'Off The Wall' (and into the pages of history)

For an 'off the wall' interview with me, as well as his singular take on Joe Hunter 3 - Slash and Burn - nip on over to Lee Hughes' blog where I promise you'll have a chuckle and come away from it glad that you visited. While you're there, you might want to check out some of Lee's other stuff. He's a top writer in the horror, crime and sci-fi field and, I predict, a big name for the future.

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'.

Howl is available from Lame Goat Press, Createspace.com and soon on Amazon.com

As a service to other aspring authors, I started my sister blog Thrillers, Killers 'n' Chillers to showcase peoples' hidden talents and to encourage feedback and criticism to help those authors out. TK'n'C has succeeded way beyond my early expectations (it gets more hits than my own blog goddamnit!) and has attracted some amazing new writers and their work.

Today I have posted three new tales from the pens of Eric Beetner, Christopher Grant and Lee Hughes. Why not skip on over via the link and see what I'm talking about.

The back catalogue is awesome as well, so why not stay awhile?
