Out Now: Things in the Dark
Out now in paperback, coming soon to ebook, the latest of the Fox Spirit Pockets! Of course it’s chock full of fun from writers you may know and others who will be new to you. Well done, skulk! Any O. Henry fans recognise the title I’m riffing on? Written for my friends Terry and Byron,…
SpeakEasy Radio: Fox Spirit Books head, Adele Wearing
“Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, mene täältä hiiteen!” Happy St. Urho Day! As usual, we commemorate the saint (or his wife) who chased the grasshoppers out of the vineyards in Finland in the usual manner — by fire-grilling the grasshoppers! No, wait — that’s just a cool design made by S. L. Johnson who thought this holiday a…
Kinski Butterfly
Richard Sanderson is doing another one of his free-for-all projects Two Minutes Left over at Linear Obsessional Recordings (Submissions open until December 15th). I took part in last year’s Button Box with a spoken word piece from my story “Carlos” that appears in the second Fox Pockets anthology, Shapeshifters. That recording is free to download: So…

2013 Round Up
I think of this as the “sabbatical year” but the truth is it’s only the second half that’s been that delirious wild ride of freedom time for reflection, research and writing. I don’t tend to be the kind of person who spends much time looking back, but it’s helpful at times to assess where you’ve…

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…
New Releases: It’s a Curse and Shapeshifters
Never rains but it pours, eh? No matter how I space out submissions and contracts, my publications always seem to come in a bunch, eh? If you haven’t been keeping up with Blackwitch Press, you may be surprised that there’s quite a tidy number of Roman Dalton, werewolf PI stories available. Not just Paul D….
Writer Wednesday: News Updates
This week has been particularly hectic work-wise, although as usual I find plenty of time to idle as well, remembering Jerome K. Jerome’s wise words, “It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.” I have a conference paper to finish on Lynda Barry as well as line edits…
