Get Your Ass to Mars

I am now at liberty to break radio silence about The Calamari-Men of Mare Cimmerium.

This is my new short story contribution to the 2014 Iris Wildthyme anthology, Iris Wildthyme of Mars.
The book is edited by Phillip Purser-Hallard and his blog is now displaying the collection's blurb and the full line-up of authors here.

It's been great to have the chance to play with Iris again. Things are slightly different this time around. For starters, Iris herself is in a different incarnation (the Jane Fonda-y/Barbarella-esque version from the Doctor Who novel, The Blue Angel to be precise).
Also, my story will have some accompanying illustrations, which I have just completed. It's been fun to do, but was also slightly intimidating when I saw Paul Hanley's amazing wrap-around book cover.

The anthology will be up for pre-order on the Obverse website any day now, so keep an eye out.

In other news, check out the mixes page for A Deconstructed Frankie Knuckles Sandwich - a new mix I have dedicated to memory of the Godfather of House.

Right, the decks are cleared. It is time to begin the Great Undertaking.
