Hi guys, I just got this from yahoo groups, they are making the UK Yahoo groups the same format as all the other countries. So please read this everyone. On...
Robin Hayter, who played Fritz in The Tripods, said the following about Anne Droyd and Century Lodge on the message board of The League of Freemen (the Yahoo...
That's great news Will. Really nice of him to take the time to comment on your book. Incidentally I notice that the BBC have set up a new web page called "My...
Friends, My fond recollection of the BBC's adaptation of John Christopher's Tripods trilogy is currently being billed as "Today's Classic" on the Beeb's web...
Friends, I would like to extend a warm welcome to dan_deveroux, our fifteenth member. Glad you decided to join us, Dan. A bit of Tripods news (sort of): It...
Friends, Yesterday I received a standard rejection notice from a UK literary agent and felt like giving up (Anne Droyd remains homeless for now!) - Today I...
Great review, Will. And I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment. I read up a lot on the publishing business, and I've become so disillusioned with the...
Never give up, Will. It is one of the things that folks who work in the Arts have to constantly endure; rejection. Some agents, I know from experience, relish ...
Thanks for your encouragement, the pair of you. I get like this every time a publisher/agent says No, and then (usually within a week or two!), I have another...
Friends, I'm thrilled to tell you that BBC4 are making a programme called My Science Fiction Life to complement the web site, and I have been asked to take...
Well, friends, I've done the deed, and I'm now back in Bolton. I was on the train bound for London at 7.30 this morning (got a bit panicky at the tube station...
Congratulations Will! I'm very pleased to hear that you'll be returning to television soon. Not at all gutted that my own contributions to My Science Fiction...
Friends, In case any of you saw the piece about me in the Bolton Evening News (and I know at least one of you did), I'd just like to say that it's not entirely...
Just looking at royalty free pictures that could possibly be used as the cover art for Anne Droyd and the House of Shadows. Whadya think of this one? Will....
The house looks OK, but the lightning strike is pretty amateurishly embossed. I think it will be hard to find a single image that suits your book. You may need...
I was about to say I think it looks fine, but Darryl brought up some good points. The lightning does look really fakie. Then again, you are writing a novel...
Many thanks for the feedback, especially Darryl, James and Colin. I just sent that house one on a whim, really. This one is more my cup of tea. What we end up...
Oh thankyou! ;o) As a professional cartoonist (among other things) that makes me feel great!!! LOL Looking at your second choice, Will, I would tend to dismiss...
I like your ideas, here, Adrian. I think some suggestion of a crooked house should be in there, though, if only a dark sillouhette in the background. The half...
I must extend a big warm welcome to Gavin Wilson, whom I see has just joined our group. Gavin edited a fanzine called RQC (that's Really Quite Cosmic) in...
Thanks for the warm welcome, Will! I see Darryl Sloan is a regular poster here too. It's great to catch up with some of the old crowd, and fantastic to see...
Hey, Gavin! Great to hear from you! (For those outside the loop, I was also an RQC contributor, way back then; Will and I got to know each other through that...
MUCH more eye-catching. However, I'm not a big fan of just picking an image and running with it. The designer in me always has to customise, but if the hooded...
Friends, For those of you who are interested in the author of my childhood favourite, The Tripods Trilogy (that is The White Mountains, The City of Gold and...
