http://www.garymcmahon.com/ More news to follow, once the contracts are signed, but needless to say I'm over the moon with this. Morrigan Books is a very professional and ambitious little imprint, and I'm glad to be on board with them. | ||

You get so many of these brilliant things happening that I lose track of how brilliant the next one is. I saw you headlined over Ursula K le Guin the other day. Is this even better?  Whatever. Sounds good to me. | ||

You don't hang around do you? Or rather your publishers don't, you lucky thing. This looks seriously fabulous my friend, and very you, if I may be so bold. | ||

Likey! I had a nightmare that we had more floods this year - your bloody book Zed.. There was something else - was very sad after seeing the programme Half Man - half...something - last night. Was it called that - unfortunate people who had so many problems to face. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.98.167 |
Did anyone else see it? I think that one man was considering carrying on with the show rather than having treatment. | ||

was very sad after seeing the programme Half Man - half...something I saw the trailer for that, Ally - what happened? Did the expert find out the problem? | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.98.167 |
The poor man with hands like roots of trees worked in a show with bubble man and the others. They did find out the cause of the gigantic root like warts and wanted to treat him but the man,(I think) wanted to leave it be an earn money in the show. Didn't catch it all. | ||

Oh, nice cover too, Zed. (mmm, that sounded gay. Better come up with a more punch-on-the-shoulder remark.) Ok, that's the author photo done, when you going to show us the cover? (phew. my secret is safe. Now to get back to prancing around) | ||
