Bryn Colvin's Blog - Posts Tagged "age"

I've been working with artist Tom Brown for some years now, and am delighted to say that Copper Age is happening. There's a lvoely article about us at http://www.zombiehamster.com

Visit http://www.hopelessvendetta.wordpress... to read the weekly news publications for the people (and others) of Hopeless, Maine.

Also have a look at www.itisacircle.com/blog for news.

There's a video up on youtube(and posted here) and free short fiction in the pipeline, as well as posters, and a much more involved video project... I'll psot as things develop.

You can see more of Tom's art at http://www.copperage.deviantart.com

There's another round of fictional news from Hopeless Maine up at www.hopelessvendetta.wordpress.com - read about the blood storm! Also, make sure you read the comments too, people have been joining in and there are little story lines happening through that as well.

If you visit www.short-fiction.co.uk and either look for Annamarie - Chapter One on the opening page, or search for Bryn_Colvin and you can pick up a free Copper Age read. I'm writting backstory at the moment, for characters who appear in other things. It's dark fantasy, with dashes of odd humour. There's also some smut of mine on there, including a serialisation of my reworking of Gawain and the Green Knight.

Copper Age stories and erotic serialisations are being added every week, so do keep dropping in.

One of the joys of working with a brilliant artist like Tom Brown is being able to throw random things his way and watch what he does with them. The picture of the fearsome windowthings on this week's edition of the Hopeless Vendetta - www.hopelessvendetta.wordpress.com is a fine case in point.

I've interviewed Tom at www.myspace.com/brynneth_n_colvin and its now possible to get some of his artwork on t-shirts and whatnot from www.zazzle.com/copperage

It's all go at the moment.

The current avatar is the Copper Age logo, created by Tom Brown (who is on goodreads) and if you like it, please do use it yourself. It would be fun to cover the internet with tentacles.

When I got into writing, I intended to be a novelist. I was going to write big serious books and change the world. Much to my surprise, I ended up writing erotic short stories most of the time, and that idea of doing something immportant slipped away. Arguably, that's part of the growing up process, becoming more realistic, and sensible. Then I met Tom, and he reminded me of how to dream, and believe, and why I wanted to be creating stories in the first place.

Today, the results of our collaberating are finally unleashed on the world. www.itisacircle.com - art, words, strangness. I'm very proud of it, and there's a lot more to come. Please do drop by and have a look. If you like what you see, then you might want to sign up for the newsletter - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/copperage


Welcome to the Copper Age!

I can't claim to understand the cycles in my work. I've written a lot of real world, contemporary type stuff of late, light on the paranormal elements, (Naked Canvas, assorted f/f things) but in the late summer and early autumn, I produced a fantasy novella. I've gone back to my forest setting - Estraguil (assorted older tales at www.whiskeycreekpress.com). Servant of the Forest is a tale of love, war and sacrifice. The cover, and title were organised for me by the fabulous marshpixie, Sarah Morton, who also edited. She's a star.

Alongside this I've written a whole heap of Copper Age fiction, which is destined for self publishing at amazon and on kindle, just as soon as Tom has the art done for me.
