  • Mud, mud, glorious mud

    Well lummee! The purple patch is now looking like a small purple lawn as the fine people in charge of an anthology called Caledonia Dreamin have accepted my story. Excitingly, the last plan I heard featured launching the anthology at World Fantasy Con, which I will be at, so I may get the chance to…

  • Stolen ideas

    So, I have had an idea knocking round my head for years. Imagine a city as a train, thundering round the world. Then imagine how the class system would develop. Several years back I wrote a short story set on that train. It was suggested I might want to lengthen the story. So I turned…

  • The Art of Cake Baking

    Do you like cake? Then you should go to Unspoken Water right now and buy issue four. They have very kindly published a short by me on the subject of cake baking. I would tell you the title, but I have changed it so often I can’t remember what it is now. Sharon tells me…

  • The Purple Patch Continues

    The cracking cover for Morpheus Tales Apocalypse Special Read the first couple of stories so far and I’ve really enjoyed them. By the way, they have a discount on today should you feel like purchasing. But no matter how good that cover is, it won’t stop me Pulp-O-Mizing my own one.

  • The 15th of December

    Not technically out until Friday but to my great joy, Morpheus Tales have released their Apocalypse Special which includes my wee short, The 15th of December. You can see a preview here and if it interests you can buy the ebook at Smashwords or the real thing at Lulu. Warning, may contain beer and Norwich.

    The Greatest Pulp Stories Ever Told

    So yesterday I was introduced to the Pulp-O-Mizer and did spend far too much time making up silly pulp covers. So, by way of putting something up here, have a spoof for the story I had in Sein und Werden (their actual cover is much nicer) And then, because I am having too much fun…
