As previously, the magazine is noted as being in memory of Paul Squires  gingatao.com, who was an ardent supporter and friend to many of the contributors.

They’re storming along now… will be sticking to pen and ink this time as opposed to the photography and fine art stuff I used in addition last time. Probably. Maybe.

For some reason they look a bit blurry on the main post but if you click on the image it sharpens up.

The other book is my second poetry collection, which is all done apart from the illustrations. Which brings me to the main point…

As before, I’ll be illustrating my new books and sheesh, I’m finding it hard to get into the swing again so can I ask you lovely people to nag me simply by coming to my website and taking a look, making sure I’ve posted a new illustration… shall we say one a week?

Maybe I’ll do a competition? Match the illustration to the poem (which will have to be from memory as they disappear from the blog) or short story and you’ll get a free copy of the book? Ahhh, but then I really will be under pressure, eh?

Excellent.

For those who don’t know, Legend picked up and published this in 2008. It had a following from its initial conception and daily postings on the writerscafe. Thoroughly disillusioned with the publishing pitfalls and pitiful royalties, Kiersty now self-publishes the title at a reduced price and as an e-book.

Set in a seaside town (a mixture of Worthing and Hove for those in the know) and introducing many of the colourful local characters, this book introduces Kate and Ern, showing us their unique love story. Ern is a street artist who creates amazing illusions and worlds with his pictures. Kate is just a girl, who’s trying to get by, in her own inimitable fashion, when she quite literally stumbles into his path.

If anyone wants to come to the next one, it is on the 26th November at 8pm. Entry’s only £2 and there’s always something sweet to nibble on (chocs or sweets, of course). The open mic night website can be found here and will be updated with doodles from the night by the end of the weekend.

You can listen to the podcast here (the people mentioned are all regulars on the night… and I had full consent of my lovely mum, haha)

I’m really enjoying this experiment with fontfear, rhythm and mixingupwords but I must re-focus. Christmas is calling, haha.
