It's been quite a start to the year on the writing front.

Firstly Black Death Books produced a very sweet omnibus edition of my Watchers trilogy.

On the novel side I sold

- The Midnight Eye Files: The Skin Game, a new Derek Adams novel to Black Death Books
- Island Life, a hardcover reprint of my 1st novel to Ghostwriter Publications,
- Berserker, a Vikings vs Yeti short novel to Ghostwriter Publications
- The Valley, a cowboy in a Lost World short novel to Ghostwriter Publications.
- Ghostwriter Publications will also be publishing an anthology of 20 of my stories, Flower of Scotland, along with audio-book and e-book versions of all the above mentioned titles.

Also on the short story front, I have stories in several forthcoming anthologies

- Cthulhu Unbound 2, from Permuted Press with a Jane Austen meets the Deep Old Ones story
- Creature Feature, from Ghostwriter Publications where I'm alongside Guy N Smith, Simon Kurt Unsworth, Dave Jeffery et al
- Gaslight Grotesque, from Edge Publishing with Sherlock Holmes facing a necromancer in Edinburgh
- Cthulhu 2012, from Mythos Books with a new Midnight Eye File

I've also had 4 chapbooks published with Ghostwriter Publications, and more on the way from there, including a Midnight Eye audio novelette

There's also 3 more short stories coming in the UK newspaper The Weekly News, and one in the South African horror mag, Something Wicked

On the screenplay front,

- Fir3storm Industries in South Africa are in production of my script The 5
- Dark Window Films in London and Ireland are in pre-production of The Amulet
- And I'm in talks with a filmmaker in Florida for him to make The CopyCat Murders[/li]

I'm still trying to sell two novels:-

- Hunters Dock - Ice Zombies take Manhatttan
- The Concordances of the Red Serpent - a thriller based around alchemy and Scottish history

And I'm working on a "Killer Crabs" novel for Ghostwriter Publications

I can only hope the next 6 months prove to be as exciting.
