I’m Siôn Smith: I tell stories—some you read, some you hear, some you sing along with.
You’ve found your way to my little corner of the static. Now… let’s make some noise.
STUFF HAPPENING NOW:
The Cult Writer’s Survival Kit
It’s a small press magazine about what it takes to be a Cult Writer and actually get things done so that you can damn well call yourself one.
No hard sell–just sign up to the Scenes from the Coffee House newsletter and I’ll send the digital version to your inbox by return.
I’m doing a limited run of hard copies too–available from May 25th–if you want one, that’s an easy sign up for Cult of 1000 Sinners or you can take your chances at trying to find one out in the world. ..
STUFF HAPPENING SOON:
I Wrote Some Songs…
Dig Out Your Own Pirate Grave collects the lyrics from the Johnny Beatnik and the Deadbirds project… up until now anyway. Who knows how long it will go on for.
Publishing: June 16th as hard copy only.
What’s in the letterbox? Exclusive blogs, advance short stories, videos, remixed and hidden songs from the Johnny Beatnik project.
Latest Starfish & Coffee Episode: Paul Wild on Jim Morrison
Bad Hare Books is my own imprint, born out of years spent in print production. That means every book I put out is just as high quality—if not better—than anything you'll find in a bookstore. I use a 6 x 9 format because it's easier to handle, more enjoyable to read, and frankly, it looks sharper on your shelf.
I don’t print thousands of copies and stack them in a warehouse on the outskirts of town. That’s by design. It’s better for the environment, and it’s a smart, sustainable way to run a publishing outfit. Most orders ship the same day, as I keep a small stock on hand—but if it’s a brand new release or demand spikes, there might be a short delay of up to 10 days while I get fresh copies in.
