REMIC READER COMPETITION
OK, so this is the deal. I’ve had a lot of emails recently either demanding a return of Carter/Kade from the original Spiral books, or screeching for the return of Keenan, Franco and Pippa for another Combat K mission.
Well here’s the thing. After finishing THE IRON WOLVES for Angry Robot and my comedy side-project THE BOBBIT, I’ve a bit of free time over the summer — and YOU THE READERS get to choose what I write next!! Because, y’know, Rem LOVES YOU ALL. xxx.
So, here’s the competition bit. Either email me, Andy Remic – jappoc [at] hotmail.co.uk – or give me a tweet @andyremic with the subject line I WANT SPIRAL NEXT or I WANT COMBAT K NEXT, and a single sentence explaining WHY.
THE PRIZE: Well, not only do you choose in which universe I next write, but you’ll also get 1) a free copy of the finished book, both digital and paperback; 2) a marked-up original one-off paper manuscript of the work, with all corrections and everything; 3) the chance to hang out with Rem for the day; probably in a pub.
So what are you waiting for? Get tweeting, facebooking or emailing!!

THE FOUR REALMS-
Half-vampire Darwin stumbles across a corpse on the streets of London, and in a pocket discovers a notebook in a mysterious language. Divided between human ethics and vampire bloodlust, Darwin finds himself both condemner and saviour of a race who’ve never considered him one of their own. Now, he must try and lead the survivors to sanctuary in New Salisbury before Mr West completes his genocide of the vampires in his quest to obtain the book…
Maureen Summerglass is eighty-two years old, and a prisoner in her ramshackle home. She is afraid to let people enter in case they discover the oak door in her cellar. Threatened with homelessness and retirement from her job as a gatekeeper between worlds, Maureen breaks protocol when the death of a close friend is covered up… and enters the city of New Salisbury to search for his missing notebook. There, she discovers a world unlike the one of myth and fairy tale she imagined, and instead one of black market economies, brand names and tuk tuks. As she investigates, not only is she in extreme danger, but discovers she may be the first human female able to use magic…

Okay, I was tagged last week in The Next Big Thing. Thus, here are my own tags passing on the flaming baton, four absolutely fabulous authors who I very much recommend, and their subsequent TNBG posts…… Enjoy!!
Ian Graham – http://andyremic.wordpress.com/2012/11/29/ian-graham-the-next-big-thing/
Stan Nicholls – http://andyremic.wordpress.com/2012/11/29/stan-nicholls-the-next-big-thing/
Richard Ford – http://richard4ord.wordpress.com/2012/11/26/the-next-big-thing/
Ian Watson – http://www.ianwatson.info/the-next-big-thing/
Stan Nicholls has been a reviewer and interviewer in the UK for more than 20 years and is a key figure on the genre scene. He writes a regular column for TIME OUT and contributes to both INTERZONE and STARBURST. Since the original Orcs trilogy his Quicksilver fantasy trilogy has been an international hit.
“I can personally recommend Stan’s ORC series of novels – fast paced, great battles, and you get to see the world from the eyes of an orc! Go on. You know you want to…” – Andy Remic.
STAN NICHOLLS
1) What is the working title of your next book?
At this moment I’m waiting for the reaction to a proposal I have in for my next novel. Until I hear, I can’t talk about it. Ditto the working title, which in any case has already changed several times and probably will again. But I’m currently working on something else that has a title that’s unlikely to change. It’s called ‘Shake Me To Wake Me’. We can talk about that.
2) Where did the idea come from for the book?
This question is perilously close to the classic “Where do you get your ideas?” that we all know and love. ‘Shake Me … ’ is a collection of short stories, some reprint, the rest newly written. The stories range in date from 1993 to the present, so we’d be talking about ideas that struck over quite a lengthy period. I don’t know where the seed of an idea comes from. I only know about sweating it to full plumpness.
3) What genre does your book fall under?
All of them. Well, no; that’s ridiculous. Fantasy, science fiction, supernatural, a dash of crime and stuff it’s hard to put a handle on. Let’s say “fantastical”.
4) What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?
Considering the range of stories … I don’t know, but off the top of my head it’d be nice to have Nathan Fillion, Ron Perlman, David Boreanaz, Lucy Lia, Claudia Black, Mila Jovovich *maybe*, Jet Li, Eddie Izzard, Alan Rickman … And assuming I can have dead people I’d like Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Alec Guinness. I’m tempted to have Kenneth Williams.
But maybe animation would be better for some of it.
5) What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
It’s about different stuff.
6) Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Agency.
7) How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?
About twenty years. Short stories, remember.
8) What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
I honestly can’t make a comparison that covers the range of content. Or if I did it’d be to writers infinitely more talented than I am, which makes me look a schmuck.
9) Who or what inspired you to write this book?
I suppose I kind of inspired myself, given the writing gunk coating my DNA. I’ve always written and always made up stories. A host of writers I admire inspired me too; they gave me the desire to try to be as good as them. The collection contains what I consider to be my best stories. Or rather the ones that were the least unsatisfying, that had a germ of an interesting idea or just made me feel okay about being a writer.
10) What else about the book might pique the reader’s interest?
Well, the content’s eclectic but still within the speculative category, so hopefully it’ll appeal to readers of fantasy, and what we might call the offbeat. Readers of my orcs series of novels might be interested to know that there are going to be two or three – I’m not sure yet – new orcs stories, and one of them is over 20,000 words. That’ll be accompanied by either two orcs shorts or another long, almost novella length piece. Oh, and we’ve got one of the best genre artists doing the cover.
