Five Star Action

Those brilliant people over at Crimesquad.com have given ACTION: PUlse Pounding Tales Vol 1 a hefty five star review.


I'm chuffed to bits at this line: "This book should not be purchased by asthmatics or heavy smokers as it leaves a fit person breathless with excitement."


Of course I can't take all the kudos for this terrific collection, it's obviously down to the quality of stories delivered by such luminaries as Stephen Leather, Zoe Sharp, Adrian Magson, Steven Savile and Stephen Lockley, Paul D Brazill, Col Bury, David Barber, Graham Smith, James Oliver Hilton, Iain Paton, Richard Godwin and many, many more.

Let's start Howling!

Although I've had no creative influence into the book 'Howl' edited by Mark Anthony Crittenden, it's one I've been eagerly waiting for and am happy to say my copy is now winging its way over the Atlantic and towards my eagerly grasping hands.

There are a few pertinent reasons for this:

1. I love savage horror tales.
2. It's a new take on the man-beast/beast-man tales we're all used to.
3. It's got a cool cover beautifully modelled by author Erin Cole.
4. Some of the contributors are firm favourites of mine, and I like to even count some of them as firm friends I've made through the process of writing and through the blogosphere, including Lee Hughes, Paul D. Brazill, Erin Cole et al.

...and...

5. It marks the print publication debut of my little brother, Jim Hilton, (who occasionally writes as James Hilton or James Oliver Hilton) who for some time now has shared my ambition to be a full-time writer. Jim's story INTRODUCING GEMMA NYE is included in the anthology, and I have to admit to being proud as punch for him. Jim is a writer I admire, and he has a seriously wicked sense of humour that shines through his often very dark fiction. At present he is working on his first novel, a crime fiction thriller featuring his recurring short story characters of Danny and Matt McMurdo - collectively know as 'McMurder'.
