April Lookback

April has definitely been a more chilled month project-wise. I did manage to get that surprise writing project I mentioned last month in hushed tones completed though. I can be a little more open about that now.now. Tara, Guy N. Smith's daughter asked me to provide the introduction to one of my favourite GNS books - Son of the Werewolf. Whilst extremely excited by the honour, I did get a little stressed and nervous about the proposition. But I hope I provided something she was happy to print alongside her Dad's excellent novel. 

Whilst on the topic of GNS, I also managed to collate all the content of the second Guy N Smith zine. My literary contribution o this is my very first attempt at a ghost story ( of sorts), which is based on Guy N Smith's story about a prison door he purchased back in the day. Tara was kind enough to send me a photo of said door, which you can see below:

For those very few people who have read my tale about the old prison door, you will see that I took a bit of artistic licence with the gaol door in my story.. But, aye, this is a work of pulp horror fiction. As well as featuring alongside a plethora of other Guy N. Smith fan fiction of the upcoming GNS zine, this short story will also appear in a slightly amended form as my first entry in my new Christmas ghost story strand... later in the year. Expect the chapbook closer to the Christmas season.

Anyway, that's it for my April diary update. May is already looking busy, so keep checking this blog regularly for updates...
