Hello, and my apologies for a lengthy silence when I just didn't get around to posting much. Anyway, I've done a bumper list of stuff I'm doing between now and November, so without further ado, for you delight and delectation...

I shall making a couple of appearances on panels, and ( Read more... )

I can hardly believe the news that Robin Sachs has died (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21343137). When Christopher Cazenove died, Robin took over the role of reading the second Johannes Cabal audio book Johannes Cabal the Detective. He called me and ( Read more... )

I'm sorry. I am truly sorry. I have no idea how this could have happened.

I am the bearer of bad tidings.

It transpires that, for reasons that remain obscure, Thomas Dunne, the respected publishers of books such as Peter Ackroyd's six part History of England, through to striking new works of fiction like David Wong's John Dies at the End has, and I ( Read more... )

Woo, lookit, a non-Twitter entry.

I'm terribly sorry -- I haven't been keeping this up at all despite me doing stuff that was worth blogging about. I shall endeavour to get back into the habit of posting more frequently.

Right, things that are happening.

This Saturday, the 15th, I shall be making an appearance at the Trowbridge branch of Waterstone's at midday. I wish I could give ( Read more... )

 For your information, the subject line is an unforgivably oblique reference back to the days of vinyl records. Just so you know. Or don't.

Right, I shall be writing this entry in sort-of real time with choosing the winner of a personalised and signed copy of The Fear Institute. Which is to say, I shall be writing a bit, doing something, writing ( Read more... )

 I announced a little give-away on Twitter the other day, but if you didn't see it there, I'll repeat it here.

Basically, I've received my hardback copies of The Fear Institute and I'm going to give one away -- personalised and signed -- to somebody chosen randomly from my followers list on Twitter. The only restriction really is that it has to go ( Read more... )

Black Gate #15 is out soon. It's a terrific magazine for fantasy readers and I would recommend it wholeheartedly even if they weren't publishing a short story by me in #15. As it happens, they are. My story's an 11 000 word adventure called "The Shuttered Temple." The issue's full contents list can be found here ( Read more... )

 Dear me, another long break between posts. My apologies; I know the world wilts and the colours are not quite so bright in the absence of my recondite musings. Yes, it does. It does, truly. You just haven't been paying attention. Trust me, you've really missed me. Oh, suit yourself.

So, what have I been up to? Well, I have been largely tidying up ( Read more... )

 Hello.

I should really hold off writing my address to a grateful planet until after Christmas, but I should be too stupidly busy to do it then so I shall impose upon your holiday cheer earlier rather than later. Specifically, a brief report on my year for your elucidation and delight.
