Everything has to have a beginning

Hello all, David here, this is going to be my blog, where I'm going to write random crap and post some of my own work (I'm a writer, sort of), shout out about books I've read, and their authors, TV shows and Movies I've seen, and probably mostly rant at the world while I'm sozzled out my face.

So, Firstly I've got to say this is weird for me because while I'm a bit of a techno geek, I never really got the whole thing about blogging, and even social networking until very recently, on Facebook my friend list went from 3 to 90 odd in the matter of a few months.

Secondly, if you haven't read the Dresden Files and you like Urban Fantasy, by the love of all that is unholy you have to read them, Jim Butcher has completely blown me away with his writing, I never did get the whole 1st person writing style (mostly cause I've been thus far shite at it myself) until I read them  they are extremely well written, funny, sad, thoughtful and smart all at the same time. If you like smart ass main characters, who are constantly getting themselves in stupid positions just cause they do the right thing, trust me you'll love it, it's Urban fantasy but with a detective leaning and believe me you are going to enjoy it.

Third, in the very near future (I'd say 6 months, but more likely 8) I'm going to be releasing a short story book, all of the stories written in the alternative history fantasy world that I have been writing in for a while, the opening book (very raw, unedited and unfinished version) is here Burn Forest City Burn. And I'm looking for writers to do short stories for it too, people to add their own little bit of flavour to my weird world, so if your interested give me a shout and I'll get you some information about my little world and you can play to your hearts content.

Along with the book I'm looking for a concept artist, somebody who is going to define the series and the world by their art, it's my plan to do a whole lot of work in the world, not just with my main characters, and I want a coherent look to it all, so maybe just one or two artists to do the most of the work. Again get in contact with me if you want to give it a shot, give me a shout.

Well I believe that is all for the moment, so have a good day all.
