Gamebook Friday: STARBURST on Bloodbones

Reviews of the Bloodbones App keep on coming and STARBURST magazine seem to have particularly enjoyed it:

For nostalgia junkies and old school games fans, Bloodbones is a great treat. Heartily recommended.
 

I like the reference to YOU ARE THE HERO that appears in the review, which you can read in full here.

And here are links to two more reviews of the app:

Steampunk Thursday: Redemption '15

Two weeks tomorrow, I will be Guest of Honour at the opening ceremony of Redemption '15 - The Multimedia Science Fiction Convention, being held from 20-22 February 2015 at the Britannia Hotel in Coventry.

Should all go according to plan, my current schedule of events looks like this:

Friday 20 February
5.00pm - Meet the Guests panel
8.00pm - Opening Ceremony

Saturday 21 February
12.00pm - How to Write an Adventure Gamebook Workshop
4.00pm - Has Steampunk Had Its Day? panel

Sunday 22 February
11.00am - Guest Talk
12.30pm - Signing Autographs
4.00pm - Closing Ceremony

As well as all this, I will also be selling my books - Pax Britannia and YOU ARE THE HERO mainly. It will be great to get back to Coventry too. I attended the University of Warwick on its outskirts and I haven't been back for a long time.

So, if you're in the area on the weekend of 20-22 February, stop by and say hello. Maybe I'll see you there...

Thought for the Day

Zombie Zunday: Zombie Army Trilogy

Rising from the dead soon is Zombie Army Trilogy, a terrifyingly intense third person shooter set in a gruesome alternate vision of World War II.

Berlin 1945. Facing defeat at the hands of the Allies, Hitler has unleashed one last unholy gamble - a legion of undead super soldiers that threatens to overwhelm the whole of Europe. Fight alone or team up to save humanity from the zombie menace in this apocalyptic shooter for 1-4 players!

When the first game in the trilogy came out back in 2013, I wrote a prequel story to accompany the release, entitled Götterdämmerung. The story is still available to download from Amazon, and still won't cost you a penny. Enjoy.

"Fast paced short story that would probably be a good basis for an all action Second World War film, Nazis at their eerie best."

And yes, Zombie Zunday's a thing now. ;-)
