Bless me father, for I have sinned...

It has been five months since my last blog-fession. Five. Long. Sunny(ish). Months. I probably deserve a jolly good talking to. Or something similar.
So I'm going to start with a quick update-ry blog, and hopefully stay on top of things a bit better from now on (so to speak).

• Writing-wise, I have finished a second full edit of the Volume 3 of The Automata Wars - but it ain't all over yet. This is a monstrous beast of a book, and could do with some more clipping down to size yet. I am confident that next year will finally see the beast delivered...
• In the meantime, my short story, 'Tommy's Game' - a tale of gambling and vice - was published in the new anthology Airships and Automata.  This is now available from Cogsmith Publishing, via Amazon or via the Publisher's Etsy site.
• In radio news, the #GASP radio show moved to Midlands Metalheads radio station, and now broadcasts every Saturday, 8-11pmUK. You can listen in via the radio station's own webpage, or via tune-in, and don't forget you can interact with us live via the facebook event each week. - This week's event is here.
• Musically, we had the return of Mediaeval Biaetches. Following our first performance at Exeter Phoenix last December, we re-took the stage at the Phoenix Alternative Festival in August. Any rumours that we can only appear if a phoenix is involved are untrue...
• And finally, I launched my first solo musical choon since the demise of Crimson Clocks on Saturday 1 October. Entitled Poor Jenny, the song tells of a legendary ship lost and frozen in the ice... available for free* download from my new bandcamp page now! And if you like the track, please do pop over to my new facebook music page and like the page to be kept up to date with new musical endeavours...

*when it asks you to name a price, say zero!

Phew! Lots more things coming in October which promises to be a folk horror filled month, so I shall try to do better at updating this blog thinger. Time will tell...
