We Fade To Grey goodness (and some pics and other bits and pieces)

The We Fade To Grey juggernaut rumbles on. I’ve just received confirmation from Chris Teague that there will be a signing session (with, as I write this, Simon Bestwick, Stuart Young, Chris, Gary McMahon and myself in attendance, though I’m sure Paul Finch’ll be there too!) on Saturday 20th September (the only day I can make, ironically enough) at

You did that cover yourself? Nice!

[mark_west]

Cheers, Greg. I did the covers for my collection and novel (the latter also published by Chris) and I think he wanted to save a little money and so asked me if I had any ideas. I'm quite pleased with it too!

I love seeing old photos - thanks for sharing (and oh lordy the white socks....ahahaha)

That cover art is beautiful, btw.

Thanks, Cat - I've posted a load of images at Flickr, which you can get to from this link.

Thanks, also, about the cover art.

Were you trying to model yourself after Ferris Bueller at all, Mark? ;-)

[mark_west]

Not that I recall. I'm not entirely sure where the trainers with the tongues out came from (possibly some Brat-pack movie or another), but the hair experimentation ('88) was all "Angel Heart". I sound very sad and lonely now, don't I?

Wow, I forgot about black slip ons and white sox! wore them to my first disco!

[mark_west]

Yep, I'm sort of glad I don't have any pictures from school discos, the ones I have from going out with work in the late 80s are bad enough!

Aw, your photos are adorable. Love the one of you and Tracy running, and the reflection of the clouds in the windows of the trailer in the other photo.

We liked Cloverfield, too, and I totally agree that it would have been better not to have really seen the monster. It was scarier that way!

Thanks, Kim!
