New Author Blog - Dark Central Station
« on: 03 October, 2010, 02:49:25 PM »
Fellow Snowbooker, Sean Cummings (Shade Fright, Funeral Pallor), has set up a wonderfully innovative blog, where authors Nancy Holzner, Erin Kellison, Thomas Emson and my good self will join him to offer weekly posts on pretty much anything that has to do with dark fantasy, horror and urban fantasy. We might even throw in some zombies, lycanthropes, serial killing vampires and a host of other goodies including giveaways of our books and sample chapters.

I'm the Designated Sunday Blogger. Read my first post, entitled 'Hangovers and Glad Rags' at:

Free stuff - it has to winner!! Good post - I'm obsessive enough that I could make mental in similar circumstances.

Anyway I should point out that Zone Alarm has popped up an alert suggesting your site might be an attack site and I should leave unless I really trust it. These things can happen because of some ads, so I don't know how to address it or even get yourself removed. Might be worth looking into.

if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Cheers, Emp! I'll pass that along to the site admin (who knows more about this stuff than I do)!  :)

You too, Rich!

Are you guys heading to P-Con?

Yeah, we slipped away like thieves in the night! Had to get back to our wee doggie.

Doubt we'll be at P-con, I'm afraid.

You missed a bloody good pizza in Hell (name of the pizza place, not the metaphysical location) on Sunday evening.
Next time..!

Lovely stuff! I still have some FF books knocking about. I love 'em! Some new ones came out recently and some with  re-done covers.

Cheers, mate!

And you're right, they're still going strong:

I don't think Livingstone and Jackson are involved anymore, though. However, as one guy posted on the DCS blog, there's a world of opportunity for gamebooks with e-books and e-readers growing in popularity. The gamebook could become a lot more interactive, perhaps do for e-readers what the Wii did for console gaming.
