Angry Robots
New Harper Collins imprint Angry Robot have made their shrewdest signing yet:

The Dreams & Nightmares of Ian Whates :: Angry Robot Books

Of course, I could be marginally biased in this assessment.

Re: Angry Robots
Great news Ian. Congratulations and I look forward to seeing it on the shelves in the new year.

Thaiburley sounds intriguing so I'm sure I'll visit, though I'll be sure to pick which part!

Re: Angry Robots
Excellent news, Ian: a series of novels.



(It seems that the adage is true: Good things come to those who're Whates. )





EDIT: Oops: that wasn't meant to look such a tart remark.

Re: Angry Robots
Thanks, folks; naturally I'm chuffed!

Wish they hadn't compared Thaiburley to Gormenghast though... sheesh, nothing to live up to there then!

Means I'm due to have two novels out next spring from two different publishers -- this plus the first of two space opera novels from Solaris, with a further Thaiburley book due in the autumn (fall).

Please excuse me while I just go and pinch myself.

Will be great to catch up, Mark -- haven't seen you and Sarah in an age! Guess that's what being busy does.

Many thanks, jd, ctg, and Chopper (phew, thought I could only type in initials there for a minute!), for your kind words... Roll on 2010!
