This section of my site is supposed to be for news, but as I haven’t got any at the moment, beyond telling you to look out for my work in THE BEST BRITISH MYSTERIES IV, CRIMEWAVE 9 and the forthcoming BLACK STATIC (previously The Third Alternative), I plan to use it to say ‘thank you’to a number of people:
First and foremost, to my wife, Linda, for putting up with me when I’m writing, worrying about writing, worrying about not writing and generally being a bear with a sore head; Kim at ‘Camelot Books and Gifts’ for proof reading duties above and beyond and for keeping my book-collecting obsession well fed; Andy Cox, Peter Crowther and Richard Hanson for encouragement; Simon Avery for taking a chance; Joel Lane for convincing me short stories were the way to go; Julia Crook for making me go to the MAC in the first place; and, last but not least, my Dad, for buying me my first books and introducing me to the wonders of the written word.
Remember: no news is good news.
Ian.
