I do consider all the concepts you’ve introduced to your post. They are really convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for beginners. May just you please lengthen them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

Neal, dude! It has been a long time! Good to hear from you. How are you getting on in Crete with Greek Anger at Austerity lashing out at all and sundry? Getting any sour looks from the locals?

In answer to your question, La Axarquia is a temporary state of affairs; we’re renting not buying, and doing some soul searching about where we want to be. I certainly want Daniel to plug into Spanish culture, but at the same time I don’t want him to miss out on being British. Despite the kick ass climate and quality of life, there are a number of downsides to life out here and an equal number of things I really miss about home.

Internet – for better or worse – is easy to come by; most of the time, my connection is better than the one I have with BT in Glasgow. It’s by hill-top beacon, so if you get very wet, foggy or cloudy weather, you can see your load times drop through the floor – but wet, fog and cloud aren’t things you see a lot of out here………

You think the internet is a distraction from getting any work done – try having a baby, man!!

Hmmmm re the Syndicate thing. I was all “forget this thing, it sucks, it is a travesty, how DARE they make it an FPS!” but Richard Morgan as head-writer .. hmmmmm.

Yes, the tumble weeds were noticeable. Is this a permanent move or a back-and-forth job like mine? Is your Internet connection any good there or do you have to make a weekly trip to an Internet cafe? That can be a bind if it is the case, but I’ve also found it ups my production rate – turn the laptop on and there’s nothing to do but write.

@Linda P-

Plus, y’know:

“I stole fire from the High Gods, and forged it into a new weapon against them. I commanded angels in battle, brought bat-winged demons out of the dark to overthrow the old order, I crossed the void as a fucking _song_ so that the old order would fall. I broke those fuckers in battle over the arch of this world when none could or would do it but me.”

Angelfire, the team from the Soul Market, martians, needlecasting… it’s all there, really.

Thanks for the update! Exciting news.

I’m reading Woken Furies again right now and I think it would make an excellent film. I’m sure Altered Carbon will be a big success.

Cheers!

Just noticed that Altered Carbon is the 20th best SF book according to Reddit.
