| Bio: | This is the journal of Jarrah Moore.
I write speculative fiction, usually contemporary young adult fantasy. I'm so very small time that I'm barely visible; but I trust that I'm getting somewhere.
On this journal you'll find book reviews, rambling about the writing process, some flailing over fannish things, the odd post about the publishing industry, and occasionally a hint that I live in the real world and have a life of my own.

Published short stories
'Horse of Souls', in Aurealis #38/39, Jan 2008.
Summary: A ghastly horse walks the city after curfew. Nobody meets it and comes away; except, apparently, Lorie's best friend Sean. (Available here.)
'The Keepsake Purse', in TiconderogaOnline, Autumn 2007.
Summary: Rachel gave Liam a purse woven out of her hair. It's black and dead, now, and Liam's fairly sure Rachel's not all right. (You can read the story here.)
'Anything Like Her Photo', in Byzarium Magazine, January 2006. (Flash fiction.)
Summary: A princess' portrait and a card in the mail. (You can listen to an audio version of the story here.)
'Blue-Eyed Lizard', in Flash Me Magazine, August 2005. (Flash fiction.)
Summary: He was a very small lizard, really. But he *might* be a dragon. (You can read the story here.)
'A Charmed Knight', in AntipodeanSF, May/June 2005. (Flash fiction, no payment.)
Summary: Sir Tachen moved like grace itself. (You can read the story here.)
_______
I also have some fanfiction (Harry Potter and Hikaru no Go slash), which I mention because some of it is considerably better than my published works. You can find it here.
I keep a list of fanfic recs (mostly HP slash, but a couple of other fandoms and a little bit of gen) here.
_______
I also once wrote an Honours thesis about fairy tales; since I went to the effort of uploading it at the time, I shall link it here: 'Silence in the Grimms' Tales: A Cultural Analysis'.
_______
I'm 25, and I work in a corner of the publishing industry, for a company that gives me far too many free books. I'm also studying a graduate diploma in editing, through night school. |
