My 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 …

Rick Lundeen, my partner in crimes against fiction and the artistic genius behind “The Dark”, will be signing copies of The Dark at Graham Crackers in Downers Grove, Illinois on April 7th.
This is an alternative date to the original March 31st date, owing to shipping issues with the books.

This is a rare opportunity for fans of the book to meet up with the man who created the graphic novel’s unique look and who gave life to its disturbing creations.
Best of luck to Rick for the signing!

The good, good people of Waterstones will be letting me loose in their Cribbs Causeway store on April 24th at 1pm.
This is the first time I have signed in a “mainstream” book store as opposed to a specialist comic store or a convention; I’m really looking forward to introducing some non-comics fans to The Dark as well as meeting up with any comics fans who come by.
There are some details of the signing up on the Waterstone’s website and, of course, there is a Facebook event if you want to …

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 …

Ed Kaye followed up his review of Issue #1 of The Dark by giving us his take on the whole story …
Not only has Chris Lynch created an incredibly interesting concept to use as the basis of this story, but he’s also created an incredibly unique plot … Rick Lundeen’s linework on this story has a very clean and smooth look to it, which is complimented by some really vibrant colouring …
The Dark is a highly original and inventive graphic novel, with an intriguing and involving plot that really keeps …

It’s that most vital of things … the home town signing! Chris will be Forbidden Planet, Cardiff, from 5pm to 6pm to sign copies of The Dark. Terror abounds as I face friends and family in my “professional” capacity as the mind behind the book, so any and all support is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks to the guys at Forbidden Planet for squeezing this into their busy signings schedule. If you are interested, please sign up for our Facebook Event so that they now how many people to expect. (Not that …

I will be appearing at Ace Comics in Richmond, along with Huw J and Harry Markos, to sign copies of The Dark on March 20th. Ace are already offering copies of The Dark at a discount price with free shipping via their website.

The signing will run from 12:00 – 15:00, so hopefully I will have plenty of time to talk to everyone who comes in. Podcasters and bloggers are welcome to get in touch in advance to arrange interviews before, during, or after the session.
Other than for conventions, …

Racuous, 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 …

OK, you’ll need to excuse the pun. Ace is a superlative I don’t think I’ve used since junior school. I put it away in the big-box-of-words-I-no-longer-use along with “mega”, “brill” (except when referring to the fish), and “wicked” (except when describing witches and rather nifty anthology comics from FutureQuake Press.
Something that is genuinely, actually, and properly ace though is the new Ace Comics website, not least because the guys at Ace have been kind enough to place The Dark and Freeman front and centre on their brand new homepage for …
