I’m off on holiday next week (providing the volcanic ash blows the other way), and I’ll be taking a stack of books to catch up with while I’m away. I’ve actually managed to get through a few books recently (unusual for me) and I thought it would be good idea to share some of them [...]
Always happy to help out a couple of mates… On Saturday 14th May, Forbidden Planet Glasgow will host a joint signing by Iain McKinnon (Domain of the Dead) and Travis Adkins (Twilight of the Dead, After Twilight). I believe it’s Travis’ first visit to the area, and by the looks of the poster below, it [...]
Remember those ‘choose your own adventure’ books which used to be hugely popular? Many a wasted hour was spent back in the day, working my way through the stories… getting killed, going back a few pages, taking another option until I’d finally been through all the alternatives and fought my way to the finish. It [...]
I feel particularly bad about this, but it’s illustrative of how busy the last year has been: this post is horrendously overdue. I met Remy Porter back in March 2010 and I was sent a copy of DEAD BEAT in June last year. I promised to give the book some exposure here but, unfortunately, it took [...]
Yes, I know I’m late with this – I should really have written about it being ‘Read an ebook week‘ on Monday, not Friday, but it’s been one of those weeks (one of those months, actually). It’s an initiative which was originally designed to get people to try ebooks, but it seems slightly less relevant [...]
I’m sure plenty of you are aware of James Melzer. He’s the evil genius behind the Unleashed podcast, and the author of ESCAPE – the first book in a new trilogy of zombie novels coming later this year from Permuted Press and Pocket Books. James got in touch with me a while back and invited [...]
Well that was an excellent weekend, if a little hectic. I wanted to thank everyone who made both the SFX Weekender and yesterday’s signing at Waterstone’s Leicester Highcross such successful events. The Weekender was much improved from last year’s inaugural event, and congratulations to the SFX team for putting it together. The highlight for me [...]
Many of you will already know Wayne. And you’ll know that I know Wayne too. He’s a good friend of mine and I’ve written before about his books FLU and DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. With DDG currently getting a long-overdue re-release through Snowbooks, Wayne’s in the middle of a blog-swap tour and today it’s his turn [...]
Good news – I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be making a return visit to Waterstone’s Leicester on 6th February between 3pm and 5pm to celebrate the re-release of Autumn: The City in the US and UK. Even more good news – this event will be a joint signing with Wayne Simmons to celebrate the [...]
I know I’ve already mentioned this a couple of times, but I’m really pleased for Eric and I’m thrilled that The War of the Worlds plus Blood, Guts and Zombies – his first mass market release – is now available.
