Oooh

Well after perusing the Black Library Forums at lunch, I have noticed that the magazine SFX is running a pulp short story comp. So count me in.

Already I have plans of bring a character that I once used in a campaign I ran for the miniature war-game Inquisitor, who I like so much I adapted into a novel/film. :)

So aside from my ramblings on my career as a writer I hope to fill you in on what I am doing in general. So here goes

At the moment two things are keep me interested. Firstly I have been reading a book called Fiends on the Eastern Front by David Bishop. Technically this is a omnibus which has three books which makes up the trilogy, which in turn are based on an old 2000AD comic strip, which I now want go to get my hands on.

The basic premise is that during Hitler's attempt to conquer the Soviet Block, three brothers fighting on the front line run into vampires lurking on the battlefield. Now I am enjoying this book for two reasons. Firstly it is fulfilling my lust for good Vampire stories. I am a fan of the undead, for no other reasons than they are just really cool. But also I have read a many a vampire story that has disappointed me in some how. Secondly the author has gone and done his research and made it as historically accurate as you can, when your lead character are investigating into blood sucking fiends, which has reawakened my passion for History and historical fiction.

So go buy for an enjoyable read.

The other thing, it’s now only 9 or so days till Doctor Who returns, bring it on.
