodean SF<\/em> <\/a>and a long time supporter of the speculative fiction scene. Full disclosure: Nuke has published some of my flash fiction and has been both an inspiration and provided valuable\u00a0support to\u00a0my writing, making it doubly fun to be interviewing him.<\/p>\n<p><em>Antipodean SF<\/em> has been going since 1998, and Nuke has some fascinating insights into trends that have happened in the SF scene over that time. He also has some great insights into the world of flash fiction.
