ffox Writing: August 2007
http://ffoxwriting.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 07, 2007. Johnny Elvis plumbs the Horrors of Hammer. I just checked out the blog of my old mate Johnny Elvis. He managed to wangle himself an invitation to the Hammer House of Horror fiftieth anversary. A great score for a horror writer I'm sure you'll agree. But to top the invite, he took along his tape recorder and interviewed all sorts of Hammer celebs from back in the sixties and seventies. Click over to All Things Horror. And check it out.

ffox Writing: Happening Stuff.
http://ffoxwriting.blogspot.com/2007/03/happening-stuff.html
Saturday, March 03, 2007. The Gateway - my work in progress. This is, er, progressing! My editor at Wild Child, Karen Frontain (bless her), reviewed the first full draft. She didn't exactly shoot me but. I was affronted, of course I was, and made various comments by email. Karen (cool lady) responded with a long and detailed explanation on where I had gone wrong (there were a huge number of issues). So, now I have lots of work to do, but already I can see it improving. It will be ready later this year.

ffox Writing: November 2006
http://ffoxwriting.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 29, 2006. Fantastic Art from Cover Van. I met this guy on line through his wife, M E Ellis. He does the most stupendous art (see above). Visit his blog and say hallo, the images are great. Sunday, November 05, 2006. Literary Sass Award for The Cost of Loyalty. It has arrived - Here it is taking pride of place in my eTrophy Cabinet. I tried filling with Tequila but it just ran all over the computer keyboard. The Cost of Loyalty is available from Freya's Bower. Friday, November 03, 2006.

ffox Writing: September 2006
http://ffoxwriting.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 27, 2006. Moments of Clarity/Moments of Confusion. Okay, so I don't Blog every day. This is not a true diary. I come here only when I have a significant day. Let me explain. After working last weekend and with the prospect of working next weekend (I do IT and telecoms support for a Global Corporation) I took six days off. Monday thru Friday were to belong to Carol and me. Yeah it is - so what? I just go with the flow.". I read her thoughts in awe. This lady is relatively young in...

ffox Writing: June 2007
http://ffoxwriting.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 01, 2007. The Gateway is Coming. Editor, K M Frontain. Tells me that she'll return the book to me before the end of next week. This superb cover has been provided, courtesy of Covervan. And Wild child have given the book a 'coming soon' date of early August. Here's a short extract -. 8221; he asked. 8220;Bingo. C’mon. Don’t muck about. Show me.”. Jon stood and crossed to the window. He fiddled with the blind for a moment until satisfied there was enough privacy. 8220;Protection, innit? Nobod...

R J Sampson: A View from the Lake...
http://richsampson.blogspot.com/2006/12/view-from-lake.html
Thursday, 7 December 2006. A View from the Lake. For no other reason than the fact I have absolutely nothing interesting to talk about, I thought I'd write a review of an excellent small press novel I read recently. A View from the Lake. The following winter and Katherine is preparing to leave the resort, but when she glimpses strange figures out on the lake, or in the snow covered woods, she knows the lake holds a dark and terrible secret.

R J Sampson: Another Two Rejections...
http://richsampson.blogspot.com/2006/12/another-two-rejections.html
Monday, 11 December 2006. Damn I never thought this writing crap would be easy, but two rejections in one day has always gotta hurt. The first was. None Fatter Than Desire. Which I sent to Three Lobed Burning Eye and to be fair, I know the story sucks. The other was a weird 'frozen cowboy' western titled. Which I was pleased with, but Dred turned it down. Still the editor did say it was well written, so that's something. A TOWN CALLED DECEPTION. Gordy Moon limped into town on a shoeless mule with an arro...

R J Sampson: Penis Bunnies...
http://richsampson.blogspot.com/2006/12/pennis-bunnies.html
Wednesday, 6 December 2006. I recently wrote a story about a bunch of rabbits with penises on their backs. It's as bad as it sounds and has been picked up for publication (amazingly) by the good people at Walking Bones Magazine. Stop whacking off and go here for a preview: http:/ www.walkingbones.com/authorspot.html. Congrats on finding a home for this! A very strange story it was indeed. 8 December 2006 at 15:24. I do love the strange. 9 December 2006 at 01:15. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

R J Sampson: December 2006
http://richsampson.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 14 December 2006. This book is something special. The Evening Redness in the West. Is easily the best book I've read all year and quite possibly one of the best ever. This is definitely not the wild west Hollywood would like you to believe in, this is gritty, dirty and incredibly well researched. The Mexican towns and the poverty the men encounter, along with some of the outrageous acts they commit, make for a book about as far away from. Available from www.waterstones.com. Despite all the bad ...
