Script-droid(s) signing Shark book at Forbidden Planet

[Alec Worley]

Hey, you! Put down that sandwich and listen!

Me and fellow script-droid Al Ewing done stories for this new anthology coming out called 'Sharkpunk'. It's a collection of pulpy page-turners about sharks. Obviously.

Anyways, it's got a bloody awesome cover by Simon Coleby. Specifically, this one...

Hang on.

How do you work the image link on this bloody thing...

*sigh*

Look, just go onto my website, scroll down and you'll find a whacking great picture of it there: http://alecworley.weebly.com/ It's really very nice and definitely worth a click.

The book's got other stories in there as well, mind. I mean, an anthology with just two stories in it would be a bit daft, wouldn't it? Even if you included a quirky biography bit at the end about how you were raised by cabbages and live in a sock in Dorset with your two cats. So, yeah, it's got other stories in there too by Kit Cox, Den Patrick, Jonathan Oliver, Gary McMahon, Andrew Lane, Toby Frost, Ian Whates, Sarah Peploe, David Tallerman, Steven Savile, Josh Reynolds and more. And it's edited by Fighting Fantasy author and historian Jonathan Green (who wrote the pretty much indispensable history of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks 'You Are The Hero' http://www.amazon.co.uk/You-are-Hero-Jonathan-Green/dp/1909679364)

Anyway, the point is we've got a signing on at Forbidden Planet in that London on Saturday 9 May at 1pm, if you fancy coming along.

Something to do, innit...?

Now go finish that sandwich before the dog finds it.

Wish I could be there... But I'll definitely be getting a copy of the book - it sounds awesome!

(Here's the cover for those who need their Coleby / Shark fix in a hurry:)

Darned cunning to sneak a promo into this week's Dredd too...

can't have too many sharks, with or without legs

Cheers, Caroll-bot! And, yeah, weird timing on that Dredd. Had no idea when it was due out.
