I’ve just had a good meeting with writer and film maker Simon Sheridan. I was interviewed for Simon’s new project, which promises to be a bit special. All that and a nice lunch as well! I was hoping Roy could join us but he was getting ready for the new season…

If any comics professionals, editors, or journalists would like to read THE SICKNESS vol. 1 please let me know. I will gladly send you a nice big PDF. Trying to spread the word as much as possible! Thanks in advance.

A pleasure. Glad to be of service! The article has turned out really well (I’m biased, yes). I hope people enjoy reading it as much as we did putting it together - and it inspires them to read your books, if they haven’t already.

Who else has really missed this walk up to No.6 Cinema? Our volunteers have certainly missed it, and they have really enjoyed seeing so many of our regulars this evening, as well as first time visitors!
