The Impotence of Proofreading

I've Got A Shop! I've Got A Shop!
This shop helps me at least pretend that the blog has some commercial value thus improving marital relations and preserving the myth that sitting in front of a computer for hours at a time can legitimately be termed as 'work'.
The designs are my original work apart from the stuff I ripped off other people.

Freebie Alert! Download these web survival tools that I helpfully compiled for my 2007 talk Who’s Afraid of the World Wide Web – on how authors can survive the New Realities of the Internet.
NEWS NEWS NEWS NEEEEWS!
The excellent Anita Loughrey interviewed me in anticipation of my talk in Bologna and here it is on the Cynsations blog.
Undiscovered Voices, the ground-breaking anthology published by British SCBWI in association with Working Partners is out! My novel Ugly City won a place in the anthology at last year's competition. Buy the anthology.
My cartoon is featured on the cover of Simon Morse's
The Pregnant Guy: Journey to the Center of the Birth.
Simon's book answers previously neglected issues that affect expectant fathers such as "Am I getting fat?".
All pregnant fathers must buy this book - it will be a nice thing to read while sleeping on the couch once the baby is born.
