Firstly, the big important thing. Am I now the commissioning editor for Solaris. Authors on our list include Brian Lumley, Conrad Williams, Simon Green, Gail Martin etc etc. It's really exciting to be heading up such a varied list. In others news I've completed the first draft of my novel. | ||

Oh wow, great stuff, Johnathan!  I'm beginning to feel that I'm the only one here who isn't a "proper writer" or in the business in some way. Still, there's no shame in just being a great fan of the genre, is there? | ||

I sincerely hope not!! | ||

Absolutely not. That's how I started. I think we all do it for the love in the genre press on the whole. The passion will always be there for me. | ||

"Am I now." Do we know? I've got a couple of Solaris titles. Some are good, some are not. Good deal with the job, J! | ||

Dammit, my brain! Has been a somewhat manic week. I meant I am now. | ||

Wow. Congrats. Does this mean you've left Abaddon? | ||
| Jonathan (Jonathan) Username: Jonathan Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 91.143.178.131 |
Nope, it means we've expanded. I'm still editor-in-chief of Abaddon, though there will also be a co-editor in a month's time. | ||

Blimey...good news all round. You must feel like a dog with two dicks at the minute. :-) | ||

Or maybe, as in the case of 'cheating' Peter Andre, a dick with two dogs. I didn't say that. It's beneath me. | ||

I feel kind of dazed, terrified, excited, happy, dizzy, daunted, full of the buzz of creativity etc. It's very weird but great. I now have the most ungodly amount of admin to do as I take on the whole new line. | ||
