Put a bunch of writers together at a vintage pub in a spa town in Yorkshire when it’s far too hot and well, what would you expect? While usually I’d call the cheeriest writers either…

Cheap Thrills
To steal a line from Dolly Levi, “Money, if you’ll pardon the expression, is like manure. It’s not worth a thing unless it’s spread around, encouraging young things to grow.” Here are some things you ought to be encouraging to grow this spring: Exiles is a collection of 26 short stories from a stellar group…
White Rabbit Hops
I’ve been a bit off kilter of late, but slowly catching up with things. Here are some links to places I have been flogging my latest book with all my puny might (have to work on that upper body strength). Guest Posts I’m over at Richard Godwin’s for a Quick Fire at the Slaugherhouse where…

It’s Miss Wendy‘s birthday today 🙂 Happy birthday, my friend. Bits of news from my frenzied activities of late: publications of course, also knocking…
Something Noir in the Air
I suspect that 2014 is going to have a distinctively noir feel: First, there’s still a chance to get stories by the DRUNK ON THE MOON crew for free! Hustle on over and pick up any Roman Dalton you’ve missed and of course, be sure to leave ratings and reviews (you’re getting them free, c’mon!…
Catching Up
I can’t believe November is almost over. While my days seem completely relaxed and peaceful, I have been so very busy with one thing or another, so the time has just flown by. I thought September was crazy, but October flew by before I could turn around, and November — we hardly knew ye! So…
