You Are Hearing Me Talk...to Visionary Treks

I've done an interview with Roz and Michael over at Visionary Treks, which went live today...

It's in-depth stuff all about my writing for the Star Trek fiction line - we talk about the Star Trek: Titan series, my man-crush on Will Riker and the issues and themes behind Synthesis, my 2009 novel about first contact with alien artificial intelligences.

Death And Defiance and also Coventry

There's a new Horus Heresy anthology on the horizon, and it's called Death And Defiance. I've got an all-new original short story in it, along with tales from other Black Library writers such as Nick Kyme, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Guy Haley and Andy Smillie.

The blurb says:
This anthology contains five exclusive stories from across the battlefields of the Horus Heresy.

Each tale ties into one of the major arcs of the series so far: we follow a splinter of the scattered Night Lords Legion towards Ultramar, join a pack of Space Wolves despatched on a mission from the Wolf Lord, and gain a glimpse into the inner motivations of an assassin tasked with the elimination of one of the traitor Primarchs.

Words alone can no longer convey the horrors of the war that now grips the Imperium. In what should have been an age of enlightenment and glorious triumph, instead warriors from both sides reel from the twin agonies of betrayal and bloodshed; those still fighting on the front lines, and those long forgotten by those they might once have called brother.

Death And Defiance is a hardcover release that will be available through BL's Exclusive Products range from October 13th, but you'll be able to pick it up a couple of day early if you're at the Warhammer Fest event, which has also just been announced for Saturday 11th October at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

All five of us writers in the anthology are going to be at the event, so it's the ideal opportunity to get the book signed by the lot of us. In addition to signings, there's also going to be seminars, games demos, and a big sales space with lots of merch.

You Are Hearing Me Talk...On the G&T Show's 150th Episode!

Teri, Mike and Nick over at the decidely NSFW Sunday G&T Show Star Trek podcast asked me over to help celebrate their 150th episode, and it was my pleasure to hang out with them (after some minor technical glitches) to talk about all things Trek, including my Star Trek: The Fall novel The Poisoned Chalice and my forthcoming Star Trek: Titan novel Sight Unseen. Also, I impersonate Charlton Heston badly.
