Siempre Mañana

So then my gentle folks, here I am, warmed over by an August Spanish sun; bleached by pool dipping. Still in expatriate limbo right now, tapping this from an internet café in Calpe (south of Valencia, north of Alicante). Tomorrow should see me in my permanent-for-the-next-six-months-or-so residence and a viable office and broadband connection should follow relatively quickly. It’s hot but good, the lizards are well mannered, the beer is cold, and the mountains beautiful. There will be photos aplenty as and when I am in the position to upload them have no fear and I shall do my best to bring a little of the continent to your eyes. The image here comes from Thompson’s Blog, taken during our ‘leaving night’.
Life On Mars approaches completion — it would approach it a lot sooner if some bastard would let Thompson interview Phil Glenister and John Simm! — and the horizon begins to broaden. Deadbeat went and got itself shortlisted for the BFS “Best Novella” award didn’t it? Beating both Simon Clark and any offering from Telos (the company it was originally pitched for) so I’m surprised but pleased. Mark Morris (shortlisted for “Best Novel” with Nowhere Near an Angel) and I have agreed to get mucho drunk in celebration or commiseration come award night.
I fancy writing something big.
Just a random thought that came to me in the pool…
More in a couple of days.
Love to all of you bastards.
