Great collection of BNHs, LP! And don't stay away so long next time. Unless, of course, you're hard at work on your next book!

Thanks, Squire.
Apologies for the absence! Life's been a bit greedy of late, sadly.
As for the stories, yup, I'm still scribbling 'em. I've parked last year's NaNoWriMo effort as it needs a rethink (and could turn into a long 'un). To compensate I'm on a sci-fi tale that I'm dying to show everyone, but it's much too early yet.
I can, however, baffle everyone with a sketch I did to help me visualise one of the key characters, if I can call it that. I present to you the gerald:

Another wee update, this time my ragtag hardback collection of The Adversary Cycle (or Nightworld Cycle, if you will):
The Adversary Cycle by F. Paul Wilson (aka The Nightworld Cycle): The Keep (US first edition); The Tomb (UK first edition); The Touch (UK first edition); Reborn (UK first edition); Reprisal (UK first edition) and Nightworld (BCA edition). All hardbacks. by lucian.poll, on Flickr
Reborn and Reprisal were purchases from last year's WFC, and, like a few other attending authors, F. Paul Wilson had laid his pen to the title pages before I stumped up the readies, which was cool:
Reborn by F. Paul Wilson: title page signed by the author. by lucian.poll, on Flickr
Reprisal by F. Paul Wilson: title page signed by the author. by lucian.poll, on Flickr
The Keep, however, was a book that had my eye throughout the convention: US first edition, amazing condition for a book nearly as old as I was, but it was pricey. On the last day the dealer knocked a third off the price and I couldn't resist. I thought I'd left it too late to pin F. down for a signature, but, as luck would have it, he was pretty much the next fella I ran into!

So that turned out well.

Thanks, guys!
Here's another from the WFC pile of which I'm rather pleased. I saw the book launch for this advertised in the convention programme and fell in love with the cover art.

Which reminds me... Here are a few issues of Grave Tales that Joe Hill signed for me, which was pretty mighty cool:

I also managed to get Peter Crowther's signature too. He seemed surprised to see the comic, albeit in a good way!
