Good stuff. Didn't the full novel win a competition?

Cheers! The novel, Shock and Awe won the best opening chapter prize at the York Festival of Writing and the extract I've published here previously (Summertime in Paris) was runner up in the British Fantasy Society short story competition a few years ago.

These are new stories set in the same universe with the same protagonist which I'm writing while I work on the next novel in the series. I have a couple more to post here and there is another one to be published in a collection of short stories soon.

Loved it. Has Mal ever been behind the veil?

He has, in Shock and Awe (I'm waiting to send you a copy but you never said what format you would prefer). He returns in the next novel too but I haven't finished it yet. The short stories are what he gets up to in between episodes where he deals directly with the creatures Beyond The Veil.

I don’t know what format, as far as pc’s are concerned, the veil has not lifted for me. What format is easiest? PDF, will that work? Sorry, you always get one!

I'll e-mail you a pdf if you are OK with that.
