October 2008
My third story set in the fictional town of Birchiam-on-Sea — ‘Pages from a Broken Book’ — is now out in Black Static #7. What happened to the second one, I hear you ask? Well, despite the fact I wrote it before PfaBB, it isn’t out yet. It’s called ‘Birchiam Pier,’ and is due to be published in The British Invasion.
October means Halloween, and Halloween means World Fantasy. Met a load of old friends, made some new ones, got taken to dinner by my editor, and read from ‘Dark Rain’. Calgary is a nice little town with excellent restaurants and — though it should have been freezing and even snowing — the weather was kind to us for pretty much the entire convention.
