New Website

YIPPEE!!!

Following a malware attack on the old site, the new NewCon Press website is finally unveiled!

NewCon Press > Home

Many thanks to Del Lakin-Smith who put this together. I'm delighted with it.

If you mean Mr Watson, AE35Unit, then yes, I'm lucky enough to count him a friend.

Ian is chair of the writers group to which I'm vice chair, we jointly chaired the NewCon 4 convention last year (Iain Banks, Ken MacLeod, Storm Constantine and Paul Cornell as the official guests, Alan Moore as the surprise), Ian sub-edits most of the NewCon Press anthologies with me, and we've recently co-edited The Mammoth Book of Alternate History Stories for Constable & Robinson, due to be published next year... So, yes, I do know him.

Very nice. Easy to navigate
I also have most of the books there, and might need to finish of the collection.

Thanks everybody. With the old site having been down for a few months now, it's just great to get anything up and running again. The fact that Del has done such a great job makes it all the sweeter!

Thanks, Michael, Chopper and Patrick!

Busily working away at editing stories for two new anthologies scheduled for early next year, so keep an eye on the site!

One's an anthology of all new vampire stories -- bit of a departure for NewCon Press -- with new offerings from Kelley Armstrong, Tanith Lee, Storm Constantine, Gail Z Martin, Jon Courtenay Grimwood, Simon Clark, Nancy Kilpatrick, Chaz Brenchley, Freda Warrington, and Sarah Singleton, amongst others.
