Once again, I didn't make it into Ellen Datlow's Best Horror of the Year (now Vol.5) *sob*
Once again, I made it into the top 50 Honourable Mentions that will be printed in the book. So I'm kind of in it after all. Hooray! If anyone's interested, it was for The Pest House, which appeared in Black Static #28.
No long list yet, but I'm keeping an eye out.

For The Night Is Dark launch
For The Night Is Dark, the new horror anthology from Crystal Lake Publishing, is released today, and my story, 21 Brooklands: next to Old Western, opposite the burnt out Red Lion (and breathe!) features.
I've been looking forward to reading this one, as it includes many authors whom I admire, including Gary McMahon, Stephen Bacon, William Meikle and Ray Cluley.
It's available in paperback from Amazon here. Or for the Kindle here.
BS#33 Reviews
Some lovely reviews of Signs of the Times (so my computer is safe for now...)
The inimitable D.F. Lewis over at his Nullimmortalis site:
"Out of the stories by this author I’ve read, this is her masterpiece so far. And that, of course, says it’s helluva special. A novelette that conjures up the ‘genius loci’ of dereliction and docks on the edge of the North Sea...There is so much to speak about with reference to this important work that I’d end up filling a book myself about it. About dog-heads who once peopled the past." See whole review here.
And Jim McLeod over at Ginger Nuts of Horror:
"Signs of The Times, gets the prize for the discovery of the issue. In this intriguing story about the return of the Dog Faced men, the narrative moves from a heartwarming story about a friendships across the barricades, to a story about the End of Days seamlessly.

Black Static #33
The brilliant Black Static is out now to buy here - and even better (for me at any rate) - I'm in it!
This will be my 8th appearance in this wonderful magazine and hopefuly not my last. The story, Signs of the Times, was a bit of a bugger to write, but *she says quietly* I'm more proud of it than anything else I've ever written, I think.. Which is a bit of a surprise (and would have been an even bigger one had I known that while wanting to bash myself over the head with the PC...) So I'm hoping other folks like it! Otherwise I really might...

International Women's Day
No, I didn't know it was either, but the good folks at This Is Horror did and they've posted an article about women in horror here. Very chuffed to find myself in there - and in brilliant company: Thana Niveau and Sarah Langan are writers that I admire tremendously.
And Gary McMahon, who is always, always generous with both his time and his praise, says very nice things about me indeed. Although I'm not sure I deserve them, I'll definitely take them!
