Ladies & Gentlemen Anthology

Just finished lettering 'On Second Thoughts' for Water Closet Press's newest issue - it's Ladies and Gentlemen Anthology and it looks great!

The story features a cross over of their Victorian styled era, with the high-tec future world of COLT-45.  The comic will be available at Thought Bubble in November.  Buy it!

Here's a teaser of Darren's artwork...

METAVERSE Teaser Image

Here's a quick 'teaser' image from the ultra talented Dan Cornwell.  It's from 'Area 101', a story written by my good self that's destined for the METAVERSE Anthology.

This is as much as I've seen so far and I'm like an excited child at Christmas!

TXTLIT - August Competition Runner Up!

One of my micro fiction stories was shortlisted for the August TxtLit competition and I ended up as a 'Runner Up.'

I consider this encouraging news, as it's the first writing competition I've ever entered!

50 Word Story - The Scout

Another publishing success!  Fifty Word Stories is a website that publishes stories with, yes you've guessed it, exactly 50 words.  It's my first time on their website and with one of my favourite little tales too.  Happy face.

Here's the link:-

and here's the story itself:-

CHRIS REDFERN: The Scout

 

The scout was young, only fourteen, and he was one of the best.
Countless times he’d saved his people from both ambush and defeat, but when the arrow took him, their fate, like his own, was sealed.
The enemy scout lowered his bow. He was young, only thirteen, but better.

COLT-45 Update

Darren's doing a truly great job with the artwork on COLT-45.  As I've now started work on lettering the first few pages, it really seems like we're making progress at last!

Here's a 'teaser' showing the very first panel of the comic...
