Telefantasy Time Jump #1 is Out Now!

The first episode of the new podcast from me and Lizbeth Myles, Telefantasy Time Jump, is out now. In this series, every month we’ll be covering a show from the history of UK Science Fiction and Fantasy TV, as we make our way through that history, starting with 1953 and The Quatermass Experiment. We also cover all the many UK SF TV shows from before 1953, and talk about what else was being made in the genre in the UK in that year.

Episodes will be released on the 14th of every month, and you can find them wherever you get your podcasts.

If you become a Patron at £3/$3 or above, you also get an extra monthly episode on the 28th of every month, covering what the rest of the world was doing in SFF TV in that same year. For 1953, we’ll be covering the young James Doohan in the Canadian show Space Command. You also get access to seven years of bonus episodes from the Hammer House of Podcast archive.

We hope you’ll join us on our new journey. You can find all the details, and listen to the episodes, here.

Pocket Gamer Connects London

I’m going to be on a panel at a games event this month! Pocket Gamer Connects London runs on 20th-21st January. I’ll be part of the panel ‘The Art Of Writing For Games – Lessons From Other Narrative Formats’, which will be at 4.30pm on 21st January in Track Room 3, in the Beyond Games track.

Of Shadows, Stars and Sabers

I have a new short story in a new original anthology, Of Shadows, Stars and Sabers, edited by Jendia Gammon and Gareth L. Powell, and I’m alongside a stellar group of authors, including Adrian Tchaikovsky, David Quantick, Stark Holborn and Lizbeth Myles! The book is out on February 11th, and is available for pre-order from all these different vendors!

There’s also an in-store event featuring many of the authors at San Diego’s Mysterious Galaxy bookstore on February 22nd at 2pm!

XTNCT is Out Again!

The current issue (#190) of the Hachette partwork 2000AD: The Ultimate Collection includes the complete XTNCT by myself and artist D’Israeli.

“ON A FAR-FUTURE EARTH, ONLY A FEW HUNDRED HUMANS SURVIVE AND WAGE WAR against themselves using genetically engineered plants and animals. A Crack team of GM dinosaurs have sworn revenge on mankind and are seeking to make them extinct…”

It’s great to see one of my favourite strips back in print.

For Your Awards Consideration

The project I’ve had out in 2024 that I’d like to put forward for any award nominations you might be considering this year is The Complete(d) Saucer Country by myself and artist Ryan Kelly, published by Image. (It’s weird not to have put out anything that would qualify for the Scribe Awards, but having had a Hugo Awards Best Graphic Story or Comic run last year I might have a shot there.) Thanks very much for considering it.

My Ko-fi and eBay Stores Re-Stocked!

I’ve re-stocked my Ko-fi store, where you can buy my books and comics, signed and personalised, for shipping worldwide.

Similarly, I’ve now re-stocked my ebay store, full of Bronze Age Marvel comics at bargain prices.
