Hi-Ex 2010

I posted this in my Facebook profile.

I have not been to Inverness for a long, long time. It took me four hours to get there by bus from Glasgow. I’m taking the train next time!

I got in Eden Court around 12.30pm. I walked around and I saw Graeme Neil Reid. We talked for [...]

Hi-Ex 2010 and The Punisher

I’m going to heading up to Hi-Ex this year. Like most people, I missed out the first two conventions as we were snowed in.

This time, I’m definitely going to be there. I booked my coach ticket but not my ticket into the con. (note: to self - get onto it!).

As you may know, I have [...]

Back from The Depths - Hallowscream

Finally, we did it. We managed to produce a tribute comic dedicated to Scream!.

Malcolm Kirk collated all of the artwork and put them together. It was then uploaded to eBook, ClickWheel and to the Ning group as a PDF file.

Barely a few days went past, we are already talking about producing issue 2! Hopefully, in [...]

Sci-Fi Research

I’m going to be researching for 2 science fiction scripts; one for a murder/mystery and the other for my futuristic law enforcement.

The murder/mystery one will be a five paged script. I have a rough idea how it will play out. It will set in the present day.

The futuristic law enforcement will be a lot longer. [...]

Actually, I thought of [...]

John Cahill also makes a second contribution to the same issue; Bad Static (written by Martin Hayes).

Unfortunately, there are some problems with FutureQuake Press website and you cannot purchase any of the issues [...]

Writing - 8th September 2009

I am going to write a blog post at least once a month about my progress with script or story writing.

For the past few years, I have been writing horror comic scripts. I am now branching into crime. I wrote a single crime script but plan to write some more.I’m not giving up horror and [...]

Hi-Ex 2009 - Work Commitments

At the weekend, I discovered my work commitments would prevent me from attending Hi-Ex 2009. Shame.

Next year, I’ll be there.

I wish Rich and Vicky all the best with their comic con. They have a large set of auction items whose proceeds will go to charity, Children 1st.

it is an amazing set of items up for [...]

Script Turned Down

Recently, FutureQuakePress turned down a script of mine. They felt it didn’t do anything for them and that it read like a action movie and it would be difficult to work it out artistically. They also felt it was half finished.

Yeah, I was disappointed but they did have a point. It was half finished. I [...]
