Paparazzi

sakura-1.jpg

Here we go…the first 2000 odd words of my latest story ‘Paparazzi’, hopefully for your enjoyment. Let me know what you think in the comments section…

I can’t put the full thing up yet because of the aforementioned possible publishing deal, but if you want to read more or are interested in publishing it yourself, let me know.

About the image ^^

A couple of people have asked me about the image at the top of the site…it’s actually a photo I took while in holiday in Marrakesh last July. We were looking for the Museum of Modern Art I believe, when I spotted this apparently dumped pile of old, busted TVs stacked on top of a random roof, looking like an abandoned set from a Mad Max movie..

Marrakesh, aside from being one of my favourite cities, is one of the most Sci Fi places I’ve ever visited. Nothing beats the clash of Islamic culture and the ancient architecture with 24 hour Internet cafes and satelite dishes sprouting from every rooftop. Tokyo and Seoul might be your first pick for SF holidays, but I can’t recommend the feeling of being dropped into an alien culture that Marrakesh gives you enough…

Check out my other photos here…

Story coming soon…maybe..

OK… so I said I’d post one of my stories up, but I’ve had to put that on hold for a little while. Actually looks like I might have some interest from a publisher (!), so until the details of that have all been sorted out I can’t put anything up, for obvious reasons. But stay tuned…

Right then….

I’m actually going to start using this damned thing. Need somewhere for daily rants, and my other blog over at the Vistas section of Asiascape is totally unsuitable….nope, this one is going to get personal.

Partly it’ll be to promote my writing (short stories at the moment - yeah, the title is a little presumptuous), but mainly it’ll be somewhere for me to vent my anger and opinions on art, culture, tech, politics, video games, TV, anime, music…you get the drift…

And if I get my shit together today, I’ll actually get one of my stories up here for people to read…

Enjoy.
