Vast and Gruesome
Hi all - I have had a fourth attempt at publishing a book The Vast and Gruesome Clutch of Our Law, which is now available at: www.amazon.com . Please buy this book. It is good. Synopsis: The world is in the grip of a large catastrophe. Edward lives in a small community which has barely survived the long cruel winter. But when a stranger called Dean arrives in town hope returns and he seems to have a magical effect on them. But Dean is being tracked by a large foreign military power and the town is in big trouble for giving him shelter. Reviews: "The book is intriguing. I found it overwhelming. I found myself unwilling to let the book go until I had finished it. I would definitely pick up the sequel if I were to come across it." "I was genuinely interested in where this tale was heading and there are some fine ideas in here." "Its post-apocalypse setting and ambience stimulated an affectionate nostalgia" – Reviews from the book (2005). “It had me absolutely...

Future Towns Magazine
I always intended to develop a magazine about disaster technology, sustainability, architecture and engineering and hazard research. This week I began the long process of building up a portfolio of really good, interesting articles for Future Towns Magazine. I am looking for journalists with a passion for green issues, or disaster management, so please take a look and contact me from the contacts page of the online journal: http://www.futuretowns.com . Thanks.
The Green 'M': The Battle for Freedom and Justice in Psychiatry.
Vagabond Unlimited has a new e-book to view, concerning the rights and freedoms of mentally ill people. It covers the arguments to improve treatment and introduce new rights to the process of detention for treatment. Here are the details: The Green ‘M’: The Battle for Freedom and Justice in Psychiatry by B.C.Bamber. The psychiatric profession is running out of credibility. Patients have no right to defend themselves against forced treatment and detention without trial. The UN has declared these practices illegal. This book explores the alternatives, the arguments, the science, and the politics of madness. Longer description: Psychiatry is on the run. Their dopamine theory of Schizophrenia isn’t proven, and yet patients are forced to take medication based on this theory. Patients are interned and have less rights than criminals. Patients are routinely forced to take medication that they say no to. When they say no, they are pinned down and injected with dangerous and infective drugs, ov...
The Bridport Reject Collective: Six Cruel and Unusual Short Stories.
A new piece which has been put together using all the short stories that I've had published elsewhere, or entered into the Bridport Prize , plus one new story, has been published on http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/66575 . It is on sale for $2.00, so no excuses (you know who you are)! It is available on all e-reader formats including Kindle, you can read it online as a HTML or as a word file (there maybe a delay of a couple of days for some readers due to Smashwords premium distribution approval process). No doubt The Bridport Prize people will be slightly pissed off that I am piggy backing on their notority. And no doubt people might find my title a little bitter, as if I felt I should have won this prize hands down or something. No. I know that the Bridport Prize is a very tough competition - probably the toughest and this has been the only competition I have ever entered as a writer. I have a great deal of respect for this competition and I would consider it to be the only c...
