Isolation shortlisted for the British Fantasy Awards - and a giveaway!

This will already be old news for some of you (that it's taken me three weeks to write this is testament to how busy I am right now), but I'm thrilled to announce that Isolation: The Horror Anthology has been shortlisted for a British Fantasy Award. The book came out last September with Titan Books, and if you haven't already grabbed a copy you should know that it includes stories by Joe R. Lansdale, Paul Tremblay, Tim Lebbon, M. R. Carey, Ken Liu, Nina Allan, Ramsey Campbell, Alison Littlewood, Brian Evenson, Angela Slatter, Jonathan Maberry, Mark Morris and many, many more.

For Tomorrow I think is one of the creepiest collections I’ve read, managing to offer varied and powerful stories and yet at no time is it ever clear what did happen in 1993 at Wellbrook, which makes it even by the end more ominous and sinister. I do wonder if we could find more lost pupils from that school in the future, but this is a standout modern horror collection well

New Zealand, the Rugby World Cup... and a new travel book

It's almost time for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, and with it comes some book news. My book Ka Mate: Travels in a Maori Country will be available soon from Amazon as a Kindle eBook, so those of you travelling to New Zealand for the World Cup - or those of you wanting to tour the country virtually from the comfort of your sofa - should watch this space. Details of how to buy Ka Mate will be published here shortly, but in the meantime check out the Ka Mate blog for more info, some NZ photos, and daily updates on the World Cup and all things Kiwi. As for the All Blacks' chances? I'm saying nothing... but they do have a habit of dropping out, don't they?
