A weekend treat

Hey chaps, I noticed yesterday that the kindle version of Champion of Mars is available for a mere £3.08 on UK Amazon, and $4.77 on US Amazon. Obviously I’d recommend it, as it’s my book, but the price really is low right now, so if you fancy something a little bit different for your Bank Holiday weekend read (okay, holidays in the UK only, but you know), then check it out. Not convinced yet? Here’s a reminder of what the Guardian said about it.

Maybe one more reminder of this tomorrow, then I promise I’ll go back to standing aloof from the grubby business of commerce, like a proper author should. That’s what it says I should do in my artistes’ handbook anyway, but I might be wrong. It’s stained with absinthe, cigarillo burns and something else that looks really icky, and is written in French.

More aliens, but of the fictional type

Hearken and click! Here’s an interview with Alec Gillis, the man behind the aliens and predator monsters.

Fun lovin’ vamps

From Death Ray 10, an interview with Laurell K Hamilton, author of the Merry Gentry and Anita Blake books.

Aliens! Aiiieeeeeee!

That got your attention, no? And well it should. Some of my favourite interviews I’ve conducted have been with people who are not primarily connected with SF (probably because it made a change from chatting to actors). This one from 2007 with Nick Pope, the ex-MoD man who used to investigate UFOs for the UK government, was really fascinating.

Yeah, it’s an archive post, but it’s a good one. Promise.

Archive, archive, archive…

A couple more for you. At this rate, my war with my Death Ray back issues will be over by Christmas.

So, here we have an interview with one of my favourite artists, Paul Bonner, and a review of his art collection book, Out of the Forests…

There can be only one archive piece…

…because I have a lot to do. How fitting that it is this interview from Death Ray 10 with the one and only Adrian Paul, star of the TV version of Highlander.
