Making books, telling stories

June 15, 2018 • 1 Comment

Readers may remember this from six months ago, where I posit that making books as a meditation, and possibly a side-business, might be a thing. Well, I bit the bullet. It is now a thing. I've got a couple of projects that aren't going to be 'commercial' in the acceptable sense of the word, and Facebook friends...

Writing two books in one year, and other stories

February 20, 2018 • 3 Comments

That was 2017 for me. And before I start, it’s not a complaint. Writing isn’t coal mining (tungsten carbide drills? What the bloody hell are tungsten carbide drills? https://youtu.be/0l6ko5EIHrc).

New publicity photographs

November 21, 2017 • No Comments

I am not the most photogenic of people. Let's be honest, I'm not the most people of people. And when someone advances on me with a camera, my reaction is either to scowl or pull a silly face. On occasions, however - usually on pain of death - I have to behave. Gollanczfest was one of those occasions. The...

Where's my newsletter?

November 1, 2017 • No Comments

Bread and Salt, my roughly-monthly newsletter, normally happens at the end of every month. Timings are ... flexible, however. With Gollanczfest happening at the weekend, I'm going to post something the week after. Hopefully with photos, if I can manage that, and if not, following. If you want to sign up ahead...
