The First Shot
Hi there!
I'm Steve Parker, and I'll start by saying "Welcome to my site and my blog." I suppose previous visitors to red-stevie.com might be wondering what took me so long. I mean, the site has been live for a little over a year. Why wait till now to include a blog?
In a word... Gunheads.
Yup, you heard me right. Gunheads. My second novel. Here's a little pic of the cover:
FOOM! Gotta love that cover painting. Alex Boyd (who also painted the cover for Rebel Winter) really captures the darkness and grittiness that Warhammer 40,000 is so famous for. Awesome work as always, Alex!
The book actually comes out in March, 2009, which might seem quite far away, but the folks at Black Library Publishing have to proof it and typeset it and perform all sorts of other bizarre techno-sorcery that would put the upper ranks of the Adeptus Mechanicus to shame. And if you don't know what the Adeptus Mechanicus is... er... go check wikipedia. :)
Anyway, since blogs have been described as a kind of legitimised rambling, I'll be talking about a variety of things here. Of course, I'll have lots to say about writing in the universe of Warhammer 40k, but I'll be going off on numerous tangents, too. Video games, movies, weight-training, martial arts, life here in Tokyo... I'll be visiting each of these topics and more in the weeks and months to come.
Of course, I hope you'll all post questions and comments, too. That's part of the fun of blogging, after all. In the meantime, I'll bring this post to an end. It's definitely time for a protein shake and a bowl of brown rice!

Looks good, Steve. 'Bout time too. This doesn't mean you have an excuse not to visit my blog, though... ;-)
Congrats on being my first poster, Nick (pretty inevitable actually).
Don't worry. I'll still be a regular visitor to your blog. I'm looking forward to hearing the Radio40k interview, too. Let me know when that's online.
I think it's going up today. Pretty nervous, actually - hope I don't sound like too much of a dingus. We'll have to wait and see...
Btw - how's that Deathwatch story coming along... ;-)
Gyah! Cat. Bag. Out. And I was saving that particular news for a near-future blog-post. ;)
Anyway, looking forward to hearing that Radio40k interview. I'm sure you won't sound like a dingus, but most people hate the sound of their own voice when it's played back to them. I know I do. I'll download the podcast ASAP.
Hey Steve loved Rebel Winter. Just wanted to ask if there are plans to bring back the boys for another outing?
By Terra make it happen
Hi Figgs, and thanks for posting.
I've had quite a few people ask me about a follow-up to Rebel Winter. As I've always said, it was always my intention to go back to Sebastev, Karif and the others at a later date. At the moment, however, there are so many exciting projects on the horizon that I think it will be quite some time before I get back to Danik's World.
To tide you over a bit, check out The Imperial Guard Omnibus: Vol 1 when it's released in December. I've written a new Vostroyan short for it. It's called The Citadel, and you should recognise a few characters in it. :)
