If you get knocked down by a car, do you care what colour it is?

Strange title for a blog post I know, but I have a question and I'd appreciate some feedback.

My books typically deal with the end of the world in one way or another, but I'm generally more interested in how people deal with whatever's happened to them than with the cause of 'the event' itself. If you were trying to survive through an apocalyptic scenario, let's say (very topically) a pandemic, would it really make any difference to your struggle if the killer disease was man-made, a naturally oc

I screwed up

I made a mistake which was preventing this site's registration process from working. I don't know how long it's been broken, but it's fixed now. If you've tried registering recently and not been able to, please try again. Sorry for any inconvenience. I am a hack.

Thanks to Craig for making me aware. That's another one I owe you, Craig!

The HATER cover story

I was thrilled to hear from Keenan at www.fwis.com who recently posted this commentary about the HATER cover. I'd been meaning for some time to put together a piece about the genesis of the cover so here it is! Thanks again to www.fwis.com.

Friday frustrations…

Working from home is something I wanted to do for a long, long time. Don't get me wrong, most of the time it's great – no commute, a comfortable office, food and drink on tap. I can work in the bedroom, in front of the TV, in the garden, in the bath…

Not wishing to sound ungrateful, but the downside of home working is having to share the office with the rest of the family. We're on day 5 of the 40+ day summer school holiday and if I had any hair I'd be tearing it out right now. I love my kids dea

Revenant Magazine

If you're a fan of zombies, either in print or on screen, chances are you're already aware of the Revenant Magazine website.

New interview

Mihai, owner of the very popular 'Dark Wolf's Fantasy Reviews' blog interviewed me recently. Click here to read the article.

On a similar note, loads more reviews and other odds and ends have also been added to the site. There's a page of Hater-specific reviews here and more press cuttings here. If you look at the sidebar to the right (if you're reading this on www.djmoody.co.uk), you'll also see three RSS feeds you can subscribe to to be automatically updated whenever new reviews, interviews and
