Firstly, I have been doing some promotional / review work for Spectral Press. In a previous post I posted a review that I had done on their The Christmas Ghost Stories of Lawrence Gordon Clark - he who breathed new life into M R James on the television. At the same time as I was posting a review all through my social media, a new magazine titled The Spectral Times (and no way part of Spectral Press - literally just a coincidence) came into being. Issue Two of Spectral Times has just been released and it contains my review of the LGC book. Here is a link to it http://en.calameo.com/read/002938563b769d352896d

I have just completed a re-write on my informal portrait on Anne Rice - Her Dark and Secret Grace and an interview with Bertena Varney both for possible inclusion in the new volume of Vampire News. You can find out more about Bertena on her web page here: http://bertena.com/
I have also completed an interview with Brian McKinley for his blog. It'll hopefully feature some pictures and I talk about my work in the Fresh Blood vampire anthology. Here is a link to his blog and as soon as the interview is up, I will post it here. http://brianpatrickmckinley.webs.com/
I have also completed the sequel to Tear of Blood - A Matter of Life for Death is set twenty years after the events in Tear of Blood and is another take on the vampire/succubus myth. As always my dear friend Anthony Hogg has unbeknown been an influence on my vampiric tale and has my thanks. You can find out more about Anthony's researches into vampires here: http://thevampirologist.wordpress.com/ and here: http://vamped.org/
I am hoping that Reflections issue 19 will publish it (at time of writing I am awaiting confirmation). Issue 12 of We Belong Dead, which is due out any time now features my re-examination of Universal's 1935 Karloff/Lugosi shocker The Raven. And I'm working on two Charlotte Dymond projects - my full length re-investigation and a feature for Spectral TImes, Re-Examining Dracula's Daughter and a couple of other things.
All in all January has been a very productive month so far
