Santa Clawed and Midnight Hungers

Here's the cover for Big Finish's latest release from the Iris Wildthyme audio adventures: The Claws of Santa, written by Cavan Scott and Mark Wright, and starring Katy Manning and David Benson. I haven't heard it yet, but I can't wait. It's been a fabulous year for Ms Wildthyme and her Panda chum, what with the pink boxed set of four adventures out in the early part of the year and selling like crazy. And then two hardbacked anthologies of short fiction from Obverse Press - 'The Panda Book of Horror' is, I'm informed, just about to be unleashed upon the world. Just in time for Christmas... Think M.R James meets Barbarella's gin-sodden aunty.

Just dropping by, as well, to say that there's a new interview with me on the website of the sublime Marta Acosta: www.vampirewire.blogspot.com. Hers is a fab blog - not least because she praises my prose, but she's told me about so many books series I want to read, and she keeps putting up pictures of those fellas from Supernatural.

Did I rell you I read an anthology of erotic gay vampire novellas from Kensington Press? Whoah nelly. Very rude and wonderfully dark and silly. I love Kensington books and their anthologies. Last year it was that fantastically witty and sharp, 'All I want for Christmas' collection.I wish they published over here. Where's the gay romance and supenatural novels in this country, eh? Answers on a Christmas card, please.
