What's New

¦ dialling in from the Watershed Cafe, Bristol ¦

Got my new laptop. A nice shiny Dell. Cheap and cheerful but I like it.

It was interesting being without a computer for a week, it didn't really miss it, but then I had things I was able to work on with pen/paper... all my Dog Eat Dog notes, and editing Yellow Dawn...the hardcopy of the first proof.

Dog Eat Dog now has the major plot points mapped out; the characters have some basic existence and I know how everything hangs together. Thanks to Simon P, Dom M, and Tony J for having the patience to listen to me talk through the plot.

Yellow Dawn - I'm so glad I delayed the launch. Gives me unlimited time to edit the text and make things right.

God Seed:  back in July 22nd, I was riding the coach to Bristol airport and I got a call from Floyd in New York, his words were "You don't know how much in awe I am of your talents, David; your book God Seed totally overwhelmed me. I knew you were good but I never dreamed you would be this good."

I was totally stoked. What a fantastic compliment. Floyd has promised to do everything he can to promote God Seed and my writing in the States.

And he's been true to his word. He's got a copy of God Seed into the hands of William Gibson; whether WG will read it or not, or even like it, I have no idea, but I truly appreciate the effort made by Floyd, and the pretty girl he talked into getting the book into WG's hands.

Meanwhile, The Crack magazine, in Newcastle, have included a peice on God Seed in the August edition.

The past few days have been busy busy with job hunting. No interviews appearing yet. I hope something comes up soon. I need money.
