Progress...

¦ dialling in from workstation ¦

12:26 GMT, Wednesday 16th Jan, 2008. Leaning back in a sumptuous comfortable chair, flat screen monitor, headphones plugged in and music switching through random: currently blasting Sisters of Mercy.

I nearly didn't make it in today - the heavy rain of the last few days has flooded the tiny country road I use to get between Bristol and Bath... Swampy nearly became a boat this morning, thankfully the old girl was able to push through the deep waters without stalling.

It's been over a week since I pushed Yellow Dawn through a soft launch and a few have sold already, despite no real promotion as yet. So I'm very pleased. Still waiting to get a proof copy from the publisher... looking forward to getting my mits on the finished product.

GOD SEED and IRON MAN PROJECT have been selling well, although DANTES FOOL has recently picked up more interest...perhaps Demonic entities and bad-ass cops are the flavour of 2008?

Random music switched to Eurythmics - I've got an Angel.

Following a couple of fun realspace escapades with my New York publicist I've picked up an idea he touted: a project he's working on called "The Social Club". He's been very much taken by the "Power of Eight" concept I brought into IRON MAN PROJECT and subsequently the world of YELLOW DAWN; I joked and said I could become the next L.Ron Hubbard with my own fictional cult becoming a real entity... he mentioned the Social Club and wondered if I could incorporate it within the Power of Eight construct. The Social Club will now espouse Power of Eight concepts. Fiction precedes reality.

I finally shrugged free of the mucus-monster man-flu, releasing my brain to surge back into top gear...currently writing out a major campaign for Yellow Dawn "Shadows of the Quantinex". Months of work still ahead of me.

Random music switched to Dead Can Dance - the Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove.

Over & out
