Out of Thin Air and Madness
I feel ridiculously virtuous because I’ve been working on book two of Path (TRTH) the last few days. Probably because while I was busy trying to get the framework of book three functioning and creating Wizards out of thin air and madness the second book was sitting there mocking me. Well not all of it. […]
Bibliotek Special! Chapter Five.Two
September 15, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
“I didn’t mean to…” Started Robert. But didn’t seem to know how to finish. Emlen narrowed his eyes. “They’d send me to the Library, Robert, and you know what that means. For both of us.” Robert looked back at him desperately. As if with no way out. Emlen continued. “You wanted into this, and I […]
Lack of Sleep Leads to the Dark Side
September 15, 2011

Yesterday I kicked the freezer for the last time. Now only peas and ice are left in its depths. I’m feeling a bit conflicted about it. I mean, logically, it’s very old and I’m afraid one day it will burn the house down. The handle fell off several years ago and the drawers have been […]

Bibliotek Special! Chapter Five.One
September 14, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
With all the talk of Amazon becoming a ‘Netflix of books’ it seems the perfect chance to jump ahead a little with Bibliotek (not too much! Just by one chapter / nanograph.) This section gets right into the meat of a post-book world, ebooks for free and about the ‘social.’ I am quite ambiguous about this […]
Night of the Living Footnotes? When Footnotes Attack? Footnotes in Space?
September 14, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Sometimes my footnotes get out of hand. Therefore, two things related to what I said yesterday: Firstly, a movie that I love for no sensible reason at all. I currently have this kind of bizarre affection for X-Men: First Class. When I first saw it, I enjoyed it. Then I noticed all the things that […]
God Among Men, or the Village Idiot?
September 13, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Do you ever do that thing where five seconds after you’ve seen something or read something you love it to bits, and then your brain wakes up and tells you all the things that were wrong with it?* I do it all the time. I mean I do have some standards, even in that moment […]

Monday Blurbs: Emperor Sapiens
September 12, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
I’m going to be blurbing a few of my other (far-off!) projects over the next month. It’s a bit of fun, a bit of a break to think of non-Bibliotek, non-PhD stuff. For a little bit of background on this one, it was just an idea floating round my head until Kandace started talking about […]
Trying to Commit Art
September 12, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Footnote There was a period of time where every author I considered analysing as part of my doctorate promptly dropped dead. From an academic point of view that’s sort of useful because all of a sudden you’re dealing with a closed body of work, but from a, you know, human point of view it was […]
Friday Fiction: The Miracle: Chapter One.Two
September 10, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
Mary. I am an old man who remembers. I can see it clearly. From horizon to horizon there is the gold of swaying stalks; the land is flat like the sky, their edges never to meet and stretching away. The smell of grit and earth rubs into my skin and clothing. Then there is the […]

Please Excuse My Screaming
September 9, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
So this. Yesterday my head was in the dark place so I was working on book three of Path (codename: RON) which is the dark place, pretty much. You may remember I was having trouble with the structure of the beginning, but you will (naturally) be happy to know I managed to sort it out […]
