My interview with the Parsec award nominated Sci Fi Pulse Podcast is now available.
You can listen online via Blog Talk Radio or download for iTunes.
I heard from Ian at Sci Fi Pulse today that the interview is Blog Talk Radio’s “Pick of the Day”, which is great news and no doubt a testament to Ian’s editing skills!
I had a great time recording this, I can’t imagine how much effort went into editing my almost endless manic rambling down into something useful, but kudos to the guys at Sci Fi Pulse …

The good, good people of Waterstones will be letting me loose in their Cribbs Causeway store on April 24th at 1pm.
This is the first time I have signed in a “mainstream” book store as opposed to a specialist comic store or a convention; I’m really looking forward to introducing some non-comics fans to The Dark as well as meeting up with any comics fans who come by.
There are some details of the signing up on the Waterstone’s website and, of course, there is a Facebook event if you want to …

Many thanks to Dave at Waiting for the Trade (They like big books and they cannot lie) for featuring The Dark on the latest episode of the WFTT Podcast.
Dave will put a full review up on the website in due course, but for now I am more than happy to hear someone so exercised by the idea of Memetech and getting so engaged with the story. Hopefully Dave will be equally happy when he’s reached the second half and all of the secrets have been revealed.
Don’t take my word for …

It’s that most vital of things … the home town signing! Chris will be Forbidden Planet, Cardiff, from 5pm to 6pm to sign copies of The Dark. Terror abounds as I face friends and family in my “professional” capacity as the mind behind the book, so any and all support is greatly appreciated!

Racuous, crazy, and great fun … at least until I turned up  … it’s Sidekickcast Episode 33.
Gentlemen … let’s play darts!
I had a fantastic time recording this with Bones and Dan, and I really think that comes through. These guys are always great value. Dan’s done a cracking job of editing some sense into what was several hours of comic book related madness.
If you want to hear a very different take on The Dark to other’s I’ve recorded, and also hear my head almost explode trying to …

I had the immense privilege of being interviewed by the fine fellows Comic Book Outsiders this week about The Dark as well as other matters comic and, after some fine editing of my more rambling and incoherent moments, the interview is now online and ready for your eager ears.
I have just listened to it and can indeed confirm the following …

My voice gets ludicrously high pitched when I get a bit excited.
I have cursed myself to …
