Thought for the Day
"The gift of writing was stolen from a wizard, who cast a curse in revenge. From that day on, every novel might be improved by one more edit."

Short Story Saturday: "An anthology with byte" - GAME OVER reviewed in the Financial Times
I am very pleased to be able to report that
GAME OVER
, my second anthology as editor, has been reviewed by James Lovegrove in the Financial Times."The theme is classic arcade games, which will appeal to anyone with fond memories of spending countless 10p pieces on Space Invaders, Pac-Man and the like. The authors Green has selected, though not household names, are respected in their fields or notable up-and-comers, and their stories delve beneath the clunky graphics to find paranoia, madness, murder and ghosts."

Steampunk Thursday: Top 10 Best Steampunk Games...
Allegedly. I mean, Fable III doesn't even appear on the list!
New Book Day! I am the Doctor!
It seems like I have a new book being published every month at the moment*, and September is no exception.
Today sees the publication of
Doctor Who: Time Lord Quiz Quest
.
Written by the Twelfth Doctor himself, this is the ultimate book of Doctor Who puzzles and quizzes!
Packed with tricky activities and quiz questions, Time Lord Quiz Quest is a book to sort the pudding-brained humans from the actually quite handy ones. Can you solve a pressing problem like a true Time Lord? Do you know your Slitheen from your Silurians? And just how high is your Who IQ? With challenges devised by the Twelfth Doctor, this book is the perfect test for any intrepid Doctor Who fan!
Yes, you read that correctly - 'Written by the Twelfth Doctor himself'. But it's my new book, therefore I must actually be Doctor Who!
You can pick up a copy of Doctor Who: Time Lord Quiz Quest for the would-be Doctor's companion in your life here.
* The books in question have been written or compiled over the last 12 months**, they just happen to be coming out so close together.
** Apart from one, coming in December, which is an omnibus of three books published years ago!
