This isn’t a trailer for the TV mini-series based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens that’s still in development. This claims to be the world’s most dangerous sport. I’m not sure if that’s true. It certainly looks dangerous. And fun. Although I’m pretty sure the only reason Paul S showed it to me was because of […]

When I started writing Wizards I spent some time trying to figure out what sort of genre it fit into. I mean, okay, it’s science fiction, borderline fantasy but I needed to know more specifically than that. Because — wizards, okay? But we’re not talking epic fantasy wizards. There’s no great quest or universal do-what […]

This website has thoughtfully invented a rating system for how seriously movies disregard the laws of physics and explains the most common and most egregious errors that movie makers perpetrate. Which is entertaining in and of itself, but the part that’s making me laugh the hardest right now is that for some reason when I […]

<— Previous ~~~~~ Ned watched as Agent Choinski awkwardly followed his own calm lead, taking a gulp of air before pulling the hood of her hazmat closed.

“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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

<— Previous ~~~~~ They were moving again. They’d returned to the Tube. “Cute.” Graham muttered. “They own an illegal print-job for the intrinsic flaw that it’s been Auteured. That it isn’t an auto-correcting text. That bound’s only ever been valuable to them for once having been ‘right.’ That it’s become a part of their own […]
