The new, new thing?
So, as promised last week, tis time to ponder the next book to be worked on by yours truly. Here are a few birds that could be popped in the pot and brought to the boil over the next 12-months or so … A new Sliding Void scifi novel (book #7)… this has the same crew […]
Not all who wander are Void-Lost.
So, it is that time of the year again, when a new Stephen Hunt novel sits in the literary drydock awaiting some minor member of the nobility to come along and crack a bottle of bubbly across her spine, launching said space opera adventure into the crowded market of a million other competitors. None of […]
Cover me!
I’m going to tell you something I don’t believe I have told you before. It’s a shocking secret about yours truly. Some of you may think of me as an author, but before I was a writer, before I was even an unpublished wannabe author, I was a failed comic-book artist. That is to say, […]
Voyage of the Void-Lost (Sliding Void #6).
As I think I mentioned before, I’ve started work on the 6th book in the Sliding Void series for you fans of old-school space opera and high adventure hijinks. It’s called ‘Voyage of the Void-Lost‘ and as I’m now 20,000 words in, I have just dropped the work-in-progress into my happy Patreons’ mitts. These novels […]
A Shortfall of Gravitas?
So, Elon Musk has just tweeted me (and, to be fair, about a few billion other people at the same time), that his new SpaceX droneship will be called “A Shortfall of Gravitas”. I think I can spot a fellow Iain M. Banks ‘Culture‘ SF books fan out there! It makes me wonder if I […]
Your chance to appear in my novels!
All new books published by me will now contain a page in the ebook/print novel thanking my Patreons by name. If you are super-shy or in a witness protection program and would rather not be thanked, please let me know! The first book that will get this treatment is the ‘The Pashtun Boy’s Paradise’ up […]
Wide boy?
So, I’ve recently made the monumental decision to ‘go wide’ with my (currently) ten indie genre novels. For those of you with a British 1980s childhood, you can cancel those visions of Rick Astley and Duran Duran from your mind … wrong sort of Wide Boy. Going wide as an author means withdrawing novels from […]
Stay sharp?
So, another birthday has passed by at warp speed, along with an annual opportunity for a bit of life-goal crop rotation and soul searching. Reader, I am sad to report that no great catharsis has been reached. No state of Zen-like satori gained. When you realise nothing is lacking, the whole world belongs to you. […]
Back to the … Future?
A bit of a blast from the past, this week, with the revised editions of my first two fantasy novels – For The Crown and the Dragon, and its sequel, The Fortress in The Frost – hitting the streets in both print and e-book format for the first time in thirty years. I offered to […]
Hair Cut One Hundred
Well, I’ve just invested in a pair of hair clippers for a quarantine cut, and if things go wrong next week, I might have to start rocking the China Miéville-look – although not half as alluring as the author of Perdido Street Station, obviously (I’d end up more of a Poundstore Kojak if matters slip sideways). On the work front, […]
