Steve P Vincent

Steve P. Vincent lives with his wife in a pokey apartment in Melbourne, Australia, where he’s forced to write on the couch in front of an obnoxiously large television. When he’s not writing thrillers such as The Foundation and Fireplay, Steve keeps food and flat whites on the table working for the man. He enjoys beer, whisky, sports and dreaming up ever more elaborate conspiracy theories to write about. He has a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Political Science and History. His honors thesis was on the topic of global terrorism. He has traveled extensively through Europe, the United States and Asia.

Path to Publication V: The big day

by

No, you idiots, I’m already married. I typed this on the evening after the release of my first novel, The Foundation. But to avoid spamming my social media to death with ‘book stuff’, I let it stew for a few days prior to posting. This is the last of the Path to Publication posts. In … Read more

First Review!

by

I received a great message on Twitter that Fiona at ReadingKills.com had reviewed The Foundation. My favourite line? “This is a jet-setting, alarming, bang-pow-kaboom read full of metaphorical and literal bloodshed, political machinations you’ll hope desperately will never become reality, and late-night giant-popcorn-wielding funnies.” You can check out her review here. My thanks to Fiona … Read more

Path to Publication IV: Cover and marketing

First blurb from one of my fave dudes

by

So I have a pretty significant amount of time for John Birmingham. He’s awesome. He writes good, ‘splodey books and thinky political opinion thingos. So when I received at email saying he’d done a blurb for The Foundation, I got a little giddy. Or a lot giddy. I’ll let your imagination sort through it. What did … Read more

Path to Publication III: The edits

by

Accept. Accept. Accept. Accept. At the time of writing, that has been my life for four hours a night for the last week. It’s spilling over into other bits of life, too. I really want to hit ‘Reject Change’ on suggestions I empty the dishwasher, and ‘Delete Comment’ on most things I hear on public … Read more

The path to publication II: The big issues

by

So Moses parted the Red Sea, eh? Well, splitting that big puddle is nothing compared to the ocean of red I’ve dived into with nothing but a spear gun in my hand and a steely determination to slay bad stuff in my heart. Probably some pants, too. So brings us to Path to Publication II: … Read more
