I just received the final recording of the audio version of my story 1884, published in Cthulhu Lives! from Ghostwoods Books, and my but is it a cracker. And voiced by Alisadir Stewart too, he who owns and voices many of the Escape Artists pod casts.
I couldn't have asked for a better person to voice a bleak horror story.The full collection will be released on Audible soon, and you better believe I'll be bringing it up here.
So here was, minding my own business, just aimlessly surfing the inter... OK, I've been googling pretty much none stop since the Cthulhu Lives! ARCs went out, so sue me.Anyway, I found this wonderful review of the collection here on the aptly named Library Thing from a lovely lady called Diana. From now on every person I meet with that name shall receive a hug. Maybe I'll get the right one eventually.Thank you for your kind words, Diana. In lieu of said hug I offer you a digital high five (thi offer includes, but is not limited to, everyone reading)
*Forces open the blog door against rusty hinges and blows dust from keyboard*Been a bit quiet here, eh? I do apologise. I've been rather busy, you see. Mostly with stuff I'm afraid I can't share just yet, but soon, hopefully. One thing I can share however is that Cthulhu Lives!, the anthology featuring yours truly from Ghostwoods Books, is now up for preorder on Amazon, and includes a blurb from Warren Ellis.Warren Ellis.Warren Ellis has read my work.Warren Ellis has read my work and didn't want to vomit. I don't care where you're from, in my book that's a f***ing win!And to top that off Amazon emailed me recommending the books I'm published in. I'm pretty certain Hemingway said something about this making a writer all official like.
I'll leave you today with the song of the sphere.... cause it's awesome.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MmWeZHsQzs
I just received an emailed from Salome Jones, the ever so helpful editor at Ghostwoods Books, which includes the cover for the Cthulhu Lives! anthology which shall include a story from yours truly.Behold!
Not too shabby if I do say so myself, and I do.
An initial release date was pencilled in for mid February, but that's been pushed back a little, but you better believe I'll be pushing the book here when it does hit.

Just a short post here. I know I've been quiet on the blogging front, but I'm sure you managed without me. I've been writing y'see. It's what us writers do. Otherwise we're just weirdos who sit in front of computer screens. And wouldn't you know it, one of those stories sold!The lovely and kind hearted people at Ghostwood Books decided my story 1884 was good enough to include in their upcoming anthology Cthulhu Lives and should see the light of day in a few months. You better believe I'll be pimping it here when it hits.We out,Michael
