There's probably a separate thread somewhere here to stick this update, but in the meantime I'm putting this here in case anyone's interested since my novel Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat (http://www.anothersky.org/2010/12/) will be published, through US label Another Sky Press, at the end of January 2011.
It's a bit of a cut-up fusion of genres. My editor (Kristopher Young, who penned Click), when pressed, put it thus:
"The book itself is sort of... well, indescribable, really - noirish, subtly sci-fi, hard-boiled, futuristic; Blade Runner with a touch of Sam Spade, a smattering of Orson Welles circa Touch of Evil, or The Third Man. And a shot of bourbon."
Anyway, I'd like to believe that's what we've at least partly achieved...
While we're still in the edit on the book (mostly cleaning up and organizing the cover artwork), we have a sneak preview of the original, unedited first two chapters here:

Anyway, I'm obviously over the moon about publication of the bugger in the new year and hope you have time or inclination to check it out. If you do find the time to potter over something a little different... read away. Heh-heh.
All the best,
