We've woken up, but we still need a cure to Insomnia The news broke several days ago now that Insomnia Publications had released all of its creators from their contracts. Everyone received a short, polite email from publisher Crawford Coutts, and thus ended many weeks of speculation, worry, and countless threats of violence. The rumour mill continues to...

Chris vs. Five Reasons iPhone vs. Android isn't Mac... Tim O'Reilly tweeted out what he called a "compelling" article today, the titular "Five Reasons iPhone vs. Android isn't Mac vs Windows" by Mark Sigal. Having read the article I countered by tweeting that I thought the article was "biased" and "unbalanced". Tim, in turn, was gracious enough to tweet...

Accent UK have given me the green light to announce that their 2011 anthology will be entitled “Victoriana”.
I knew this some time back and it was at the front of my mind when I penned the short “The Clockwork Occultist”, which I am delighted to be able to let you know will be included in this anthology. Victoriana is a favourite theme/meme of mine, so I’m pretty chuffed to be the first out of the gate with something for the 2011 Accent book, which will no doubt continue to be a “who’s who” of UK talent.
“The Clockwork Occultist” is a tale of Victorian time travel, steam powered legs, very big guns, a hero, a villian, vampires, and Hitler … steampunk Hitler … being ably illustrated by a new partner in crime Terry Cooper. Terry has kindly sketched out page 1 for us, complete with some dialog to whet the appetite …
So, keep your eyes peeled in 2011!
In the meantime don’t forget that “The Law of Horus”, by Nic Wilkinson and I, will be featuring in the upcoming Accent anthology “Predators” in 2010.

I am very pleased to able to blognounce that Terry Cooper will be putting the images to the words of my new short “The Clockwork Occultist”.
Exactly where this short will be turning up is under wraps at the moment, but if you like time travel, vampires, nazis, steampunk contraptions and villians with clockwork legs, then it is safe to say that this is the story that will deliver for you!
Whilst Terry is working away on the artwork, he’s put together this rather nifty logo as a little teaser for the story. Feel free to pinch it, post it, and link to it.
