Well if you buy this I'll have to stay at home and write another one won't I? http://www.johnlprobert.com/site/80.asp Planned launch will be at FantasyCon alongside Mr McMahon's next little opus. Obviously there will be readings, music, dance, a little wine, and lot of sartorial indulgence. | ||

This sounds superb, John. Is there a little X-Files influence here? The cover art most certainly looks like there might be! Who did the cover? If I manage to make it to FCon, I'll definitely be looking for a copy at the launch, along with asking you to sign my copies of "Catacombs .." and "Faculty .." for me if you'd be so kind.  | ||

Great news John... having seen the final cover, I'd love to see the mock-up you mentioned. | ||

>>And I will be delighted to sign anything you'd like me to.<< Er, does that include a blank cheque from your Lordship's cheque book?  | ||

There really should be a velvet-covered edition of John's new book...  | ||

There is, he's had it tattooed aross his body so he is now literally a velvet covered edition of the book. | ||

Oh I do love velvet, although it's been the black green and yellow striped blazer that's had everyone talking today. | ||
| Joel (Joel) Username: Joel Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 91.110.177.66 |
Probably trying to decide which is the underlying colour. Or is it a postmodern blazer in which the background turns out to be only stripes, the way a Dario Argento film turns out to be only tricksy set pieces? | ||
| Joel (Joel) Username: Joel Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 91.110.177.66 |
Not that I'm maligning your fine blazer, John. No-one has to watch that for two hours. Unless they want to. And it would be more worth watching for that length of time than certain films one could mention. | ||

>>Like Full Metal Jacket.<< .. and it's sequel, Full Velvet Jacket.  | ||

One day I shall have a book with a velvet cover, but for FantasyCon this year people will just have to make do with the author Caroline - sorry I forgot to say - Steve Upham did the cover himself, from a photographic mockup I did in my parents' back garden that included me, a toy rifle, and my Dad standing on a chair with a sheet over his head (which didn't make it into the finished illustration). Perhaps I should have included the photo as an extra? | ||
