This week my first novel, What the Dead Said, has made it out into the world. Not only that, but a short story of mine, The Beginning of Human Flight: The True Story, has been accepted for issue 10 of SWAMP. But, perhaps more impressively, my sister has created a ray gun out of things she found lying around at home. Now, which one of us would Dr Who find more useful? She lets you know how to make one too over at her blog.
