As of the Monday
As you might, or might not know, FLESH HOUSE has just come out in the US of A, and to commemorate the occasion I've been roped into blogging on the St. Martin's Press Moments In Crime site from Monday. Well, not so much 'roped in' as 'threatened with severe physical thumpings if I don't'. The worst bit is that I've been committed* to doing a post a day, so I can't just slack off like I usually do here.
And that means I've got to come up with things to ramble inanely about every single sodding day for almost a whole week. A WHOLE WEEK! Which is going to be a real broken-glass suppository. But needs must when someone's threatening to slam your sinful-man-parts in a desk drawer.
Groan...
But you can catch the first fun and frolics filled instalment here.
* Some people think I should have been committed years ago, but they're just jealous because the voices won't talk to them. Because they smell. Of poo. You hear that, jealous people? You smell all of poo, and you're made of poo, and when you talk, poo comes out! Oh hell yeah, I can do smack talk.

Post a CommentSo the good old US of A had to wait 5 months for Flesh House - well worth the wait. I see what you meant about the strange American cover - I got a copy of the US proof - why can't they just use the UK cover - it's much better.
Funny how US covers are so monumentally different to UK covers, at least 90% of the time, and IMHO, nowhere near as good.
As for you coming up with daily inane blatherings, Mr Stuart - if anyone can do it, you can...
I'm guessing you probably won't get away with pictures of Grendel's hunting conquests over there either, will you.
It's silly the US always has to wait for books, patience isn't one of my virtues so I've had it for ages.
Haven't seen the cover art, but I'm sure it's nowhere near as good as the UK, never is.
But I'll talk it up to my friends no worries!!!
One has to believe that American covers are the way they are for a reason. If it didn't sell books, the publishers wouldn't do it. And if nothing else it makes the collection look a bit more varied on the shelves.
As for random witterings, I'm going to have to do at least two of them with horrendous jetlag. Which might make for slightly surreal reading...
ha
cover's cover's
so much for not judging a book....
says alot about the US, doesn't it?
fundamentally explains their whole economic meltdown....but we still all love them americans.
Nice author photo, Stuart - made me think someone was about to burst through the red door and chop your ass cheeks off with a machete - creepy
Just read the first blog posting - looks fine - don't worry.
I was surprised when you said that you had got a bad reaction from some people over Sawbones. As you have said, you had the opportunity to write the book for Barrington Stoke and did it. I found the book to have the same pace as the Logan books just shorter and set in the US (all stated by you in the blog).
I suppose there might be a similar reaction to Halfhead when it's published as it's historical and not Logan McRae. Can't please all the folks all of the time I suppose.
I am shocked at the multiple use of the word 'poo' in this blog.
I am reading cold granite, it is so good, that I can't put it down. I now live in Australia, but am an old Dundonian! Yes! that awful town,just south of Aberdeen. Am looking forward to the next 4 books.
