Apologies for the lack of communication – two months since an update; one or two things cropped up, not to mention a lack of enthusiasm crept in, which I've kicked into touch for the foreseeable future (insofar I can see the future…)
Anyway, I never made NewCon – but I will be making next month's BFS Christmas Open Night: if I only get to London once a year, then I always make the effort for this. :)
In other news, a review has surfaced for Paul Kane's "rather silly" Dalton Quayle Rides Out. Still waiting for more reviews of We Fade to Grey – hopefully, there should be one in next month's Black Static.
Also, Triquorum III is now in the typesetting phase – should be going to print very soon, and then from next year, it will become a chapbook publisher of three chapbooks every three months. If I can keep up that schedule, then I'll eat me hat – but I'll try (and if I fail, then mine's a fedora with a spot of English mustard…)
As for the brief mention of future, 2010 will see the World Horror Convention come to this side of the Pond and in particular the South Coast: Brighton. I've never been, but I will be, and to celebrate the forthcoming Simon Maginn/Gary Fry double-novella collection it will debut there. Some of you may remember Simon from the "glory days" of UK horror during the early-90s and whereas Gary should be no stranger… no price yet, but I'm thinking limited hardcover and paperback edition.
As for this post's title, I've become quite a fan of Duffy – her debut album ("Rockferry") has a very Burt Bacharach/Dusty Springfield vibe going through it, with the title referring to the last track on the album which is just stunning. Just to re-affirm my 1970s prog-rock roots, I also picked up David Gilomour's Live in Gdansk live CD/DCD combo. What puzzles me with this, along with DG's previous album, the cover denotes that he is the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd… surely, we know that, or are the individual members of Floyd that reclusive?
Anyway, that's it for now… TTFN.

I saw the cover of T3 on the T website. Very cool and evocative. I guess I should get my order in.

Ooh, yes, very snazzy.

Very nice! Am looking forward to ordering a copy.
*sends you some nice, fresh Guinness to go with that hat*
Good luck.
