The Sky Is Falling...
Firstly, an explanation. I stopped posting in November for a number of reasons, some of which were personal, but mainly so that I could knuckle down and get my novel finished. As anybody who reads these pages will know, I've been trying to 'make it' as a Writer (the big-W is important) for a long time, and in November I decided to set everything else aside to concentrate on the one thing that's always given me pleasure. Sorry to any regular readers out there, and thanks to the people who posted supportive comments following my farewell speach.
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the grand announcement. I've finally done it, I've finally 'made it'. Literally. My first novel is now available to buy. Yay!
If I'm being honest, calling it a novel is maybe wrong; it might be more appropriate to call it a novelette. It had it's official release on Friday 17 March, to coincide with the birthday of author William Gibson, and is intended as the first in an ongoing series. If you want to know more, why not take a wander over to the entry for it on the publisher's website and check it out.
As a result, I will be updating the look and layout of the blog soon, but not straight away - anybody who remembers my last attempt at playing with the code for this place will know that I'm not the neatest person in the world when it comes to things like that.
In the meantime I have a second book to write and a deadline to meet. That's going to be released to commemorate a sci-fi birthday as well (as are the rest of the books in the series), but I'm not telling you which one. I can't sit chatting all day, I have a book to finish.
Welcome back, Sleepsville. I've missed you.

Well, welcome back and congrats on the book. Glad to hear one of us broke through.
Anyhow, I've been busy getting Ninja Hamster Productions off the ground, and we already have our first project in production.
Anyhoo, I digress, welcome back and long may your success go into print.
Once upon a time there was a tiny, tiny chicken named Chicken Little. One day Chicken Little was scratching in the garden when something fell on her head.
"Oh," cried Chicken Little, "the sky is falling. I must go tell the king."
So Chicken Little ran and ran, and she met Henny Penny.
"Where do you travel so fast, Chicken Little?" asked Henny Penny.
"Ah, Henny Penny," said Chicken Little, "the sky is falling, and I must go and tell the king."
"How do you know that the sky is falling, Chicken Little?" asked Henny Penny.
"I saw it with my eyes, I held the book in my hands, and read the words of Zendik's story " said Chicken Little.
Henny Penny understood the significance of Chicken Little's words and pointed her browser to www.lulu.com and ordered her own copy.
She also wondered who this "King" was that Chicken Little talked about...
Carl: Thanks for the thanks, and thanks for the e-mail.
Ash: He he he he. I like. Thank you.
