Fjord-pining…

… I ain't dead, just taking a break.
2009 will see no planned publications from Pendragon Press, though I will continue with the proposed series of Triquorum chapbooks. This decision hasn't been easy, and is far from being a reflection on the current state of publishing, but more a reflection on my own level of energy and enthusiasm – my hat goes off to all the other small presses out there run by people with families and more often than not full-time jobs such has myself: how do you do it? I'm spent, and want to try something else, maybe even a bit more writing (a story in a forthcoming ebook from Screaming Dreams has risen the muse from the grave, plus I've neglected Triquorum for too long now with a string of bloody good stories waiting, patiently…)
I shall continue to sell the back-stock as per usual, and attend conventions (EasterCon and FantasyCon are already marker'd into my diary) so I'm not going to disappear – well, unless I find a big enough wardrobe.
The Pendragon schedule shall resume in 2010 – my tenth-anniversary in publishing – with what could be said as a re-launch to coincide with Brighton Shock! not to mention a wealth of bloody good books!
If anyone is down London-way this Friday then come and say "hola" at the British Fantasy Open Night – and I may even allow you to buy me a beer. :)
In other news, the paperback edition of We Fade to Grey has sold out – a reprint is on it's way, due in the New Year – to compensate, and until Christmas, then anyone who orders the hardback edition will also receive a copy of New Writings in the Fantastic (and a "subscription" to the first 3 Triquorum chapbooks). Generous, moi? More-like cuttin' me own throat… and only a couple of weeks left.
Lastly, this message was brought to you with Barry Adamson's Stranger on the Sofa: a damn fine album.
If I do not post before the end of the year, then have a splendid time regardless of socio-religious background – and hopefully see one or two of your on Friday.
Ciao.

Hi Chris
As I mentioned on Shocklines, good luck with the writing and I hope the break does both you and Pendragon the world of good.
Great news about the WFTG paperback! Brilliant!
All the best
Mark
