Though I am forced to admit it was a collaborative effort, with most of the heavy lifting done by the other author. 3am on June 10th saw the publication of Daniel Morgan Cottinelli, pictured below congratulating his old man on his maiden nappy change. And here he is again, when we told him his old [...]

• Penultimate Pre-pub Taste
Habit took his feet south, put him on the Boulevard of the Ineffable Divine. He didn’t think Archeth would be back from An-Monal yet, but there was always Kefanin to talk to in the meantime. Ishgrim to leer at, if she chose to put in an appearance. And anyway, he reminded himself, a little sourly, [...]

• Altered Carbon for President!
Vote for Me! Vote for Me! (or not, as you see fit…. ) Been so busy haring around Europe talking to game designers that I managed to almost completely miss this. Gollancz is celebrating fifty years of SF publishing by creating a list of the top twenty five fantasy and the top twenty five SF [...]

CONVICTED PAEDOPHILE PLUNGES TO DEATH IN FAULTY GUARDRAIL SCANDAL Quite a few people have mailed me over the last couple of days, asking for my feelings about the death of Osama bin Laden. Read the headline above and you’ll have a rough idea. On the one hand, yeah, it’s a disgrace that the municipal authority [...]

• Backing Tracking
DONE!!!!! Final line penned (er – keyboarded) this morning – The Cold Commands is a wrap! As they say in Spanish, Cha-Chan!!! Of course, this is all slightly deceptive. There’s actually a fair bit of work still to be done. The rough cut goes out to Simon Spanton at Gollancz tomorrow, and I now have [...]

• You Believe This Shit? (reprise)
Further to my rant from a couple of months ago of the same name, I received a very heartening e-mail from a ranking serviceman yesterday. He is, broadly speaking, in sympathy with the dynamic of Wikileaks (though he admits that there are those among his colleagues who are not) and implies he is far from [...]

• Three Line WIP
So – delivery approaches. Matter of a few weeks now. Final chapters and then some polishing. Meantime, all you lovely, patient people – li’l Archeth for ya: His imperial radiance Jhiral Khimran II was executing traitors in the Chamber of Confidences when they got back. Archeth had Anasharal brought up to the palace anyway. She’d [...]

Happy New Year, n all that…….. So I’m back in an airport lounge again, up since 5 am and on my way to a battery of meetings in a foreign land – which is to say, 2011 begins much as 2010 ended. And so, with typical no-real-sleep crankiness, here’s something that struck me as I [...]

• You believe this shit?
Imagine for a moment that you know a man who beats his wife. Beats his wife, has beaten her for years. Puts her in hospital on a regular basis. Breaks bones, lacerates flesh, damages internal organs. He has never been prosecuted for these offences because he is a powerful man locally, and you both live [...]

Oh, alright – since you asked for it. Here’s some of what the Dragonbane’s been doing recently: He found the pawn shop easily enough – there were several on that stretch of the An-Monal road, but only a couple offered rooms above. Counting the time spent to climb one of the staircases in the dizzying [...]
