The Age have published an interview with Shelley Parker-Chan, the first Australian to be nominated for a Hugo award - two actually, Best Novel and Best New Writer. She Who Became the Sun is their first novel.
Most would regard this novel as fantasy - Hugos cover both science-fiction and fantasy - but this an Australian author and their interview touches on a broader entertainment issue.
Nerdist have interviewed Brent Spiner about his recently released novel, Fan Fiction, which is what they're describing as a comedic noir mystery and fictional autobiography:
Newsroom NZ reports that Australian born author, Laura Jean McKay, has won the Arthur C Clarke award for science fiction for her novel, The Animals in That Country.
Earlier this year she was awarded the Victorian Prize for Literature.
Presently living in New Zealand, she teaches at Massey University.
