Hello there!

I've written a 2000 AD e-novella called 'Judge Anderson: Heartbreaker' for Abaddon Books. Now I don't mean to parp my own horn, but I must say that if you're a fan of letters of the alphabet being arranged in such a way that they form words and sentences, then you really won't be disappointed. This book is absolutely bursting with words (around 30,000 of them, some of them quite fancy), as well as all your favourite punctuation, including commas, full stops and those swirly ones with a dot on the bottom like the Riddler's got.

But that's not all! You'll also find:
• Capital letters
• Similes
• Italics
• Descriptions of stuff.

Put simply, if you're a fan of words typed onto a screen, edited and carefully proofread, then I guarantee this book will rock your ruddy world!

Then again, if you're someone who – for some reason – prefers turbo-charged plots to essays on the value of fonts and is more interested in reading a violent thriller starring Judge Anderson charging around Mega-City One on a Lawmaster, making wisecracks while rummaging around inside people's minds or punching them in the face, all that's in there too. Each to their own, I suppose. (Seriously though, there's a semi-colon on page 35, which I'm confident will land me a Booker. Howard Jacobson can go shite.)

So if full-throttle Thrill Power is your thing, check out the 'Coming soon' section on the home page of my website http://alecworley.weebly.com for a proper synopsis and a tasty bit of teaser text for 'Judge Anderson: Heartbreaker'...

Cheerio

Consider it bought!

The completist in me would like a thread that can keep a running record of all the 2000AD related e-novels that have been released to date (plus the new physical novels such as 'Fiefdom').  I've got all of the 'vintage' novels/paperbacks, but I'm struggling to keep up with the e-stuff.

Does Barney cover the e-novels, etc?

Oooh! I like the sound of that-especially the semi-colon bit!  ;)

Will definitely buy on release!

It's all about the words John; the words and the punctuation.

COMMANDO FORCES

Drokk the words, I want pictures and effects. Why can't it be a comic instead :lol:

I'm sure Alec could make up a cover out of words and punctuation, you know, like one of those arty things you see every so often!

Seriously though, can you give us a cover, pretty please :angel:

Are there any numbers? If there's numbers, I'm in.

Alec Worley

Cheers, Commando Forces. Will post up a cover as soon as Tharg's design-bots have been thrashed enough to thrash one out. It just better have loads of semi-colons on it is all I'm saying. And a quote from Will Self.

And yes, Pete, there's plenty of hot numeral action in this one. Lots of bored algebraic numbers and top-heavy fractions with explicit denominators just waiting for your call.

I'm buying this just on the basis of the sales pitch. That and the hope for a snark or occasional question comma.

Alec Worley

It's late and I can't figure out how to uphold pretty pictures onto this thing. So I've stuck the cover image on my website, which you can see right here: http://alecworley.weebly.com/

Feel free to nick it and repost it here, if you're feeling frisky.

An extra squirt of oil for PYE-01. Now, can anyone tell me who was the original cover artist...?

C'MON, PEOPLE! WHAT DO I PAY YOU FOR...?
