Short Story Saturday: GAME OVER - Table of Contents
Regular readers of this blog may have noticed this clock counting down since the end of March, hidden some way down on the right-hand sidebar...
I had mentioned the idea of an anthology of horror stories inspired by classic arcade games to Emma Barnes, publisher at Snowbooks, before. But when I heard about the Adam Sandler vehicle PIXELS (released this coming Wednesday, here in the UK) we hatched a plan to publish our book the same time the movie came out, which meant putting together a brand new book, from scratch, in less than 145 days*.
And I am delighted to say that in four days' time GAME OVER will be ready to ship from the distributors and will be available via Amazon as well as in traditional high street bookshops.
Just to get you even more excited by this prospect, here is the table of contents...
* SHARKPUNK took almost two years!

Gamebook Friday: JG at Nine Worlds Geekfest 2015
I shall be at Nine Worlds Geekfest this weekend (7-9 August 2015), at the Radisson Blu Edwardian, Heathrow.The reason for posting this news under the 'Gamebook Friday' banner is because I am there in my capacity as an author of gamebooks and games designer.
On Friday night I shall be taking part in Knightmare Live ,at 8.00pm in Commonwealth...
Following which I shall be attending the Rebellion Publishing Party (Books, Booze & Kazoos) in Royal B from 10.15pm (should I survive the dungeon, that is).
On Sunday, after a signing session in Commonwealth East (11.00-11.30am), I shall be moving next door to Commonwealth West to take part in the debate TV vs Books vs Comics vs Games: FIGHT! (11.45am-1.00pm) during which I shall be championing the cause of Games (unless things change again before the weekend is over).
On top of all that, a number of GAME OVER contributors are appearing at Nine Worlds this weekend and are planning a meet-up on Saturday evening. So do come and find us (in a bar probably) and chat to us about what's going to be in the book.
