Still working hard on my novel ISIS UNBOUND but I'm happy to say that my novelette FOR YOU FAUSTINE will be published by Pendragon Press and will appear at Fantasycon this year. Published by Chris Teague of Pendragon Press. The story is set on Coney Island, New York, and involves the Lammia myth, the mafia and Swinburne's poetry.

It could have had this cover but the artist wanted too much to borrow it.

Anyone got any Coney Island photos that might fit in to pass on to Chris Teague?

Thanks for sending me the link to another great photo, Steve Duffy. I'll send it on to Chris Teague and keep my fingers crossed.

I'm ignoring the hot dog :>)

Thanks Gary - Chris said he has been having a telephone malfunction. Fixed now but can't seem to get through to him today either.

Don't think I'll be able to make FCon this year, Ally - I'm saving like mad for Brighton 2010.

Thanks Huw - when you are writing a novel it is good to have something coming out to keep you going. Although I do have some good news on a few projects coming up in the next few weeks. A co-editing project that I'm looking forward to but there is no rush on that and a couple of antho stories placed.

I just noticed the incorrect spelling of Lamia. I have relatives who live on Lamma Island, Hong Kong and it drove me crazy in the writing of the story. Fused together in my mind forever.

Ally, would buying a copy of the book be a more suitable form of punishment?
