There are loads of little things that I come across that I’m fairly naff at sharing at the time I find them. So this post is my attempt at catching up on a couple of them. I hope you find it useful.

Colin Harvey is an Angry Robot
The Bristol-based author has signed up with Angry Robot Books for two novels, the first of which – WINTER SONG – will be appearing as soon as October this year, with the second to follow in May 2010.
Colin has for some years been an active contributor British small presses and blogs, and he is a regular reviewer for Strange Horizons,but these novels will mark his debut with a major publisher. His writing manages to combine solid action with a deeper, more reflective style that, when combined, delivers fabulous modern science fiction.
Book one, WINTER SONG, sees bio-engineered starship pilot Karl Allman crashing his craft onto a snowy planet inhabited by Viking-like tribes, the remnants of earlier colonisation efforts. As the natives help him find a way back to the stars, he comes to realise that they are far from primitive. That will be followed by DAMAGE TIME, a near-future thriller from a world where America is on its last legs (topical, us?) and being parcelled off between the Chinese and the Muslims. A policeman who specialises in reading the last memories of murder victims comes under suspicion himself…
