Christmas Cheer (27/12/11)
In the spirit of the season, have a present – an excerpty thingy.
Being a seson of not doing much real work, this is one of those times of year when I think about what comes next. So on the cards at the moment, we have:
- Heroic fantasy in which a soldier and a scholar chase a demon across the ruins of a once-great empire.
- Time-travelling teenagers
- Minoan steampunk
- A thirties-noir style fantasy in which wizards are madmen locked up in cages and the dead rise from old battlefields.
- A vaguely sensible attempt at some Martian SF
- Something I can’t even begin to describe but involves a magical parakeet from Belgium who speaks deathless wisdom and can defy time.
I’d say let me know here who you fancy, but it’s the parrot, isn’t it…

Apparently there’s a neck to neck race between the feral parakeet population of Southwest England and that of Brussels. But one magical specimen can make the difference muahahaaa!

I’m so flattered that you’re thinking of writing a book about me, Steve.
