Welcome to my website.

Poke around a bit and you'll find:

Information about the Murray Whelan books and various other articles and speeches including the 'Encounters' pieces which appear monthly in, er, The Monthly magazine.

Postings of upcoming appearances at literary events, festivals, conclaves, mass rallies, libraries, workshops, panels, conventions, conferences, working-bees, fishing expeditions and wine tastings.

Intermittent ramblings posted under the misleading heading of News

Samples from the audio books and directions to where you can buy them.

Stuff about the 2004 telemovies of 'Stiff' and 'The Brush Off', including photos, John Clarke's view from the director's chair, and how to get the DVDs.

Some sordid details about my personal history.

Here are contact numbers if you want me to speak at a festival, library, school or corporate event.

There are also links to booksellers, a schedule of my upcoming engagements, news about doings at The Brunswick Institute and various other bits and bobs.

Please note: This is the site for Shane Maloney, the novelist. If you are looking for Dr Shane K. Maloney, the animal physiologist, you have come to the wrong place. But click here for an example of his excellent work on the cool heads of unrestrained baboons .
