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

I say “Basically”, “You know”, “So”, and “Um” … quite a lot, basically, you know?
My voice gets ludicrously high pitched when I get a bit excited.
I have cursed myself to …

Rick, Harry, and I have all been interviewed by the Hypergeek website about the forthcoming release of The Dark.
We all answered our questions seperately, and it is interesting to see the areas in which we see the book differently as well as the areas in which we agree!
A great chance to get a little “behind the scenes” peek at the workings of a trans-atlantic creative team and a trans-atlantic publisher.
