Halfway through January and it’s just a few weeks to go until the UK release of OSIRIS. Last week I received a copy of the final version of the book – the marvellous folk at Del Rey UK have done me proud, it’s a beautiful production, embossed title and all.

Twelve for 2012 and upcoming for 2013
With all the ‘best of 2012’ posts around I couldn’t resist a little list-making of my own. Last year, with official writing deadlines for the first time, I was more aware than ever how little time I have to read, especially as I’m a slow reader. The one positive outcome of this is choosing myContinue reading “Twelve for 2012 and upcoming for 2013”
Two anthologies
Two happy anthology announcements: firstly, my short story The Complex, which appeared in the January/February edition of Interzone this year, is to be included in an anthology, The Best British Fantasy 2013 from Salt Publishing, due for publication in April next year. Secondly, I will be contributing a story to Pandemonium: The Lowest Heaven. This is theContinue reading “Two anthologies”
The Next Big Thing
The Next Big Thing is here! Or the next thing, or, the something. Last week Guy Adams tagged me in his next big thing blog.

Chicago in pictures
My trip to Chicago was rounded off with, somewhat inconveniently, moving house. After a beautiful ten days in 27 degree clear skies, I returned home, packed, moved, cleaned, and cleaned some more. I’ve finally got round to digging out my photos and it appears I mostly took pictures of skyscrapers, plants, and the zoo. ThisContinue reading “Chicago in pictures”
Ebury to publish OSIRIS
What with packing for both a house move in a couple of weeks and an upcoming trip to Chicago for Worldcon, it’s taken me a couple of days to get this post written… But I’m thrilled to be able to say that OSIRIS has found a UK home! Michael Rowley, Editorial Director at Ebury has boughtContinue reading “Ebury to publish OSIRIS”
