I write fiction. My latest novel, Shriek: An Afterword, is now out in the US, published by Tor. I'm currently co-editing a series of anthologies with my wife, Ann, who is also the fiction editor of Weird Tales. We have three cats, all of whom have eccentric personalities. Soon, I will be moving to WordPress and my happiness will be complete.

Jeezuzkraist on a stick, 100 000 credits is quite a large sum of money in most western currencies, even $'s. Congrats from a non-reader (who evidently needs to enlighten himself), too.
I'm SO pleased about this I can't begin to describe it. Let's just leave it with the words: "Well Deserved".
Of course that last comment was from me...

Isn't it, though, Neil? Tamar had such trouble placing that novel and yet hung in there. And now this!

Cool :)

I can't think of a more deserving person for it to happen to, really.
I still remember listening to her read from it at Robin Hood's Bay and thinking: "this is something special".
And it turns out we weren't going to be the only ones who thought so!
Huzzah for Tamar!

Fabulous news. Thoroughly deserved. And thank you, Jeff, for persuading me to read the book.
Excellent news. Good to hear - beautiful writing coming up trumps.
