As Skwirlinator I joined a shitpotfull of scifi & fantasy forums back in the day. Speculative Evolution Aka: Conceptual Evolution was one such forum that explores The possibilities of life's strange designs based on biological science. I only had about 300 posts there but had to lay low because...

London Falling by Paul Cornell Believe it or not, I've just read yet another contemporary urban fantasy featuring supernatural doings in London! You could (almost) fill a shelf with books which fall into that category – as I've said before, it's creating a sub-genre all of its own. This one is...

Hi, I've read that there's a Ringworld miniseries to be or that has been made by I think it's the SyFy channel. It was supposed to have been started in 2013 and something led me to believe it would be aired in March of this year. Does anyone know anything about it and if so how I can find out...

A Madness of Angels by Kate Griffin Yet another recommendation from a review in Interzone, The Madness of Angels does make me wonder just how many different stories set in an occult version of contemporary London the market can cope with. Currently we have Jacka's Alex Veranovels and...

I'm thrilled that Mark Helprin's "Winter's Tale" is shortly to be released as a movie. What are the chances that it will be half decent? I was disappointed by the Cloud Atlas movie, and hope this won't be a repeat disaster.

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (tt1538403)

BBC is starting a new tv show this week (on Saturday 28th at 8.25pm on BBC 1 UK). They've been playing things pretty close to their chests with this one, releasing the odd short trailer here and there and the following blurb on their site:- A fantasy drama set in a world of legendary heroes...

Some have told me my books are more fantasy than Scifi. However, they are about parallel universes or worlds in a multiverse. My first book 'Energy Force' (reduced to £3.08) sets out the story of discovering the multiverse and the perils it brings with it. I wrote an extended ending via 'Beast...
