No idea how many guys here might know me, or not, so I figured as Dave’s co-writer on this epic - which happens to be my first Nano, I ought to drop in, introduce myself and say ‘Hi’…

So, the preliminaries - who am I? Which in this case really means ‘What have I done?’ so, the potted resume, four warhammer novels for Black Libary (all vampiric nastiness), 2 Slaine novels for 2000AD/Black Flame, I’ve written for Doctor Who, Torchwood, Primeval and Stargate … so I am one of those nasty tie-in writers. I’ve also done a fair bit of original stuff like The Hollow Earth, Laughing Boy’s Shadow and Angel Road, which have all been fairly well received small press books. Most recently I sold a supernatural thriller, Silver, to Variance for a very nice hardcover and massmarket run next summer, and have other pots bubbling. So that’s me.

Dave’s a good friend and I am really excited about working with him, and seeing what, exactly, mutates out of our minds. The fact that you guys get to read along while we go is actually rather cool. So please, plenty of talk, heckle from the sidelines, all of that.

Cheers,

Steven Savile

Thanks to all the new subscribers. I’m REALLY ready to start writing.  I thought, just as a thank you, I’d make a special offer before we get underway.

First a note - be sure and check out my co-author STEVEN SAVILE if you have time. I’ll be writing the first draft of our collaboration myself during November, but as I write, I’ll hand off the finished work to Steve, who will rewrite, revise, polish, and kick me when I screw up!

Just from now until the beginning of Nanowrimo, I’m taking orders for my new collection, Ennui & Other States of Madness - at a discounted price. The trade paperback edition normally costs $19.95 and the signed, numbered limited edition (only 100 copies) is $50.

More information on the collection is available at: ENNUI: The website

If you buy it now through me between now and the 1st, I’ll make it worth your while. The trade paperback will be $18 with free shipping. That’s a four or five dollar savings. I’ve also added discounts with a foreign shipping price for overseas buyers. The limited will be $40 with free shipping. This is my gift in the hope I can introduce more of you to my writing.

The collection includes a novella (35,000 words) previously unpublished that is an excerpt from myh Nanowrimo novel GIDEON’S CURSE.
