5 Star Theme Planet Review…

A wonderful 5 star review of Theme Planet by Andy Remic…

“The plot itself has enough twists and turns to keep you firmly entranced and the pace is pretty much relentless throughout the whole novel, there are a few genuine surprises too and the author throws a few curve balls that I really didn’t see coming at all… there is a real maturity to the prose which does create an effective counterpoint to the over-the-top Theme Park backdrop. I seriously loved this book, as with all of the author’s novels there is a relentless vibrance, an unforgiving energy that you can’t help but be swept along with and this is combined with a great plot, larger than life characters and some powerful messages, highly recommended.” 5 STARS

New Year News Roundup…

Okay, here we several things to tickle your fancy for the New Year. First up is a couple of antho reviews over at Pornokitsch (www.pornokitsch.com) where fabby SF fanatic editor Ian Whates/Newcon Press (http://newconpress.co.uk/) receives a detailed going over of his anthologies, Conflicts and Further Conflicts:

Conflicts: http://www.pornokitsch.com/2011/12/underground-reading-conflicts-ian-whates.html#more

Further Conflicts: http://www.pornokitsch.com/2011/12/new-releases-further-conflicts-edited-by-ian-whates.html

On another note (but still relating to Pornokitsch), I have just received my absolutely beautifully bound hardback copy of Pandemonium: Stories of the Apocalypse, in which I have a short story Πανδαιμονειον about a disenchanted teacher who gets sucked up an insane visitation of Hell to the mortal realm… http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pandemonium-Stories-Apocalypse-ebook/dp/B00624EIBK/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1325494623&sr=1-1

Finally, Morpheus Tales (http://www.morpheustales.com/) have just released their #15 Supplement, in which my novel Theme Planet is reviewed and, ahem, The Rem is also interviewed. Check out: http://issuu.com/morpheustales/docs/mt15supplement

And finally finally Anarchy Books are just finishing their FREE BOOK PROMOTION which has been a great success (nearly 20,000 downloads great success/ which is good, I think, for a leedle publisher like Anarchy), and you can just nip in at the end of the promotion and bag your free books by brilliant authors such as James Lovegrove, Eric Brown, Gary McMahon, Dan Henk, Jeffrey Thomas and Vincent Holland-Keen.
