Friday, June 05, 2009Flinch Anthology now availableMy first foray into the graphic story genre has now been published in the anthology 'Flinch' from Gestalt Comics. It's a fine piece of publishing. Great stories, fabulous artwork. My contribution, 'Twain' is a dip into a concept I'm fleching out a little more for a BFS story coming out later this year in a new anthology. Click here for the Flinch trailer. You can buy the anthology from amazon.com For all the inside track on the book, check out the Flinch website. Wednesday, June 03, 2009Barclay succumbs and joins twitter...Along with the great and the good of the world (and the trivial and the plain daft), you can now follow me on twitter. My name on this oddly entertaining site is 'Barculator'. If anyone wants to know why I chose that name, you can ask me or my old mate at Threadneedle Investments, James Blake, aka The Blakoid. Click here and look me up.

Labels: Books, Forbidden Planet, Signing Thursday, July 10, 2008The Vault of DeedsAfter much delay, my new novella, 'The Vault of Deeds' has been delivered to PS Publishing. Vault of Deeds is a comedy fantasy poking gentle fun at the whole genre, cramming in cliches, action, a couple of good characters and a whole load of gags. We're hoping to get it out by FantasyCon in September but there's no guarantee as time is tight. Check out my forum for more information, discussion and the answers to any questions on it.
