Catch Up
Nothing much to say - too busy to think about LJ posts and my personal life - but I haven't posted in ages, so here's a quick update.

Conflux has been and gone and, most disappointingly, this year I had to miss it. A number of books were launched there though in which I had some involvement.

Slice of Life, a collection of short stories by Paul Haines (paulhaines) was launched by Stuart Mayne's new press The Mayne Press . I did the cover and internal layout and design. I'm still waiting to find out how this book can be ordered online (hopefully sorted this week), but I have to say this is a MUST HAVE book. Awesome writing, disturbing and heartbreaking stories, and all proceeds go directly to the Paul Haines cancer fund.

Eneit Press released two books:

Gillian Polack's (gillpolack) novel Life Through Cellophane is a slightly dark (but not too much so) 'suburban-horror' novel that the author and publisher describe as "latte suburban horror". It is available from http://www.eneitpress.com/books.php?isbn=9870980691115. For this one, I also did the internal and cover design and layout.

And the second anthology in the acclaimed "In Bad Dreams" anthology series is also here! In Bad Dreams 2: Where Death Stalks is an anthology with, unlike Life Through Cellophane, no milk or sugar in its dark and bitter tales of horror. It includes 11 stories by authors such as Martin Livings (martinlivings), Stephanie Gunn (azhure), Gillian Polack (gillpolack), and myself. I also did the internal layout and the cover design for this one too.

SHARDS: Short Sharp Tales, with stories by Shane Jiraiya Cummings and illustrations by me, is also currently still available from Brimstone Press (http://www.brimstonepress.com.au/). Keep your eye on my LJ over the next few days for your chance to win a copy!
