It may be Wednesday but there's no WIP post from me today, I'm too hyper to string more than eight words together. I've been a total pimp this week... And the worst sort, it's all me, me, hey have you heard about me. Thank you to everyone who's played along (or intends to play along) with my cheeky meme contest. Your support is much appreciated and I hope you all win. erm...
Anyhow, apologies for yet more pimpage (it ends here), but Strange Men in Pinstripe Suits just received its first review from Simon Marshall Jones over at Beyond Fiction and it is fanblinkingtastic. Many thanks to Simon, Mark Deniz and all the guys over at BF who've seriously made my week.
Eek! Late addition to the post...
Thank you to everyone who preordered a copy. I can't believe I left that part out.

It's beginning to feel like TOC week - apologies for one Table of Contents following another, but this one was far too cool to ignore. The TOC for Dead Souls has been announced and it features two Scousers (aka people from Liverpool) - that is me and Mr. Ramsey Campbell.
Okay can someone please pick me up off the floor.
Now, Mr. Campbell doesn't realise it but I think I may have been in his head for some time. Apparently his novel
The Face That Must Die features a main character called Cathy Gardner who just so happens to live in Liverpool. Someone (an Editor about ten years back) told me that not only does the character live in Liverpool but in the same suburb as me. I've checked that bit out on the internet (will you just buy the book already) and that part seems to be a no (apparently
she lives in Cantril Farm,
I don't), though he has written stories based in my suburb (concealed for fear of fans stalking my home - ahem!).
Anyway, here's the TOC (in alphabetical order):

I'm in a happy, happy mood... I almost have a title for The Poisoned Apple II - Okay, let me rephrase that. I thought I had the perfect title for TPAII but it garnered a raised eyebrow and an 'are you sure', so the brain is still ticking over.
Anyway, I'm browsing the aisles of Asda (large British supermarket known as Walmart in the US) and I come upon the little dude below. I had to have him. He has a strange walk (like me) and a gruff voice (unlike me) and sings rather badly (yep, just like me). I'd like to show him moving and singing on video but a) I can't upload videos to my computer and b) he's a doll, I mean you're not exactly missing out. Anyway, he is now my inspiration for the fearsome Wolfram Lavoisier in the above book. Oh, and the title relates to him and the more I think about it the worse it sounds.
Next we have two fabulous books that arrived in the post this morning from Morrigan Books. I squealed when I saw the parcel and I'm not even in one of them. At this juncture in the post let us take a moment to think of poor old Frog and his Mail Order Bride who are yet to find a home. *Cough Cough* to the people at Hotel Guignol where the story is currently submitted (along with, I imagine, many other Voices rejects). This book contains, among others, a story by the fabulous K.V. Taylor. 'The Mirror' is set in room 105. Katey, I am insanely jealous - the book looks awesome.
The other book is How to Make Monsters by Gary McMahon. A collection of 14 short stories - and kudos to Mr. McMahon, for whom among us doesn't want a collection of their stories in print.
And here we have the cool Wolf Dude and the spines of the books - because I love spines of books and I'm loving my Wolf Dude.
I just popped back from the review. That was fantastic, Cate! Your head must be swollen to at least the size of a beach ball.
As beach balls are easily burst I guess that's the perfect analogy. Though it's more the size of Mars at the moment.
Wow - with a review like that I am even more excited about "Strange Men..."! Congrats, Cate! Stop being so modest. You know Miss Write would hate to see you underplaying your talent! ;)
I envy Miss Write's sparkly heels.
If it is that good I am really, really glad I pre-ordered yesterday. now I can't wait to get it in my grubby hands (but I will wash them before i open it up.)
That was a great review! And well-deserved...
Don't worry, Jamie. My book is quite fond of grubby hands.
Thanks, Josh. I'm sure the universe will balance things out and send me a head shrinking one soon. Until then, I'm trapped in my house. Send food.
Wow, great review!!! I may just preorder *another* copy. :-D
Maybe a copy for a left side of your brain and one for your right side and then they can compare notes.
Well deserved, Cate. Well deserved.
Fab review - but no less than you deserve :) Copy duly pre-ordered.
Hi everyone
Another newbie here. I've joined on the recommendation of a friend on here. Looks like there are lots of interesting threads.
I love gardening and messing about with the camera so you should see me joining in with those for starters.
Keep smiling, Dennis from [url=http://www.myonlinepayday.com]Personal Loans[/url] website!
Thanks, Aaron.
Thanks, Jon.
I don't need to win. It's enough that I got an excuse to post a picture of Binetsu Danji!
What a review-- I couldn't wait to see this book in the first place, but now I'm impossibly excited. Eeeeee!!
Ha, but you're still entered Natalie :D
Thanks, Katey.
