I'm a Northern Irish based speculative fiction author. My first book, The Even, is being published by Morrigan Press. It will be launched at FANTASYCON in September.
I'm living on it at the moment. (I also once drank one of those big thermos mugs full of expresso - it would have gone to waste otherwise! - and didn't die! Talked even faster than I usually do, but didn't die. That's the sort of coffee tolerance you need in this business!) ;)
Ah, Tammy - you'll have to come to Scotland and have some Irn Bru 32! I'm somewhat hooked on it at the mo... 32mg caffeine & taurine to 100ml of 'juice'. Very peppy! Irn Bru supposedly produced it for students cramming for exams. And it does taste nicer than that nasty Red Bull stuff - yuck!
Woo Hoo Tammy, savour the moment then get back to work. Coffee up and make the keyboard sing, so to speak. I had a novel published in Poland in 2005, and it is now under consideration in France, but for the life of me it hasn't been sold in English - must be a translation thing. Welcome aboard and thrive - as David Brin often says to me.
