AUTUMN: AFTERMATH is out this week. To get you in the mood, here’s the first of two pieces of free fiction to set the scene for the new book, both beautifully illustrated by David Naughton-Shires. Today, let me introduce you to SKIN. SKIN’s story is important, as you’ll see, because it has an impact on [...]
Earlier this week I showed you the sights of post-apocalyptic Lowestoft thanks to the artwork of David Naughton-Shires. Many of you will know that David also provided a number of pieces of art for www.lastoftheliving.net. I thought it was about time I featured him here and talked a little more about his work. When the [...]
You’ve heard me talking about Lowestoft a lot recently. Ryan Fleming, one of Moody’s Survivors, visited the town after reading THEM OR US and, armed with the book, a local, and a tourist’s guide of the area (written by me), he took photographs of some key locations. The very talented David Naughton-Shires (who you’ve met [...]
Okay, maybe that headline’s a little unfair on Lowestoft: it’s not really the end of the world, but it is the east coast town where much of THEM OR US takes place, and it’s where I was last Thursday evening to mark the UK release of the final book in the HATER trilogy. I’m going [...]
As promised, OFFICE POLITICS is now available to read on www.lastoftheliving.net. Of all the 40+ shorts I’ve written based in the AUTUMN world, this is one of my favourites, if not my favourite of all. During the writing of the AUTUMN novels, I’d often come up with interesting scenarios which didn’t quite fit into any [...]
The first part of another new story has just been added to www.lastoftheliving.net. Jacob Flynn is not a particularly nice person, but even he doesn’t deserve what’s about to happen to him. You see, because of certain things Jacob did recently, he’s found himself in absolutely the worst place to be when the world ends. [...]
Another week, another brief slug of free zombie fiction… This week an excerpt from the beginning of AUTUMN: THE CITY has been added to www.lastoftheliving.net, and a new story BRIGID CULTHORPE (brilliantly illustrated once again by David Naughton-Shires). Brigid’s another new character who appears in AUTUMN: PURIFICATION. Also added to the site this week are a number of great pieces [...]
A new story has been added to www.lastoftheliving.net, the first of three shorts for this month. Jim Harper appears in the forthcoming Autumn: Purification (out in the UK on April 21st, US August 16th), and his story has been illustrated by David Naughton-Shires (see www.knightwatchpress.info for more of David’s work).
This weekend just gone I was a guest at the Phoenix Convention in Dublin. A very small and informal event in comparison to the recent SFX Weekender and the like, it was a great opportunity to catch up with friends and spend a weekend in Ireland with the missus. The convention has an almost exclusively [...]
