Broken Birdcage Competition.

My novella In the Broken Birdcage of Kathleen Fair is now available to buy as an eBook from Amazon (UK, US, Canada, and France). Here be a blurb...

'Escaping the birdcage in which she's imprisoned is only the beginning of Kathleen's journey; on the other side of the mirror she'll have to evade the Devil, and the attentions of the Perfume Thief...'

To celebrate it's release I'm running a competition where you can win a signed hardback of my novella Theatre of Curious Acts, a paperback anthology Attic Toys, a notebook (with a birdcage on, of course) and a set of magnets. To enter please purchase the eBook on Amazon (it's only available for Kindle), and Tweet or Facebook status that you've purchased it via Amazon. Amazon normally have a widget for that kind of thing. If you don't play with Twitter or Facebook (or are worried I won't notice your entry) then send an email to catephoenix@gmail.com and let me know you've bought it. Closing date is my birthday - June 20th. Good luck.

The Bureau of Spectral

Hot on the heels of my novella acceptance from Alchemy Press, I am (again) delighted to announce that Simon Marshall Jones has accepted my novella 'The Bureau of Them' for Spectral Press. It should appear in early 2015.

Spectral published my chapbook Nowhere Hall in 2011 and I'm delighted to be working with them again.

Out of a Broken Birdcage

I am delighted to announce that Peter Coleborn has accepted my novella 'In the Broken Birdcage of Kathleen Fair' for the Alchemy Press Novella line. It will appear as an eBook later this year and then in print as part of a collection of novellas sometime next year.

This makes me smile and possibly happy dance.  Who am I kidding? I so shook my ass when I found out. I should add, I was on a train. No one saw although I may be on CCTV.
