Shorts
No, not the kind you wear, or the kind you drink – though I’m a BIG fan of both – but the kind you read. Yes, the lovely people at Tor.com have teamed up with those charming gentlemen of the speculative George RR Martin and Gardner Dozois to bring you a sample story from their […]
The Walking Dead Series 2
Yeah, I know I’m way behind, but so it goes. Don’t spoiler me, people. Enjoyed this quite a lot, actually, though not without its weaknesses. I’d heard it was rather a limited/small scale/disappointing season and, yeah, they did use smaller locations and tread water quite a bit, but it still delivered on the basic premise […]
World Fantasy Convention
So the World Fantasy Convention, along with its galaxy of authors, publishers, editors, agents, and serious fans from the length and longth of the known world is coming to Brighton in a couple of weeks, and I will be amongst it for the first time. Probably going to be pretty busy because a lot, and […]
Dangerous Women
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but just a reminder that the GRRM and Gardner Dozois edited mammoth cross-genre anthology Dangerous Women is coming December 3rd, with stories not about safe men from me and, well, some other authors whose names you’re probably not that bothered about. What? You are bothered? Alright, then – Jim Butcher, Diana […]
Intermission
This being a wednesday, there’s a new page up at www.firstlawcomic.com, the last of the fourth issue and, I’m sorry to say, it’s going to be the last that goes up there for the time being. The four full issues – 90 pages – that have already been published will stay live on the site, […]
Gemmell me this and that
It just so happens that today is the final deadline for the David Gemmell Legend Award, so you might want to put your vote in over here. I’ve no idea who’s on the list. Oh, look, I am. On one of my favourite genre blogs, Pornokitsch, Jared has been going over the various shortlists and […]
Graphic Novel Print Collection
You can pre-order the print collection of the first four issues of The First Law Graphic Novel now over here at Blind Ferret’s online shop. It should be possible to get delivery to pretty much anywhere, I am told, though there may be some cost implications. Just so that no one gets confused, this is a […]
Graphic Novel Print Collection
A quick heads up that the print collection of issues 1-4 of the First Law Graphic Novel will be available for preorder from Monday, and here’s the cover: Click upon it to reveal its full glory, then complain about it if you dare because I think it’s fricking GREAT. Along with all the internals, art […]
Back from Russia
Phew. Back from Russia, and it was quite a trip. Probably the busiest foreign trip I’ve done in terms of sheer density of interviews and events. 10 or more print interviews and 3 TV ones, 5 bookshops, a reading at a library, a panel at an outdoor festival, and a Q&A at the Moscow Book […]
Russia
The Heroes is out this week in Russia, and I’m going over there for a week or so as a guest of my publisher Eksmo, attending the Moscow Book Fair, EveryCon, and doing a bunch of interviews and other events. The schedule for public events, in as much detail as I have: Sat September 7th […]
