Been a wee while since posting about INFESTATION up the thread here. It turned into a series about the S-Squad, a bunch of sweary Scottish squaddies fighting monsters. Number 8 in the series, OPERATION: MONGOLIA launched today. Worms! Big Worms!

Now that we're back, what's everyone been up to on the publishing front?

I've got 2 series on the go at Severed Press, one feature my wee sweary Scottish squaddies fighting monsters, the other a Victorian team of adventurers trapped in a 'colossal cavern' underground. Apart from that, I have a new Carnacki short story collection at Dark Regions Press, and I've signed a 3 book deal with Silver Shamrock Publishing for 3 story collections, in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

I'm an old age pensioner now, but don't seem to be slowing down any just yet :)

My 3 book deal with Silver Shamrock is now no longer happening (I had a wee disagreement with the publisher. Don't ask. :) ), but on a positive note, I've sold a story, HERDERS to TERROR TALES OF THE SCOTTISH LOWLANDS, the next in Paul Finch's excellent series from Telos Press.

Congrats, Willem, on selling Herders. Too bad about your three-book deal, but I'm sure you'll find another home for them.

Last year I wrote a Christmas horror short for Gabino Igleaias' Halldark Holidays anthology. It didn't make the cut.

Today I signed the contract for that story to appear in a different Christmas horror anthology.

Never Give Up. Never Surrender. :evil

Sold a collection of supernatural Inspector Lestrade stories to Weird House Press. It's getting the signed, illustrated limited edition hardcover treatment too, with artwork by my long-time collaborator M Wayne Miller, which is nice...

While I was recuperating, I sold the Turkish language rights to my CARNACKI: HEAVEN AND HELL collection to Otantik Kitap
Wow! Do you have an agent working on your behalf?

Gosh, Turkish, that blows my mind. I hope they give you copies, whether or not you can read them.

No agent... they got in touch with my publisher direct... and yes, I'm getting copies... I've got a whole swathe of German issues of my books on the shelf already that I can't read, so one more won't matter :)
