Dear God with a matching handbag!

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...

Hey there Sammi, how are things?

This Samantha Leng, with her Adam Experiments, Edward Morgan dinners and vibrating washing machines, is quite the hoot. Yeah, she needs help but I'm sure in a good way.

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?

Um, Jezz, this is kinda awkward...

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.

Fabulous socks, sweetie!

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.

Hi Sammi,

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

Hi Sammi,

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

You think you're wonky because they switched around the site? That ain't about a thang, Ms. Girlfriend!!!

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.

I have unfortunately seen my own death. I am eaten by badgers.

Other than that, I am absolutely indestructable. And a heckuva great dancer.

Hiya Sammi...I am still trying to get the hang of this Thing.

Profile Information

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.

Storytellers Unplugged

The Ritual of Fine-Tuning My Writing

Most writers I know have rituals. These run the gamut from adjusting their desks a certain way to writing by candlelight to setting a glass of perfectly innocent booze on fire before each writing project as a sacrifice to the Writing Ancestors. They may sound silly, or wasteful (perfectly good booze, after all) or unintuitive, [...]

Thanksgiving

Friends and relatives around he world sing the same song: “We don’t have Thanksgiving here.” Here is New Zealand, South Africa, England, Israel…and on and on. This year, because we are down to three of us—my guardian angel/chef and one friend who lives alone—I stopped to think about what that means.

“We don’t have [...]

In love as it is in war

I promised some friends (and students) that I would talk about how one goes about writing a successful sex scene.  There are a lot of theories about this–one school, for example,  believes that a successful sex scene should titillate. (Do they believe a successful dinner scene should make you hungry? I write my dinner scenes [...]

“genre vs literary” in the days of the Technorenaissance

1

I was hanging out in a writer’s forum and came across the age-old question of how do you define genre and literary? which always turns into genre vs literary: genre types bash the literati for lacking plot (which is absurd), while the literati bash the genre-ati for lacking everything else (equally absurd).

One person [...]

FORENSICS 123: CRIME SCENE MISINTERPRETATIONS

There are many things that, when misinterpreted, can result in inaccurate crime scene investigation results. The following describe some potential misinterpretations.

Body positions:

Bodies burned in a fire often assume a pose commonly referred to as a “pugilist position.” Their hands are clenched and raised like those of a prize fighter. This could be [...]
