...but one is unlikely to appear in the near future. Stating that I have been too busy to blog seems so lame, but it's true. I guess that's a good thing but I have actually missed tipping the contents of my head into here.

Real news first. Late last night The Fire Sermon hit 10,000 readers. This made me extremely happy but being an ambitious sort of fool, figured I would wait for the next 10,000 to kick in before I was truly pleased. the debut issue of Too Hot For Dogs is also not far behind this figure, which makes me happier still. This is good news all round as the next graphic short will be heading that way before the month is out.

I've also reached a critical mass with a project that might be sheer genius or absolute suicide. It's called I, Wendigo - and is somewhat obviously, a supernatural short story. Except it's not really a short story at all, it's a complete novel - delivered via twitter. That's right. Every single day in May, a new chapter will be released (sometime in the morning GMT) making 31 chapters of monster mayhem. I don't believe anybody has ever attempted to deliver a whole novel in this way before - and there may be a good reason for that, but I wanted to find out for myself. If you're interested, you can follow the mayhem at twitter.com/iwendigo

Slightly related, the lovely people at Google have slightly revamped their blogging tools and if you're reading this at the source page, you'll see that across the top, just under the header image, there are now some additional stand alone pages. These are in development at the moment, but if you check back later today, you'll find either a "Press" page or an "I, Wendigo" page - haven't decided yet. This is good news as zodiaclung.co.uk takes far too much work for me to keep it updated daily.

Anyway, there's three more of these twitter stories lines up for later in the year. I hope it works otherwise I might have to develop the ideas into longer works - and I have enough to do thank you.

There's also three supernatural crime stories headed out over the next couple of months. All three stories are aimed at competitions and feature my (now slightly modified) creation D.I. Kang. In no particular order they are: Backsliding Fearlessly, Death May Be Your Santa Claus and All Of The Good Ones Are Taken. For the observant or just plain curious, these are indeed all song titles from Mott the Hoople/Ian Hunter. No reason. Just seemed like a cool nerdy thing to do at the time. No further reference will be made to this ever again until somebody asks me. The comps are all high profile things with stuff at the end of them, so we'll see what happens.

More later...
