Short Trips - Soon-To-Be Collector's Items

Happy holidays, everyone! Very few posts this year. I hope to change that in 2010.

Just read that Big Finish, who published my Doctor Who story "Flashpoint" in their Short Trips anthology series, lose their licence to sell the books after Dec. 31, 2009.

The books are selling for cheap right now on the BF website. Afterwards, expect to find them on eBay.

Short Trips

Re:Collections - The Best of Short Trips cover
My story "Flashpoint" will be reprinted in the upcoming Re:Collections - The Best of Short Trips.

Big Finish has been publishing hardcover Doctor Who short story anthologies since 2002. With their fiction licence to publish the books about to expire, they're publishing Re:Collections in May. It features a highlight story from each of the 28 previous anthologies, including works by Justin Richards, Marc Platt, Jonathan Morris and Paul Magrs.

I'm quite flattered, indeed. Thanks again to Ian and Jeri for their assistance with the final draft.

(I wrote about the initial publication of "Flashpoint" in a previous post.)

Myth Makers: Retrospective

Myth Makers: Retrospective - cover by Iain Robertson
Cover by Iain Robertson
Been a while since my last update. Big surprise. I left Victoria last fall and moved to Calgary for work. Am now parading at HMCS Tecumseh and working full time for a small tech company, doing Flash programming and web scripting.

And after 13 years in Victoria, I'm experiencing a real Canadian winter again...


For any fan fiction or Doctor Who fans out there, I've put together Myth Makers: Retrospective. It features highlight stories and artwork from issues of Myth Makers released between 1991-2001. I laid out the anthology using OpenOffice.org 3.0, and the artists were kind enough to rescan their original artwork. The anthology is available for free in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format.

(The file resolution is a web-friendly 100 dpi. A two-part 200 dpi version is available upon e-mail request.)
