At some point in this post I’m going to talk about Game Night sales and vaccinations, but I’m going to start off about talking about one of the pitfalls of reviewing, which is that a review is not so much a description of how much you enjoyed the book as a prediction as to how [...]

I’m currently doing a blog tour to promote the publication of Game Night, in its entirety, on EN World in weekly instalments (you can start reading it here). I’ve just made the latest stop at Ian Sturrock’s Blog, where he first interviews me, and then launches a competition that has a free copy of Game [...]

I’m very pleased to announce that not only will I be attending Odyssey 2010, this year’s Eastercon, but that I’ll be on a panel too: a discussion on “Humour in SF” that’s provisionally scheduled for 11am on the Monday morning. I’ll post again when I have more details of the panel, or if the time [...]

I posted a few weeks ago to say that we (James Wallis of Magnum Opus Press, my publisher, EN World, and I) were going to be publishing the whole of Game Night on the web, in twenty-six weekly instalments.

It’s now less than a week to go to the launch of the free weekly serialisation of Game Night on EN World and the launch of the ebook version of Game Night (which will be in PDF initially with other formats to follow later).
(Details of the free weekly serialisation and the ebook release).
Obviously, I’ll [...]

There used to be a simple principle when it came to getting custom designed T-Shirts printed. They would either be fairly cheap and very crap (screen printed); more expensive, but still fairly crap (transfer sheet); or very expensive and still not very good (embroidered).
Most people ended up with transfer printed white t-shirts, and since I [...]

Hi all,
It’s coming up to a couple of years since Game Night was published, so now seems the right time to do something different. Something big. Something that will get it out there to all the people who not only haven’t yet read it, but haven’t yet even heard of it.
We’re doing this. I’m pretty [...]

Marie Phillips (@mpphillips), author of Gods Behaving Badly, tweeted the following this morning:
Preparing my first ever day of Creative Writing teaching for teens for First Story http://bit.ly/aCq9A Any advice welcome!
Well I figured I’d bash my advice out, random and uninformed as it is, as a blog post, and then tweet that. So here it is!

Back at the start of the year, I released in PDF form a free novella-length prequel to my novel Game Night. The 30,000 word novella, Saving Stone, told the tale of an earlier adventure by Game Night’s roleplaying gods and their poor, confused mortal “characters”.
