I will be reading a short story written specially for the first annual Write Off. The event comprises writers from Edinburgh's Writer's Bloc and Glasgow's Way Out West (or the GSFWC) it is being held in the basement of Blackfriar's pub in the Merchant City on Tuesday the 7th December from 8pm. Entry is £2.
It should be a good evening, so come one come all to the premiere of 'The 23rd Nail'

That which is not dead, yet can eternal lie...
I thought Enoch's Vault was essentially finished. I was wrong.
I'm doing my editing and taking notes on changing it, but more of it has clawed its way up and is itching the inside of my head. It feels like a sore tooth that you play with, it hurts but its good too.
So I guess the second book will now more likely be part 3 of the original. At least that should get the word count up to something more acceptable to publishers.

Looking Ahead
My immediate work will be to complete the story begun in Enoch's Vault. I'm not sure of a name yet but Azazel's Hammer sounds good.
The next book is shaping up to centre on a group of homeless street kids and explore their mythology as they get caught up in discovering Glasgow's origins as a temple of the moon.

Enoch's Vault
Let me explain the story of Enoch's Vault.
Consultant Detective Alex McEwan finds the Sigil Slayer serial killer he has been hunting to have been killed by his own M.O. He learns Kate Harlow, an old love, is in danger from this new murderer and aided by sinister members of Scotland's occult underground he solves an ancient mystery to find her. He discovers he must prevent the fallen angels who fathered the monstrous Nephilim from returning to earth from the Abyss and avert Armageddon. But Kate claims she has become a Nephilim too.

Finished!
I have completed the second raw version of my first novel, Enoch's Vault. It is short of 50,000 words, so maybe a tough sell but I'm hoping that reading and re-drafting will expand on that. I like the body of the story, I'm not happy with the start and the end though.
