- About Me:
- I edit a fiction and poetry magazine, Neonbeam, here. You can download the latest issue at the website.
I'm fond of hats. My hair is ruined through excessive dying. I'm mould-o-phobic, and possibly seaweed-o-phobic. And if I was forced to write a list of every food I don't like, I would probably die of old age before completing it.
I have a MySpace page here.

Gorilla, My Love
[John is suffering computer woes at the moment. I told him I'd find something appropriate to fill his slot, and found this archived post of his from September of 2006. Enjoy!]
A long time ago, there was this gorilla I knew. I was out of work, and the gorilla was similarly unemployed. At [...]
A novel a month?
Well, it’s November again. Halloween is done Thanksgiving is on the way (Pause here, folks, and contemplate what you have to be thankful for. The odds are there’s a good deal going right, even if there’s some negatives out there.) and a plethora of various religious celebrations are eight around the corner. Some of my [...]
The Compounds (and compound-complexes) of Style
Perhaps you believe in the soul. Perhaps you don’t, and only view a living being as a series of biological functions acting in concert. Under either philosophy, you will view a dead body as different from a living person. All of the physical components are there, but the core of the individual is gone.
At this [...]
What I Learned From Blogging About the Kindle
Last month, when I finally decided to “come out” about owning a Kindle, I learned two things. One, after reading some of the comments about my blog entry, I realized that I have always written about “safe” topics, ones that are least likely to stir up controversy, and heaven forbid, make [...]
Let’s Just Pretend The Last 8 Months Never Happened
Looks like it was a sabbatical after all.
Last March, after close to a three-year tenure, I hung up my Storytellers U hat — the one with the Viking horns and a beer funnel — without knowing whether this would be permanent or temporary. Couldn’t help but notice, in the interim, that lords-of-the-manor [...]

I feel I have not aggrivated you in weeks! It's killing me!
So, all day today picture my finger barely an inch from your face.
I'm not touching you...I'm not touching you...
She not only makes fans wonder what else she'll pull from her many hats but she personally makes me wish I was a young UK woman.
Did I type that last part aloud?
Sammi doesn't wear socks.
Those are her actual legs. Tattooed that way in remembrance of her time with an African tribe of Rainbow People. Finding the hat to match was her real challenge.
My legs are unfortunately short... two and a half inches... so socks like that make me look like a hairy rainbow-striped banana. Which is just fine until someone decides to be a smartie pants and tries to peel me.
Awkward!
Just kidding. My legs are actually 4 and a half inches.
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like the new cover. Yes, Graeme was very clever with his use of colours to produce the effect we were looking for.
Best regards

Thanks for your message. 'A Study in Red' is reported as selling well by my publisher, and it was also made a Recommended Read by CK2S Kwips & Kritiques in February. Thanks for your good wishes. It's doing great and far exceeding my own expectations so far. People seem to love it and it's becoming a sort of mini cult novel by the sounds of teh feeedback I'm getting.
Best regards
Brian
Last time I logged on here, my computer started spitting out sparks, smoke is rolling out the back of my monitor and Graveside Tales ate my damn cat!
At least I think it was a cat. Hold on...sweetheart, did we ever own a cat? A dog? Well, can you do a headcount on the kids for me? (My wife is checking...)
Whatever, the damn site ate something and scared the hell out of me.
Other than that, I am absolutely indestructable. And a heckuva great dancer.
