Eye Trouble

My sight problem, which emerged a couple of months back, turns out to be a detached retina that needs prompt surgery. I may be 'going under' tomorrow (Friday) morning, or early next week failing that. Then lots of weeks off work, rattling around the flat, possibly going insane while the thing heals up and unblurs itself. Sorry for paucity of postings, but with luck I'll get back on track by summertime.

Well done, Louis!

Louis Marvick, whose story 'Pockets of Emptiness' will be appearing in the next ST (out soonish, I hope) has had a novel accepted by Ex Occidente Press. Things are really taking off in Bucharest. Congratulations to Louis, who joins a rich panoply of talent being published by the very energetic Ex Occidente. Workaholic, much? Look at the list of books. 

'Schalken the Painter' by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

A reading by yours truly of one of the all-time classics. I hope you enjoy it!  I'm told my voice sends people to sleep so maybe try it ...
