    Aurealis Duo: Terrorism

    About this ebook

    We asked some of Australia's top fantasy and science fiction authors to select two of their stories tied together by a single theme and to write an introduction on how they had explored that theme — to give some insight into their writing and how they see the big issues. We also paired the writers with Australia's top SF artists, so that each publication also showcases the illustrator. Then we released the publications in pairs. The result is the Aurealis Duos series.

    In "Terrorism", Jack Dann, an expat New Yorker and multi-award winning SF author who eats Vegemite with an American accent says, "I didn't feel patriotic the morning that the towers fell... I just felt that someone had burned down my house... the only way I could get my arms around the subject was to write about... us. No treatise on terrorism and suicide bombing here, just two stories that are set on the other side of the looking glass."

Most emphatically recommended.' He is the editor of the ground-breaking anthology Dreaming Down-Under (with Janeen Webb), which won the World Fantasy Award in 1999, and Dreaming Again, which Bookseller+Publisher chose as their 'Pick of the Week', giving it five stars.

      When It Changed

      Jack Dann

      Sometimes I get up early to write… sometimes very early.

      I remember getting up at 5.00 am on a chilly Monday morning eleven years ago. My partner Janeen Webb and I were living in Melbourne in her lovely town house in South Yarra.
