Celestial Toyroom- Burning Human

A while back I said my 5th Doctor story would be in Doctor Who Appreciation Society's Celestial Toyroom. It had a delay but it's in the most recent issue.

My copy arrived in the post today and I can't wait to read it and reacquaint myself with my story. It's my third Who story to be published after Escaping Sunbeams and The Prison Hiss in Blue Box. This one is called The Burning Human and features the 5th Doctor. My other two were 7th and 2nd if you're interested.

This one is more of a romp than the other two. Amazing fun to write and hopefully load of fun to read. If you do read it please let me know your thoughts on it.

Thanks

VWORP VWORP- Issue 2- The Lodger article

Hi,

Vworp Vworp issue 2 is available for pre order, and it contains my article on the adaptation of The Lodger from comic strip to TV episode, the article includes my interview with writer of both of the above Gareth Roberts. The article was written before knowledge of a sequel to The Lodger came to light, which I'm really looking forward to.

The first issue of Vworp Vworp was so good and this second one features loads of stuff on Abslom Daak, if you're into the Doctor Who comic strips it's a must buy.

A Burning Human in Celestial Toyroom

GREAT NEWS!

Blue Box Issue 2 - Escaping Sunbeams

Here's some interesting news for you. Issue 2 of Blue Box, a Doctor Who fanzine, is now available, and it features a Doctor Who story that I wrote.

The story features the seventh Doctor and Ace. If anyone isn't as nerdy about Doctor Who as my good self and the sweaty masses who love it now, the seventh Doctor was played by Sylvester McCoy, who I believe has just been offered a role in The Hobbit. Anyway the story, entitled Escaping Sunbeams, contains a boys diary, burning monsters and a shoelace.

You can buy it through paypal from dalek82@hotmail.co.uk. and it only costs £1.50 in the UK, and only £2.50 in the rest of the world. so you have no excuse, it's just pennies. Please buy it, it's a good old fashioned fanzine and I'm really proud of my story in it.

On a final note Gallifrey News Base is a blog i always check for Doctor Who news and to see my name on there was quite a thrill, here's the link to that.

Good Friday Catch Up

Been a weird few weeks, or is it just a week since I last blogged. My mind is all over the place. Maybe it's being distrupted by the time vortex as a certain Doctor returns to our screens tomorrow night 6:25pm.


So, within the last week have been to Amsterdam for a few days, where I went to Anne Frank's House, which was utterly heartbreaking and then to the Rijks Museum where I got to see the Night Watch.

It looked more impressive, and bloody huge, up close. Heidi couldn't stop thinking the guy at the front was Bill Bailey. Also just heard Peter Greenaway's new film is based on this painting, so may have to check that out. I'm a glutton for punishment.

My next blog for In/Out magazine, link is on the sidebar, confronts this gluttony in looking at extreme films, name checking Gummo, Irreversible, Visitor Q and more along the way. But the focus is an extreme film which defeated me, Kirby Dick's Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist.

You're lucky that I chose that picture, the alternative was him nailing his cock to a stool with a hammer. Do a quick Google search you'll find it. I won't harp on too much about it my thoughts can be found in my In/Out blog, hopefully be up next Tuesday.

Finally, I've decided to give Script Frenzy a miss this year. Main reason is I've got too many other scripts vying for attention. Need to get a few things finished before i can move on. Saying this I'm considering writing a radio drama during this month. Idea has been in my head for ages and is called The Trees.

Have a good Easter weekend and enjoy Doctor Who saturday night. You may be able to tell I'm a little excited.
