UK Games Day 2008
This weekend sees the Birmingham NEC host Games Workshop's biggest event of the year (in the UK, at least). It's called Games Day and it's a chance for fans of the Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 worlds to get together, play games, meet authors, compete for the prestigious Golden Demon awards and much, much more.
Last year, with Rebel Winter having launched only a few months before the event, I had the pleasure of doing a book signing, meeting the Black Library team, and getting to know a good number of my fellow BL authors. It was a great experience and one that I hope will be repeated in the near future.
Unfortunately, due to my schedule, I won't be able to attend Games Day this year. But I can whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone with an interest in fantasy and science-fiction. It's a hell of an event.
Fans of Warhammer 40,000 fiction can look forward to some new releases available on the day, such as Titanicus by Dan Abnett and Cain's Last Stand by Sandy Mitchell (aka Alex Stewart). I'm looking forward to reading both these books myself.
To all those who'll be attending, have an awesome day, and maybe I'll see you there next year.

And you were very welcome, Steve! :-)
Yup, definitely a lot to get excited about this year - plus we have a slightly different format with a 'signing area' open for most of the day!
If you're coming, see you there!
Hey Steve,
After checking out Rebel Winter I managed to get a hold of some of your early stuff - "Starfish" and "Stray Dog" both were awesome, and in particular "Starfish"(after a visit to Japan, I can confirm that this may one day not be seen as fiction!!!!) have you got any other non BL stuff on the go.
Keep up the good work and Ill keep reading it.

Hey Snoogins,
Glad you liked my early short stories. They're extremely hard to get hold of these days, but I'm working on another avenue by which readers can get access to them. More on that later.
As for more non-BL stuff, I've always got ideas percolating away. Warhammer 40,000 fiction is keeping me busy for now, though. Not sure when I'll get a chance to return to my tales of Japanese monsters and the like, but keep it tuned to this blog to find out. ;)
