An irregular collection of awesome stuff from my inboxes
I get a lot of mail, facebook messages and twitterings full of awesome stuff, much to the disgruntlement of my postperson when I have stuff delivered I am sure. And what is a Geek to do but share the joy with the world and shout from high mountains of the wonders the world does behold… For a geek loves to share his/her bounty with all… But as I never get time to do a post about everything individually, here is a post of many things, a cornucopia of delightful and rounding up of news from the summer so far…
Upon the isle of Hopeless Maine, Victims now reside…
The third volume of Tom and Nimue Brown’s Hopeless Maine is now out in the world and ready for your eyes to feast upon… https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hopeless-Maine-3-Tom-Brown/dp/1908830166/ If you have not read the previous volumes yet I can only ask why do you flagellate your soul by not doing so… ‘Remedy this situation’ is my most ardent suggestion, or you may never know who is stealing your spoons…
Tantamount and the year of the sad plastic bag…
The ethereal Meridith Deboniree has collected her history of the delightful town of Tantamount on the banks of the river Seven into a form the town’s library will accept. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tales-Tantamount-starting-Abandoned-continuing-ebook/dp/B07TVQ2KSL Now if only the library would stay in one place so she could drop off a copy there… If she can negotiate with The Carrion to let her pass and the Shadow council permit it… Frankly, this is too weird and wonderful for you not to read it…

Those wonderful folks at Sixth Element have produced the second of there Harvey Duckman anthologies crammed full of fresh new talents and old favourites. As well as a crotchety old hack from Yorkshire… https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harvey-Duckman-Presents-2-Book/dp/B07TZBX55C Volume 3 is now in production and plans for volume 4 are well advanced. If you like discovering new writers and fabulous stories, and who doesn’t, feed your imagination with the strange, the weird and the wonderful…
Kapow…
In a rare public appearance, having been strategically shaved, and crammed into an airship-pilots shirt I hung around with a whole bunch of other authors, a half dozen stormtroopers, a Harry Potter stage magician, a T-rex, Some delightful ladies singing something called frozen, and a whole host of damn fine geekery at Kapow Sci-Fi Fair in Stockton last weekend. This is an utterly useless update as it has already happened, unless you have a time machine, in which case what better use could you put it to than to nip back in time and have a chance to buy a book or two. Maybe you already did, in which case it was a pleasure to meet you… And I am posting this here to avoid breaking continuity…
