I've set up a text feed for the daily digests of THE LOST FORTNIGHT, for those of you reading the new story on mobile devices. Find it below:

Kilbey and Nero wake to discover two weeks of their lives have been stolen. Where has all the time gone? Who broke Nero's leg? Why is Theo not speaking to Kilbey? And who exactly put out the bins?

THE LOST FORTNIGHT is a brand new, complete SALMON & DUSK story originally published via Twitter. It was written in real time, in short bursts of 140 characters, switching between three protagonists over twelve days.

My latest gig is now online. As of this week, I'm the culture reviewer for new Melbourne publication THE WEEKLY REVIEW. The page covers music, film, TV and whatever else is going on in Melbourne for the week. There's also a fortnightly web column, picking out the best of the online world. The magazine can be viewed in its entirety online HERE.

Never let it be said I don't enjoy a bit of playing around with new(ish) media. Starting tomorrow, Wed 28th of April, Kilbey will be tweeting his unique take on a brand new story, THE LOST FORTNIGHT. To follow the tale, which will begin by running at 3-4 tweets a day, you'll need to follow Kilbey at twitter.com/kilbeysalmon.

Tune in tomorrow for more!

My journalism blog Is It Wicked Not to Care? has been updated after a four month hiatus. For those of you who haven't checked it out before, the blog is essentially for people who find it hard to care about current affairs - particularly when most news and current affairs coverage is, frankly, a bit rubbish. Some older posts are now available to peruse on this site here.

This week's entry covers the UK election, late trains and disappointing Daleks. What's not to like?

This has been in the works for some time, but I was waiting for the program to be launched before saying anything about it. The prospect of reading on stage is currently 60% thrilling, 35% terrifying and 5% unidentified dread. Of course, I'll also need to decide what to read...

I'll most likely be performing an extract from Salmon & Dusk, which will mark their first appearance before a live audience. (Not that many unalive people listen to the podcasts, but you know what I mean...) If you're in the area, I encourage you to buy your tickets and come along to say hello!

‘It ain’t just the cab that’s falling apart, look. The map is burning out. We’ll be lucky to make it back in one piece,’ Nero told Kilbey, who refused to be troubled.

‘We always make it back in one piece.’

‘The one time we don’t, you’ll stop saying that.’

Kilbey is missing, presumed kidnapped.

Nero goes trawling the Fallen for clues, while Theo has to decide if rushing to the rescue will give her badly-behaved boyfriend the wrong idea.

DOWNLOAD CHAPTER TWO

Some of you have been kind enough to let me know I left in a stray audio track when I was making a quick edit to BLUE VALENTINE last night, cheers! Was clearly trying to do too many things at once.

The audio has now been fixed and is ready to download from the same link as last time - or directly from the feed, if you'd like to download the file again.

Otherwise, it's here:
