Colin

A number of active and emerging editors have started to cross-post in an interesting collaborative project called Blog Tours. One of their themes for October is -unsurprisingly- Hallowe'en. :)

So for the next few days, I'll be handing the reins to them, one after the other.

We've got a short Hallowe'en piece from Zanna Dobbs, editor Brandon H Bell talking about his new project The Aether Age, Jaym Gates on vampires, and more to come as well.

Meanwhile, my anthology Dark Spires is nearing readiness, just a fraction too late for Hallowe'en...but hey, let's stretch the point, shall we?

Dark Spires is subtitled Speculative Fiction From Hardy Country and contains short stories from Liz Williams, author of the Inspector Chen novels, award winning author Sarah Singleton, Jo Hall, author of the Hierath saga, Gareth L Powell, Eugene Byrne and many more.

We've got multi-dimensional predators that only one man can see, a dragon made of corpses, sea wolves invading a seaside town, mysterious appartions plaguing a town near Glastonbury, and bride locked in a magical power battle with her husband's mother near Avalon.

It's available as a paperback to order from the publishers's website, or you can buy as an e-book from Saturday November 6th. I'll be running extracts all next week on my website, so feel free to stop by and rifle through the pages!

We look forward to seeing you soon...
