Sergeant Cork

After losing stock and technical assets in the Sony warehouse fire during the Enfield riots, it’s good to see Network DVD up and running again. And also happy to see the release of a second season of the Victorian CID detective drama Sergeant Cork, currently offered as a ‘web exclusive’ title. If you’re interested, don’t…

Revisiting Robinson

In a message via the contact page, Nancy wrote: My family and I have really enjoyed watching the Crusoe series but wish we knew how the story would have ended. Do you have any ideas how you would have reunited Robinson and Susannah? Well I do, and I did, although in series TV drama it’s…

A Hero’s Update

Here‘s a page of reviews for A Hero’s Journey, mine included. Can you type with gritted teeth? The show played to full houses and even made money. My first piece of staged writing, longer ago than I’m willing to admit, was a similar venture that attracted exactly one review. And it was a stinker.

A Hero’s Journey

A lightning strike on Brooligan Village has knocked out phones and broadband for the past ten days, which has put a crimp on my blogging and tweeting while forcing me to get some actual work done. But here’s where I’ll be later this week. I have tickets for A Hero’s Journey, an hour-long comedy playing…

Stan Barstow

I’m sad to hear that novelist Stan Barstow has died at the age of 83. His Guardian obituary is here. I served as Northern Chair of the Writers’ Guild for a couple of years more than a decade ago, and Stan and his parter Diana Griffiths were two of the most reliable regulars at our…

It begins Action is needed now to prevent nightmarish “Planet Of…

Saturday Event

On Saturday I’m giving a talk-with-clips about my TV career at the Lass O’Gowrie on Charles Street in Manchester, and as the day gets closer I’m growing convinced that no one is going to turn up. If you’ve an events diary or similar feature and might be interested in giving it a mention, feel free…

Chris Moore

In my post of the influence of Philip K Dick I talked about Chris Moore, cover artist for many of the PKD titles in the SF Masterworks series; just to add you can now buy signed prints from his website.

‘Sizzling Summer Reads’ Promotion

It’s with some irony that I’m writing this as the rain hammers hard on the skylight above my head… but the Top Suspense Group, of which I’m a member, is running a day-to-day Summer Reads promotion and yesterday was my day in the sun. Titles featured so far include Lee Goldberg’s Watch me Die, Vicki…

The Bedlam Detective

New book coming. If you were waiting, sorry to have made you wait so long. Issues mostly beyond my control. (This isn’t it, by the way. This is the Italian paperback of The Kingdom of Bones, which just came in.)The Bedlam Detective picks up Sebastian Becker’s story in 1912, one year after the conclusion of…
