Something Tattooed This Way Comes

This week I received my contributor's copies of Necrotic Tissue's Best of Anthology which contains my story The Scratch of an Old Record. Scratch was chosen as the best story in the July 2009 issue by the editor. This is the first ever Best of anthology one of my stories has appeared in.

Other authors include the freakin' awesome Natalie Sin (in fact, she has two stories in the Best of because she's quote 'freakin' awesome') and (possibly no less awesome) Nate Lambert, Doug Murano, David Tallerman, Daniel I Russell, Greg Hall, Jaelithe Ingold, Robert C Eccles, Zombie Zak and many, many more.

Look out for a competition appearing here shortly where you could win a copy of the above and perhaps* a very rare ARC of Theatre of Curious Acts which is due out just before Christmas and I will of course be weaving the competition around the release of Barbed Wire Hearts which is due out in less than 2 weeks.  Freak, freak, freak, freak, freak.

In other news, it was Bonfire Night last night and overnight someone stole into the garden, planted a firework in the grass and stole the yard brush. Weird, dude. Very, very weird.

*I say perhaps but I really mean definitely but warn the ARC may come with my hands attached because I'm finding it very hard to let go of.

Very cool! That ocover is really nice too. Can't wait for all the new releases, Cate. You're on a (lobster) roll.

Nice one - can't believe it's a first Best Of. Overdue, I say.

Oops, that's meant to say Ray Cluley in there somewhere, not the blog address.

What the hell is up why my RSS feed? Why am I just now seeing this? WHY DO I NOT OWN THIS?!

(I know you can't answer these questions. I'm just saying, this is unacceptable!)

Tell me about it. I'm having a daily fight with the new Google Reader.
