So, I’ve got the contract for Too Many Elf Princes, and we haven’t quite started on the copy editing process yet, but on the content editing side, my editor said to me “I’m curious about Kjartan’s relationship to his mum, can we have a bit more explanation there? Oh, and could you beef up the…
I found this on Nathan Brandsford’s blog His is naturally much more exciting, but here is the Pulp-o-Mizer cover for my blog Make your own here And since we’re on the subject of fun but silly, this made me laugh this morning too: http://www.snotr.com/video/8965/
This may be a timely reminder of how awesome you all are, and how you should not let society convince you there’s something wrong with you. It was for me 🙂 In our family, sitting together in the same room while browsing the internet on our phones/tablet/laptop can be sometimes substituted for sitting together in…

To celebrate, here’s an excerpt from Dogfighters: Blurb Fight a fire-breathing dragon with a wooden airplane? It’ll take a madman… Under the Hill, Part 2 Kidnapped…

*G* I’m not sure about the grammar of that title. But I am delighted to announce that I’ve just signed the contract with Samhain to publish Too Many Fairy Princes, a contemporary fantasy on crack. Blurb: When Dave Wilson’s boss clears out the coffers of his failing art gallery and disappears, leaving him to confront…
Sorry about this. I normally write my ‘Write on’ post on Sundays in readiness for the Monday coming, but was ill over the weekend, and still am, so I wasn’t able to. I will catch up as soon as I can put one word infront of another again and have them make sense. In the…
