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

You're welcome, punks. Hope it makes sense. Have been getting a few messages asking about stuff, so if anyone has anything they wanna ask feel free to ask it here so's everyone can see, innit?

Wotcha!

Was going to post this last week but it took a while for my forum account to get set up. Anyway, I gave a talk at this year's Bristol Comic Expo about my experience of submitting Tharg's Future Shocks, from sending my first script to landing my first series. I've since written up my notes as a blog, which covers how I went about submitting scripts and coping with rejection to how I realised there's no such thing as 'breaking in'. Here's a link: http://alecworley.weebly.com/blog/my-future-shock-hell-breaking-into-2000-ad-and-what-i-learned-while-doing-it

I didn't have room to write anything on twists - different types, how they work, and wotnot (at least how I see it) - but will do so sometime soon.

Cheers,
Alec
