The Love Of The Web
If you google "Paul Haines" most likely you are going to get a first page where that "Paul Haines" is me. (So to all my friends who hadn't read my blog because they couldn't remember what it was called, I need some better excuses).
Anyway, being a man with a monster of an ego, I have Google Alerts set up to alert to my presence on the web. And if that damn rugby player in England who keeps scoring tries each weekend for his club doesn't score a try, there is a 50% chance it will be me in the alert.
The one that came through today is to do with my upcoming appearance at the Victorian Writers Centre for a Speculative Fiction panel.
The first one is from Horrorscope:
Paul Haines is an award-winning speculative fiction short story writer. His first collection Doorways For The Dispossessed (Prime Books, 2006) won the New Zealand Science Fiction Award (Sir Julius Vogel) for Best Collection and was nominated for the Australian Science Fiction Award (Ditmar). He has two more collections slated for release in late 2008/early 2009.
The next appears to be some sort of something (translation?) from Walrus Club for the same thing:
Paul Haines is an award-winning suppositive fiction poor epitome essayist. The series has been published to eloquent and main acclaim in the US, the UK and Germany. His beginning garnering Doorways For The Dispossessed (Prime Books, 2006) won the New Zealand Science Fiction Award (Sir Julius Vogel) in the direction of Best Collection and was nominated in the direction of the Australian Science Fiction Award (Ditmar).
Ha! And they say my Chinese is bad!
