Martin Citywit
Friday, March 30th, 2012Captures my mood rather well at the moment, actually: artwork by the estimable Gary Northfield based on a short story of mine called 'Martin Citywit' which will be appearing in Pandemonium: Stories of the Smoke, a collection of SF shorts based on Dickens and edited by Anne C. Perry and Jared Shurin. The book is [...]
New Story: ‘The Mary Anna’
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011Not entirely new (it appeared in the Starship Sofa Stories Vol 2 collection a while ago, with a lovely picture); but no-one seems to have noticed it when it came out in that venue, so I'm reposting it for free on my Europrog blog.

We Think Therefore We Are Now Available
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009I note on the ever-interesting blog of Paul McAuley (who wrote the introduction) that this fine collection is now out: edited by Pete Crowther, and containing a wealth of brilliant original fiction.

I undertook the uniquely writerly chore of the [...]
‘Petrolpunk’ in Extraordinary Engines

'The definitive steampunk collection', you know ... Amazon's search-inside facility gives you, as taster, the start of my friend James Lovegrove's excellent yarn 'Steampunch'. SFX reviewed it without finding [...]
A few roundabout-Christmas things to report
Thursday, December 28th, 2006The excellent new British SF press Solaris have issued a press release about my forthcoming new novel, Splinter. It’s not out just yet, and won't be until September 2007, but I'm pretty thoroughly excited by this, I must say. No cover art as yet, but I'll post it up here as soon as I get [...]
