blogtalkradio-thedarkMy interview with the Parsec award nominated Sci Fi Pulse Podcast is now available.

You can listen online via Blog Talk Radio or download for iTunes.

I heard from Ian at Sci Fi Pulse today that the interview is Blog Talk Radio’s “Pick of the Day”, which is great news and no doubt a testament to Ian’s editing skills!

I had a great time recording this, I can’t imagine how much effort went into editing my almost endless manic rambling down into something useful, but kudos to the guys at Sci Fi Pulse for managing it.

Next podcast from me will be a very cheeky interview with the ladies of Comic Racks, in which Stuart misbehaves himself a great deal.

Waiting for the Trade Podcast review of The Dark

Many thanks to Dave at Waiting for the Trade (They like big books and they cannot lie) for featuring The Dark on the latest episode of the WFTT Podcast.

Dave will put a full review up on the website in due course, but for now I am more than happy to hear someone so exercised by the idea of Memetech and getting so engaged with the story. Hopefully Dave will be equally happy when he’s reached the second half and all of the secrets have been revealed.

Don’t take my word for it though, listen to Waiting for the Trade.

Sidekick Cast Episode 33: Don’t be afraid of The Dark

sidekick33Racuous, crazy, and great fun … at least until I turned up  ;-) … it’s Sidekickcast Episode 33.

Gentlemen … let’s play darts!

I had a fantastic time recording this with Bones and Dan, and I really think that comes through. These guys are always great value. Dan’s done a cracking job of editing some sense into what was several hours of comic book related madness.

If you want to hear a very different take on The Dark to other’s I’ve recorded, and also hear my head almost explode trying to crack this episode’s Secrets and Lies, don’t miss this episode of this always outstanding podcast.

The Sidekicks are also running a competition to win a mug featuring fantastic artwork by Rob Jackson and a cack-handed signature by me

Comic Book Outsiders Interview now available

comicbookoutsidersI had the immense privilege of being interviewed by the fine fellows Comic Book Outsiders this week about The Dark as well as other matters comic and, after some fine editing of my more rambling and incoherent moments, the interview is now online and ready for your eager ears.

I have just listened to it and can indeed confirm the following …

  1. I say “Basically”, “You know”, “So”, and “Um” … quite a lot, basically, you know?
  2. My voice gets ludicrously high pitched when I get a bit excited.
  3. I have cursed myself to decorate or fall foul of a terrible fate in October
  4. There is no such thing as a dance acamdemy for bees
  5. I do not own a Nokia 3210, but have done and have a disturbingly impressive knowledge of the specification.
  6. My only good advice for other comic writers is to marry an English Teacher

So, if want to find out what kind of interview can possibly cover such strange and rambling ground, I recommend Comic Book Outsiders Episode 68!

It was great to hear such positivity about the story, the ideas in The Dark, and the twisting plotlines. Barry has only had the first three chapters to read so far, and I’m really looking forward to hearing what he has to say when he reads the final chapter in the trade.
