Ha. 'Angry Robot.' If there's a more appropriate publishing house name for Zed, then I can't think of it...

(Well, not any that aren't obscene...)

Harpers are shit hot, Zed. This is outstanding success. Well deserved, sir, you've worked hard for it.

Nice one.

Angry Robot is fast emerging as a very promising imprint, publishing the likes of Kaaron Warren and Lavie Tidhar - and now Gary McMahon.

Oh, and Pretty Little Dead Things is a killer title.

Thanks again, chaps and chapettes.

Angry Robot are great - I'm overjoyed to be going with them on this crazy journey. Kaaron Warren's SLIGHTS was the best novel I read last year )just sneaked it in at the end of December). AR are signing up some great new talent. And me.

Hooray!

trhe photo on the bridge: were you trying to channel Denis Franz from NYPD Blues?

[suddenly realizes that people might not know this NBC programme]

Think The Sweeny in New York, and mildly up-dated to be set in 'today', but McMahon is nearing retirement and hates playing the new political games and technology. Hmm… much like reality, I suppose…

I just had several tabloids on the phone asking me about the time Zed fell asleep asleep naked on the bog. I'm holding out for the best price.

Way to go, boss!
