One day I’ll stop talking about Hint Fiction, I really will. Today isn’t that day though, so please bear with me and I’ll keep it brief.
The anthology is reviewed over at Vol 1 Brooklyn and for some reason it made me smile. Maybe this little excerpt will hint at why.
‘The stories that follow his introduction, arranged into three sections (“Life & Death,” “Love & Hate,” and “This & That”), occupy a wide stylistic and emotional range. Among the highlights: Peter Straub, L.R. Bonehill, and Joe R. Lansdale embracing the pulp potential of the form…’
Yep – still smiling.

Thursday, 28 October 2010 What? Really? Me? No way!
Thanks to the divine Mercedes Yardley for pointing me in the direction of a small, home-made fanzine called The New Yorker this morning.
If you want to see why, check it out here.
You can even get a sneak-peek at my contribution to the fantastic Hint Fiction anthology. Well, not quite a sneak-peek more like the whole glorious deal.
Before you head over there, I’ll tell you that my story is entitled Cull, just so you know you’re in for some happy reading.
Is this real? Is it time to wake up yet?

Thursday, 7 October 2010 Hammered
Films, as much as stories and books, made me want to write way back when I was young. Some of those early inspirations were the classic Universal monster flicks, the Amicus portmanteau films and, of course, the seemingly endless supply of Hammer productions.
The good news is that Hammer is back with a remake of the Swedish original Let the Right One In, and a number of other works in progress.
All well and good and I hope it works out.
What I found really interesting though, was that they’re venturing into the publishing world too. Arrow Books are gearing up a Hammer imprint and the first title will be a novella by renowned literary author Jeanette Winterson. More details here.
It may well be too early to say things are looking up for our much maligned genre, but I’m certainly looking forward to this and hope they can deliver.
Baited breath, and all that.

Tuesday, 5 October 2010 Flashing Freebies
I’ve been remiss with this little blog for a while now for a multitude of reasons far too dull to mention, but I really should point you in the direction of this.
Now, go bag yourself some flashy goodies.

Wednesday, 1 September 2010 The Grindstone
Back to work today after a break that included a few days by the sea, an all-action theme park, a smelly zoo, too much food, not enough drink, and general messing / lazing around with the kids. Good stuff.
I’d like to say I feel refreshed and primed for action, but already it’s like I’ve never been away. Why is it always like that?
The holidays played havoc with my writing time, so I’m hoping that will pick up again once the kids are back at school tomorrow and I can really knuckle down and get something done. Here’s hoping.
It was the wallet that really bore the brunt of the summer assault though and it’s currently feeling decidedly sorry for itself and looking more than a little worse for wear.
I’m about to put a hastily made sign up in my office window to attract any passers-by: Will Write for Food.
That should help.
