Story Sale

I'm delighted to announce that a story of mine entitled BROKENBACK ISLE has been accepted for the next Ash Tree Press anthology "Shades of Darkness".

Before you ask, there are no gay cowboys in the story, but the familiar-sounding title has a rather nasty meaning in terms of the plot.

Far from being Humdrum...

Here's a press release from those wonderful people at Humdrumming:

Skin of the back...

Vincent Chong recently sent me the chilling back cover for DIFFERENT SKINS. It still needs the barcode, etc, but everything else is as it will appear on the reverse of the finished book.

Just to clarify, the front cover represents the novella "Even the Dead Die" and the back cover illustration relates to the second novella, "In the Skin". You'll have to read the book to find out how the images tie in with the tales.

Also, if you hit the FREE FICTION! link to the right of this post, you can read my British Fantasy Award recommended story COMEBACK...
