Yep, nothing better than a little caffeine-based retribution. It was the principle, damn it! And I'd do it again!!!

One part Jurassic Park, and the other part Wolfen--mix thoroughly and you'll have The Wolfen Strain, a complex DNA thriller that brings monsters out of the past and back to life.

In a remote compound...

I have... singular... thoughts as the clock's bony finger passes the witching hour.Here is but one of them...

So last night, it was dry and the sky was full of stars so around 11.30 PM I decided to walk the dogs.

So there we were in the middle of the field at the centre of the South Beach estate in Blyth and I heard 3 gunshots in the estate about a 1000 yards away from me. (It's a nice area not the rough part) I wasn't worried about me cos I'm as hard as concrete but I decided to ring 999

Within minutes the police helicopter flew over the place where I'd said I heard the shots...

Back in 2001 I was finishing my manuscript for my epic fantasy, that had taken 7 years of fairly solid writing and rewriting to complete. It evolved massively during that time - but at every stage, I wrote in a vaccum.

I would only look at another fantasy book to sneer at it - I wouldn't read writing books because I figured they were mostly written by armchair critics.

And I had an abominable degree of arrogant self-belief. I thought I was on a par with Shakespeare!...
