desperancePete Crowther has been a friend of mine for, ooh, many years now. I was always a fan of his short stories; I am deeply enamoured of his wife (it's okay, they both know this; I have Licence to Flirt).
When he set up PS publishing, with the express intention of providing a market for the SF/F/H novella, I thought that was a fine thing. I thought I'd write him some novellae.
So I did, twice, and he turned them both down. It's a confusing thing, this friendship...
Anyway. Nothing daunted, I wrote a third, Rotten Row, my first lengthy foray into straight SF. It's been around a while now, being reworked a couple of times; last week, finally, JJ sent it to Pete for an opinion, as PS is still the publisher of first recourse.
With the enthusiastic support of Nick Gevers as editor, he's bought it.
Yay! My first legitimate SF volume!!
You'll have to wait a while, mind - PS is notoriously backed-up with material, and it probably won't be out till 2011. Possess your souls in patience...
PS - it's all![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mevennen's fault. I was chasing her across London when I did two things - walked the length of Rotten Row and saw my first cycle-rickshaw - that triggered the whole thing in my head...
