The Outcast Hours is Out
March 07, 2019
Slightly belated, but, hey! After a year of construction and months of fretting and weeks of self-promotion - The Outcast Hours is, indeed, out.
The details of this scrumptious new anthology are here, including links to some of the particularly flattering reviews. Mahvesh and I kicked off the launch with three events - two in London, one 'virtual' on reddit - and are now in the awkward 'post-launch, just stare' stage. If you don't have a copy, it is never too late. If you do have a copy, well - thanks.
Incidentally, if you are a school/prison/library/community centre/other institution that would like a copy for your shelves, please let me know, and I will happily send you a copy for free. While they last.
Admin news: the newsletter has migrated over to substack, and contains deep and meaningful thoughts about good intentions and publishing with form.
Mugs, A People's Future, AMA
February 14, 2019
Latest newsletter harps on about crockery.
A review of A People's Future of the United States, over at Tor.com.
And the publicity tour for The Outcast Hours has a new, virtual, stop, as Mahvesh and I will be doing a late night AMA on reddit, 22nd February.
Loneliness and other late night thoughts
February 05, 2019
Recent newsletters: on loneliness and other wicked problems and The Outcast Hours and universal/personal relevance.
Not much else, although worth noting that the rather delicious The Djinn Falls in Love is still lurking about at 99¢.
Ah, and the companion website for The Best of British Fantasy is up and running. Very skeletal, but it'll get there.
